Teho Teardo

Born after a Teho Teardo’s idea, this project stands as a contribution of noise-area artists willing to be influenced and contaminated by electronic music: an attempt to create a certain mood that will thread its way through the images evoked by each singular track.

The volume features Here, a cooperation between Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop) and Teho Teardo together with Lidya Lunch, American underground’s fundamental character for her activity with New Yorker no-wave seminal band Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, her collaboration with Sonic Youth and also for her ‘frontalist’ writing commitment; we then have Chrome Cranks, one of the most important punk/blues/noise band born after the ashes of Pussy Galore (J. Spencer Blues Explosion, Royal Trux, etc.); their line up includes Bob Bert: Sonic Youth’s early years drummer until ‘Bad Moon Rising’.

The list of artists involved continues with Pigface, Invisible Records guru Martin ‘Ministry/Killing Joke’ Atkins’ experimental band; also coming from Invisible Records team is Jim Coleman’s Phylr with a track that mixes jungle grooves together with dark-underground atmospheres. Teho Teardo appears, apart from yet mentioned Here, with his primal band Meathead (one of the few Italian bands to be truly appreciated abroad after their collaboration with Zeni Geva, Pain Teens and Cop Shoot Cop) and with Homo Vibro: a brand new telectronic project at its first ever debut.
