Description
Kramer's first band after leaving DAEVID ALLEN's NY GONG in 1980 was THE CHADBOURNES, an LSDC&W ensemble fronted by Eugene Chadbourne, with John Zorn, David Licht, and the late Tom Cora. That band eventually became a trio, got way louder and crazier, and re-named itself SHOCKABILLY after the departures of Zorn and Cora. They went on to sign with Rough Trade Records in 1982 and make 5 LP's together, all produced by Kramer.
This long out-of-print CD includes the last two of this great band's releases, 1984's "VIETNAM" (war & violence), and 1985's posthumously released "HEAVEN" (death & decay). Highlighted by a guest appearance by Ed Sanders of The Fugs on the Kramer-Sanders song "Nicaragua" (and recorded during the same time period that Kramer was working with Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg in the '1984 FUGS' reunion band and subsequent concert tours), this cd is an indispensable ingredient in the seemingly endless listings of musical recipes in the forthcoming Kramer cookbook.
