Throwback to February 1979 with James White & The Blacks

James Chance related items of interest

Its been a little while since we've posted anything, so here's a little something to tide you over - two items relating to James & No Wave that may interest you:

- First up, our friends Pat & Emily from Nightclubbing have a new column up this week at Bedford & Bowery featuring footage of DNA shot at the Mudd Club in 1979. See that here.

- Secondly, Marc Miller over at 98 Bowery just launched an online exhibition of No Wave film related photos & ephemera. See it here. This includes the above poster, plus a photo of Anya Phillips (from Amos Poe's The Foreigner) we've never seen before, and other items of interest.

Here's a rare bit of history - an actual ticket stub from the M-80 Festival held in Minneapolis in September 1979 where the Contortions appeared. We've posted video footage of this before.
