LYDIA LUNCH & THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET - Permafrost / Mass Production - 10'' - Blue Vinyl [FEB 13]

10'' - Limited Edition Blue Vinyl. 

THE ART GRAY NOIZE QUINTET collide with the queen of no wave LYDIA LUNCH on a new two-fisted ten-inch single . . . Melting the Magazine classic "Permafrost", and grinding out an apocalyptic version of Iggy Pop's "Mass Production".

THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET is spearheaded by twisted Australian guitar legend STUART GRAY, most notoriously known as STU SPASM of LUBRICATED GOAT, CRUNT, SALAMANDER JIM, and THE BEASTS OF BOURBON. Adding another crazed chapter to an already solidly sordid musical history, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet stars some of the finest scoundrels of the New York City underground scene - SKELETON BOY of WOMAN on two-string bass, NIKKI D'AGOSTINO on sax, and veteran drummer RICH HUTCHINS of LIVE SKULL providing the savage, swinging beat. A rotating roulette of characters swagger into the second guitar slot as needed, each showcasing their particular specialty - twang, treble, or atmosphere. Stuart Gray's wayward path through the flashpoints of noise, grunge, and swamp-rock history is well-represented in the Quintet's sound - chaos with a cinematic edge. Sharing stages with kindred spirits such as THE SCIENTISTS and MUDHONEY got the attention of audiences early on. Their recordings and incendiary gigs throughout the New York scene and beyond soon caught the eye of the infamous LYDIA LUNCH, and it was only a matter of time before a new collaboration was born . . .

"Speaking of noise, that’s kind of Stu Spasm’s thing — from Lubricated Goat in the late 1980s, to his current project, THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET. This elder statesman of clamour hasn’t lost his touch." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
