Massacre

• 3 SIDED LP

• INCLUDE 8 BONUS TRACKS

Of the many obscure and wonderful albums recorded by members of the downtown avant-garde elite in the early 1980s, this is one of the most obscure and most wonderful. Massacre (despite its heavy-metallish moniker) was a challenging but quirkily charming "power trio" consisting of guitarist Fred Frith, bassist Bill Laswell and drummer Fred Maher, all of whom had already established themselves as movers and shakers in the experimental-music world.

It's difficult to imagine anyone with a taste for unusual rock & roll not being seduced by this rough gem of an album
