One of the most interesting posters in my collection. Hand drawn, in marker no less, poster for Suicide, Walter Steding, Fleshtones (mis-spelled Flestones) & The Internationals. The gig was at CBGB, Thursday November 2, 1978 but those letters never made it on there which makes me wonder just how many of these were actually made or if it was just a one off doodle made while trying out different designs? I would love to know! Originally from the archive of Edit DeAk.

The Internationals were basically the band Terminal with the addition of guitarist Frances Rolle. They changed the direction of their sound to a more funk/dance style sound similar to Contortions, though not quite as abrasive.

Another interesting fact to add, Anne Deon actually auditioned to play keyboard for the Contortions back when James was putting the band together. She used Martin Rev's broken red keyboard, the same one Martin used to record the early Suicide stuff. Layers and connections. Anne was also dating Alan Vega at the time.

RIP Edit DeAk, Alan Vega & Walter Steding

June 22nd, 1978 Crass performed with The Ghosts and Terminal at Club 57. Poster possibly designed by Gee Vaucher.

A rare club gig during Crass' only US tour in the summer of 1978. The band opted to play community centers and art spaces for the majority of their NY gigs.

Ghosts were a NY punk band who formed and split in 1978. The band was made up of:

Jahn "Xsessive" Xavier (Blessed, NiteCaps) - Guitar

Peter Jordan (NY Dolls - Kane's backup, Stumblebunny) - Bass

Markey Hayden - Vocals (RIP)

Jeff Miller - Drums (RIP)

Terminal as many of you know, were a NY No Wave band who formed in spring of 1978, and split only a few months later. Terminal with the addition of a guitarist, morphed into the more funk based, Internationals.

Terminal at this time was:

Anne Deon - Vocals, Sax

Johnny Dynell - Bass, Vocals

Sally ? - Keyboard

Stephen Moses - Drums

Re-sharing an older post.

From File Magazine, Vol. 3 Issue No. 4 Fall 1977 Piece on Pre-Terminal band, The Clothes Pins.

As the story goes, the band didn't actually have a name so my guess is they came up with this impromtu name based on the concept for the photo which is the band "hanging out to dry" so to speak. "The Clothes Pins" never made it past the rehearsal stage. Robin Crutchfield joined DNA soon after. Charlie Nash replaced Robin on keyboard, Anne Deon, Johnny Dynell, and Charlie changed the name of the band to Terminal. Johnny X aka John Snyder didn't join Terminal but instead tried his hand at acting. He had small roles in a few films with Crocodile Dundee being the most famous. Local jazz/Ex-Contortions drummer, Stephen Moses joined as Terminal's drummer.

I'm beginning to lay groundwork on a project that may see a potential release. As many of you know, I've made the "Bands At Artists Space" event a major focal point of my research for my No Wave book. The book itself will be more about the bands, with a few key notes on gigs, but this event had a lot of mystery around it. It requires something else.

This project will be a stand alone thing, though is technically connected to the main book in spirit. During my years long work on this, I've managed to track down recordings, or sources of recordings, that feature sets recorded on location during the week long series. These bands include, Communists, Terminal, Gynecologists, Daily Life, DNA, Contortions, Mars, TJ&J

My idea is to do a zine/booklet on the entire event, then release an accompanying flexi disc, 33 1/3 rpm, featuring 4 songs by four bands that didn't manage to record anything and were un-intentionally (or intentionally depending on who's story you believe) left off No New York.

The proposed flexi would feature tracks by Communists, Terminal, Gynecologists, and Daily Life. Of course I still need to discuss licensing with the proper parties, but that's the initial idea. I have Steve @superiorviaduct to thank for the flexi idea. The original plan was to release it as an LP, but tracking down recordings by a couple of the bands proved just too difficult. Also the sound is a bit too lo-fi for an extravagant vinyl release.

Like I said, I still have to talk to the appropriate parties, but is this something people would be into? LMK!

Some ephemera designed by the late Charlie Nash. Charlie was no stranger to the No Wave scene. He had his feet in both the Soho and LES scenes, briefly playing keyboard in the undocumented No Wave band's Terminal, and later his own band, Arsenal.

As shown here, Charlie was an artist and filmmaker before his work as a musician.

Photo 2: Terminal Flyer - Designed by Charlie c.1978

Photos 3-8 are various pieces of work, all designed by Charlie Nash c. 1977 (possibly from an early zine.)

In 1981, Charlie and the rest of Arsenal (final line up comprised of Dave & Dione King) packed up and left NY for San Francisco. Eventually Charlie landed in Michigan where he resided until his death in 2020. A vast catalog of Charlie's past and more recent works can be browsed through at the following site:

Working on the cassette and video archive of Anne Deon, who I'm pleased to be helping get her work digitized and backed up properly. There is a shelf life on these things.

These cassette tapes feature music from Anne's band's Terminal, The Internationals, Cool Tigers and Anne's own solo projects. The videos have Kitchen performances for Dubbed In Glamour, Passion & Pleasure while the others contain Cool Tigers gigs from Danceteria and Peppermint Lounge. All circa late 70's early 80's.

Anne Deon was first involved in NY's underground Art Scene in the mid 70's, later getting involved with the city's vibrant underground music scene. Anne sang and played Sax in the No Wave band Terminal, who she formed with bassist Johnny Dynell in 1978 following her audition as keyboardist for Contortions. Terminal split in late 1978, spawning the more funk based Internationals, who existed a short time in 1979. Later, in 1982 Anne formed a more dance oriented band called The Cool Tigers.

Anne was also Alan Vega's partner from the late 70's through the mid-80's, performing in Alan's band since 1980. Anne was the inspiration behind Alan's song, "Jukebox Babe"

I'm beyond excited see what treasures are found on these! More soon.

Some current Abstracts and NFT designs by artist Anne Deon @anne.deon

Anne was a figure in the downtown NY scene of the late 70's and early 80's. Anne, like many gravitated to NY's guerrilla art community during those explosive and creative years. It wasn't long before art and music collided, placing Anne on stage singing and playing saxophone in the No Wave and art disco bands bands, Terminal, The Internationals, Cool Tigers, and later a regular member of Alan Vega's band during the early to mid 80's. The song "Jukebox Babe" was written by Alan for Anne. Anne moved to LA in the early 90's to pursue her lifelong love of painting. Anne eventually moved to South Florida where she current lives and works as a painter.

You can learn more by checking out Anne's website.

There's some exciting stuff in the works regarding Anne's musical endeavors which I'll discuss more when it's time.

Whoops.....

Found a goof while revisiting the "5000 Artists Return To Artists Space" book (1998, Valerie Smith) during my latest research dive. The book credits this photo as being Communists, when it's actually Terminal who also played that night. An easy mistake. Both bands had female singers and played loud music. This was Tuesday, May 2nd 1978. Each band played two sets.

It looks like they had access to the original negatives or contact sheets when this book was assembled in 1997-1998. As of now, only two actual contact sheets remain (Contortions/DNA), and two Xerox pages with xeroxed copies of contact sheets (Mars/Communists/Terminal)

I wonder where the other originals are??? I would most definitely like to find out!!! Glenda would you happen to have any idea??

Also, this book seems to be the source of the "depending on who you ask" rumor that Eno got the idea for No New York from attending the "Bands" series. According to Mr. Zwack and many others, Eno attended all 5 nights of Bands, which allegedly resulted in the album. However, Mark Cunningham has since revealed that Eno approached Mars about the initial idea a month or two prior after seeing Mars at CBGB Theater. That said, It is highly likely that both the " Bands"series and the X Mag Benefit, which Eno also attended, played at least some kind of role in deciding what bands he would showcase on No New York.

RIP Charlie

The gig was a showcase of local music and performance art that featured Bush Tetras, Ex-Dragon Debs, and one of the first, if not the first female MC, Sha-Rock and her group Funky 4 + 1. Other performers included Patti Astor, Tina L'Hotsky, Nan Goldin, Anne Deon, Anya Phillips, and many more.
