I used to see her at small venues in SF a couple years before she released any recordings. I once saw her perform a rock set with Henry Kaiser on guitar, and The Stench brothers who were at the time in Pearl Harbour and the Explosions, an early "new wave" band. Their set sounded a bit like the first Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band album... intense banshee wailing set to driving rock beat.Tom_Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296257132363917500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-36016327609538521122014-08-08T16:54:44.680-07:002014-08-08T16:54:44.680-07:00Great, thanks DJ - now I can make my own!

They had a couple turntables and played records they had broken and then glued back together, set records on fire while they were playing, and generally created a storm of noise. On the same bill was Phillip Galas, Diamanda's brother reciting a monologue to a high heeled shoe channelling Jack Smith. Then to round out the evening was solo guitar noise by Henry Kaiser, who I remember remarking about to a friend, "What the hell is he doing setting up $40,00. worth of gear at a dive like Club Foot.Tom_Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296257132363917500noreply@blogger.com
