“Who else was combining pounding metal percussion, Glenn Branca-tuned surf guitar, motorik drumming, Middle Eastern modal tones, 80s hardcore punk energy with song titles like ‘Attempted Coup Madagascar’?” ~ Stuart Swezey (@desolationcent) #SavageRepublic #TragicFigures
We are sad to report the passing of Phil Drucker, co-founder of Savage Republic and 17 Pygmies who leaves behind an amazing legacy of music. As a professor of Constitutional Law, he was a beloved mentor. RIP Phil, your music and spirit live on! @IndependentIPR
Definitely the vibe! Was that SRL/Neubauten show at the On Broadway? If so, I was there too. Amazing night!
I may have missed those shows but caught Sonic Youth & Savage Republic in SF as well as an amazing SRL/Neubauten show. My wife lit Blixa’s cigarette for him! We avoided dehydration but I’m pretty sure we both have a little permanent hearing damage 👂💥🖤
This is the amazing original black&white drawing Steven Krakow (aka Plastic Crimewave) made for his Damaged Guitar Gods trading cards (which accompanied his 9th Galactic Zoo Dossier zine published by @dragcityrecords).
Yep, this is Stuart tweetin' away here. The Desolation Center shows were back in the Dark Ages before medical science proved that terrible music combined with dehydration could be lethal.
No problem, I appreciate the follow-back! Is this Stewart S. tweeting for this account or...? In addition to being a fan of terrible music, earaches and dehydration I am also a filmmaker & screenwriter :D
Love that! Where is your library?
Really appreciate the kind words and the shout out!
I read about the Desolation Center shows in a magazine about a year after they happened, had I only known. It would have been my Woodstock. It WAS excellent programming, y'all hit my personal demographic bullseye so well done. 💀🎸⚙️🔨🔥🤘🖤
Excellent programming.
