EYE04 Missing Foundation 1933 CD Originally released in 1988, and heralding the troubling formulation "1988=1933", MF's monumental 1933 stands as one of New York City's most controversial and infamous records. An agit-prop collective of Lower East Side musicians, artists, and political agitators unleash a violent barrage of noise worthy of standing alongside the most canonical industrial acts, whose intense live shows, elusive records, and extensive graffiti campaign which disseminated a hostile, forewarning, and almost iconic band logo, encountered a violent onslaught of counter-insurgence in the form of police raids, FBI stalking, and even a slanderous, three part investigative report on prime time news. Find out what "they" were so afraid of... The CD re-issue
of 1933 includes rare live Missing Foundation tracks, a portion of Pete
Missing's 2002 release "Nature Revolt" and a bonus DVD including
rare MF videos, never before seen live & practice footage, and Pete
Missing's personal response to CBS News' 1988 report "Cult of Rage". |
Missing
Foundation
came from the Lower East Side of New York City, but was founded by Pete
Missing in Hamburg in 1984. This line up contained two members of KMFDFM
and Florian Langmaack. Three drummers were added and an early performance
at the KIR ended in damage to the speaker system. Soon the band disbanded
and Pete moved back to the Lower East Side. The band was reformed with
Chris Egan, Pete Missing, Mark Ashwill and VKP. Though misunderstood from
day one, and in spite of numerous obstacles and struggles, the band nevertheless
managed to change the sound waves of New York. The band finally broke
the space between industrial music and rock 'n roll when they burned the
stage at CBGB's, the rock 'n roll capital. Bands like Sonic Youth and
the Swans ran for their lives from a sound that was ahead of its time
and will probably outlast all underground status in the tests of time. |
