Tape Delay: Confessions from the Eighties Underground (1987)

THIS BOOK WAS MY BIBLE!
If your interested in any the the artists listed on the back of this book (above) then I highly recommend buying it. If you already know about the bands then this will be a supplement or just to complete your obsessive collection, if you're just discovering them then this will give you much needed info on the history of these pioneering sub-artists.

My favorite chapter has to be the one about "The Hafler Trio". Great subject on sound and it's effects on the body and mind.

No Artistic Merit

Here is a flyer from June 1990.
The Legendary Pink Dots were slated to play on Saturday June 23. If I recall, the Dots applied for visas to get into the US but were declined do to "No artistic merit". I have a tape recording of a interview with Edward Ka-Spel talking about the problem getting into the US, i'll look for that tape soon and post it.
Around this time, Boston was having a "Golden Age" of experimental/industrial/noise shows like the "Static and Interference Tour" hosted by WZBC. The exact dates escape me but I was lucky to see Psychic TV, Hafler Trio, Chris & Cosey, Danielle Dax, Zbigniew Karkowski, and a slew of others at venues across town.
I know I have another flyer packed away somewhere for the "Static" show, i'll post once it's located.
