Electric Chairs

Postby firefall » Tue May 10, 2005 10:45 pm

Who likes here Wayne/Jayne County and the Electric Chairs?Really a big surprise,to listen totwo of their three albums,and to like them both!Killing street punky rock n' roll,bitchy attitude,sexually oriented songs and a chaotic tranvestite persona like Wayne/Jayne.Especially their''Things momma never told you'' album from 1979,sails into an electro-psych direction,through the cold production of David Cunningham(Flying Lizards)and the dark-sick lurics of County.Not for all the tastes,but i believe a pretty important band of punk/new wave.

I'm a huge fan. Wayne (technically he's still Wayne, he never went "all the way" with the surgery)was supposed to play here last year with my band opening and I was more psyched than for any other show I've played in 20 years. Unfortunately there was a

Saw Wayne/Jayne with the Electric Chairs a few years ago in NYC. Great set but way too short (only about 30 minutes or so)

I like what I've heard from the Electric Chairs. I have an LP on tape, plus the retrospective CD that Wayne put out about 8 years ago. Very underrated band.

Fun artist, classic fixture of the early NYC punk scene. The two lps I have are "Blatantly Offensive" by the Electric Chairs and "Storm the Gates of Heaven". And I have the original 45 of his tribute to Max's Kansas City (the NY night club).
