Permafrost b/w Mass Production

Description

THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET is led by the twisted legend of Australian guitar STU-ART GRAY, better known as STU SPASM from LUBRICATED GOAT, CRUNT, SALAMANDER JIM, and THE BEASTS OF BOURBON. Adding a new unleashed chapter to an already solidly sordid musical history, THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET features some of the best rogues from the New York underground scene – SKELETON BOY from WOMAN on two-string double bass, NIKKI D'AGOSTINO on saxophone, and veteran drummer RICH HUTCHINS from LIVE SKULL who brings a wild and driving rhythm. A rotating cast of characters rushes in for the second guitar spot as needed, each showcasing their particular specialty: twang, highs, or atmosphere. Stuart Gray's wandering journey through the hotspots of noise, grunge, and swamp-rock history is well represented in the Quintet's sound – a chaos with a cinematic touch. Sharing the stage with kindred spirits like THE SCIENTISTS and MUDHONEY quickly drew public attention. Their incendiary recordings and performances across the New York scene and beyond soon caught the eye of the infamous LYDIA LUNCH, and it was only a matter of time before a new collaboration was born... Today, THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET faces off with no wave queen LYDIA LUNCH on a new ten-inch single with a double punch... Melting down the MAGAZINE classic "PERMAFROST" and grinding out an apocalyptic version of IGGY POP's "MASS PRODUCTION." Only on IN THE RED RECORDS! "Speaking of noise, this is a bit of Stu Spasm's thing — from LUBRICATED GOAT in the late 1980s to his current project, THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET. This old statesman of tumult hasn't lost his touch." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
