Doo-Dooettes - Think Space (1975),LP,USA (NWW list!,LAFMS)

 
Great release from Los Angeles Free Music Society weirdos Doo-Dooettes, related with Airway, Le Forte Four, the Residents, Half Japanese, John Duncan, Boyd Rice. "Group improvisations intended to accompany a film on the Viking space probe in 1975. Includes the original Doo-Dooettes lineup; Dennis Duck, Juan Gomez, Fredrik Nilsen, Tom Recchion, Harold Schroeder.." "The unearthing of the LAFMS recordings is experimental rock history at its most historical and hysterical -- a completely bizarro and further-out counterpart to the LA punk scene." -- Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth.
Note that "Think Space " project was unreleased till now that Cortical Foundation released it on cd version acompanied by a 7" with recordings from 1977(not included here).

Airway - Live at the Lace ,LP 1978, USA (NWW list!/LAFMS label)

 


 


 

2 track LP on LAFMS recs from 1978 by Airway.Two long improv freak outs of distorted garbled greatness.Guitars,drums,sax,mandolin,bass and "vocals" all get a heavy dose of electronic treatments.
It was recorded live at Lace Gallery in downtown Los Angeles, April 27, 1978. This incarnation featured Vetza (vocals), Tom Recchion (drums), Rick Potts (electric mandolin), Dennis Duck (sax), Juan Gomez (electric guitar & bass), Chip Chapman (processing mix & microsynthesizer) and Joe Potts (tapes processing & mix).
The first pressing came with color xeroxes of autopsy photos on both sides (the credits state that the model is Vetza, which is incorrect; the 'model' is a real autopsy subject!).


"Airway was a musical ensemble based within the Los Angeles Free Music Society.
Airway was initially a solo project of Le Forte Four member Joe Potts. The first release was the Airway 7", which featured subliminal messages to coincide with an art exhibition in Tokyo. In August 1978 Airway made their live debut at the Lace Gallery. This lineup featured Potts and Chip Chapman on electronics, Vetza on vocals, Rick Potts on mandolin, Dennis Duck on saxophone, Juan Gomez on bass, and Tom Recchion on drums. They attempted to create subliminal messages beneath a wall of noise by using tape delay. Recordings from the performance were released as Live At Lacy by the Los Angeles Free Music Association.
Throughout 1978 the group performed more concerts with differing lineups, but always with Joe Potts' subliminal message experiments. The project disbanded in 1979. Airway reformed in 1998 for a performance at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, which featured 18 musicians. Recordings from the performance were released as Beyond the Pink Live.
Their sound influenced the Japanese noise band Hijokaidan"
