America Underground (excerpt)
by Karlo Ferdinand and Jim Green
The Screamers: The idea here, I guess, is to reduce the intrinsic elements
of R'n'R down to nothingness, then start over and wind up with some kinda
avant-gardness or, geesh, I give up. If any of you TPers are hip of the
Fifty Foot Hose or primal Lather and the Hand People you might form a
crude foundation of what it's all about. The leaders here are Tomata and
Gear, two self-styled spineheads originally from NY, then known as the
Tupperwares(changed 'cos of legal problems). If I remember correctly(last
time I saw 'em was a while ago), sound eminates from a toy-looking keyboard,
a cardboard-looking drum kit, and the vokes of Tomata. Half of the time
affiars are amusing, inspired, neat just 'cos of the differentness, but
the worn-out seig heil marches and related Nazi tantrums transcend the
stoopid to the stupid. There's a difference.
