Sun City Girls - Debut LP - 1984 - Placebo Records - Very Rare!
They may not be girls, but this elusive trio does hail from Sun City, Arizona. (It's a bit northwest of Phoenix.) From raga-rock to saxophone squawk, the fractious pieces on their hallucinatory debut album convene into coherent groupings beneath Alan Bishop's avant-political rantings. From utterly riveting to impossibly muddled, the seventeen sketchy tracks include "Uncle Jim" (a ranting monologue with jazz guitar and sax); "My Painted Tomb" (a raga with toy piano), the impressive "Your Bible Set off My Smoke Alarm" and "Metaphors in a Mixmaster" (presents free-form guitar improvisation). Bewildering, aggravating and intriguing, Sun City Girls is an imposing bow.
From those (semi) humble beginnings, the Sun City Girls propelled itself, cartoon character style, against the furthest reaches of world music. Employing both real experience (members have spent a good deal of time in Southeast Asia, going so far as to gig on a cruise ship in Indonesia) and pharmaceutically aided astral projection, they've staked out a singular patch of polluted ozone, all the better to rain down interstellar transmissions on the earthbound multitudes. And like other extraterrestrial phenomena, their messages arrive in random sequence, often many years after they were sent.
Hardly ever played.
