Paris 1942

Before the “Tea Party-gate,” before twee-immortalizations by way of “quirky” millennial movie soundtracks, before playing with The Kropotkins, and before The Velvet Underground reunion in the 90s, Moe Tucker joined up with Alan and Richard Bishop of Sun City Girls, as well as fellow AZ collaborators David Oliphant, Bennie Baresi, and Jesse Akkari, and made an album as Paris 1942. It’s an amazing mixture of early Sun City Girls-experimentalism, Velvet-inspired bashing, and howling, immediacy captured by way of equipment prone to tape hiss, as well as a living illustration of the link between the two generations. From this band, Sun City Girls would form, and the evolution seems as much obvious as it does brilliant, like one of those moments when you predict the end of a film and still find yourself totally immersed.
