Speaking of James Chance, he's playing over here at the end of May (22nd). Does anyone know what to expect? Is he still in good conditions? Is his music/performance still representative with the music that made him famous? I thought I saw something of a live review on the zorn-list a couple of months ago about a performance of him on a festival (Austria? Polland? not sure...).

James Chance and the Contortions - he's my personal favourite from the No Wave era; kind of James Brown meets punk meets free jazz. Others can help with Mars and DNA, which I haven't gotten into. Sonic Youth is post-no wave, they are informed by No Wave (i.e. Glenn Branca's influence); they came too late for No Wave as it was a very short lived movement in the late 70s and very early 80s. Eno produced a compilation in '79 (I think) called No New York, which is a sampler of No Wave. It has Teenage Jesus, Chance, Mars, and DNA. I don't think it is available on CD, but maybe as an import?

hello,
I'm curious about "no wave". I'd like some recommendations of artists/groups etc to check out. I ope to find some mp3s, as I'm curious to what it sounds like.
wasn't DNA one of the 'no wave' pioneers? & arto too?
is anyone doing this stuff at the Arto (it was a 70s/80s movement, right?)? are Sonic Youth "no wave"?
thanks
