All Danced Out (Viol d'Ghumbas)

from Raw Sewage, Vol. 2 (1983) by Walls Of Genius

about

Ed produced a keyboard device called a “King Casio”. It was a keyboard with some synth capacity and a primitive drum machine in it. On this track, it provides a drum track while Evan plays a bass line on the keyboard. Ed’s lead guitar is very nice on this. We kind of thought of this as “new wave-y” dance music at the time, hence the title given to it after-the-fact. There were a number of bands that had utilized drum machines for dance drones, most notably the B-52s and the Talking Heads. So this might have been on our minds as this scene was getting really big about this time.

Andrea DiNapoli is credited on these K-9 tracks with flute, violin and percussion. I don’t doubt that she did these things, but I don’t hear it. Percussion, of course, could be any of us, so it’s hard to identify. But I really don’t notice much of any flute or violin. It may be that she stayed way in the background because she was uncomfortable musically in the situation, but I am only speculating there. Many times, when you don’t hear a musician, it’s because that musician doesn’t want to be heard.

This originally appeared on the cassette release "The Many Faces Of Mr. Morocco" and was credited to the faux band K-9.

The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
