Another "Virus Squat*" capo a few years from their only release...
"Maso Yamazaki is a Japanese noise musician. He started Masonna in 1987, creating the name by combining the words Maso (Masochist) and Onna (Woman). It is also a pun on Madonna's name. Sometimes it is rendered as an acronym spelling 'Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé', or 'Mystic Another Selection Of Nurses Naked Anthology'. Maso became interested in noise when he heard sounds of destruction on television as a child, but his first exposure to noise as a genre was Hanatarash's debut LP, and 'LSD' by Tokyo's 'Nord' (mistaking it for the Japanese punk band L.S.D.). Two more years would pass before he started to produce and develop his own unique style. He is infamous for wild live performances which usually consist of damaging his equipment, jumping around madly, and sometimes getting injured. He has given entire concerts which lasted only a few seconds."
"Scotland's Stretchheads were formed in 1987 by Andy Maconald (guitar) and Phil Eaglesham (vocals), with Steven MacDougall and Richie Dempsey joining on bass and drums. The band wore asbestos firewear, gas masks, flashy shirts, and balaclavas on stage, and blossomed after support slots with Happy Mondays, The Wonderstuff and The Shamen. Their debut album 'Five Fingers, Four Thingers, a Thumb, a Facelift, and a New Identity' followed in 1988. Touring Europe with Holland's 'Revenge Of The Carrots' and old colleagues 'Dog Faced Hermans', the group split up in 1992, but not before recording a session for John Peel."
