whoever filmed this - thank fuck. i wish a greater effort had been made to document in film the bulk of the work done by all the genius bands between like, 1965 and 1979. 80% of my fave music comes from that period

Jesus Lord . . . I just found a copy of James Chance's debut album "Buy" and bought it on a whim . . . This stuff is absolutely amazing! It's like a punked up James Brown funk - but not, if you know what I mean. Anyway, this is a fantastic video of him and his band the Contortions in action back in the late '70s, when New York was the Capital of Music. Thanks for posting this!

I remember hearing "Contort Yourself" years ago from the "Buy" album, which is similiar to this tune. I thought it was one of the most bizarre and individual vocal performances I'd ever heard. But the groove they have going is so addictive I couldn't stop listening. "Take that, corporate bores!" I was heard to say.

Jimmy and his band ... ( 1 month ago by txmcxlx)
Jimmy and his band were total avant guard in a music world dominated by trash music lawyers and pay for play radio. One of the greatest bands of all time. The Van Gough of punk rock.

Out of all scenes ive heard about, read about and seen, no wave is the best. No scene, no posers, no hypes, no sharkjumpers, no brands, just extremely diverse music.

I read about this band recently, and I have to say, it's more than I'd hoped for. No Wave was something I was born too late for, but can thankfully enjoy thanks to the intarwubs. Ass shakin' stuff
