I've seen a lot of these bands that are namechecking the No New York scene and one of the few bands that I have seen that seem to have gotten it somewhat right are the Ex-Models. Sometimes they reming me of DNA at their most noisiest. I also feel that they have listened to Naked City a good bit also. Melt Banana have an abstracted kinship as well, one that I have never been able to explain, I felt this after seeing them in Atlanta last Novenber. In between all the high energy rock stuff there were these interludes of electronic noise sculptures that not only captured the No Wave feel but also made me feel a little like I was attending a Fluxus event.
