Following the one time reunion of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks (of which James was a founding member) at the Knitting Factory earlier in June and in timing with this year's 30th Anniversary of the seminal album NO NEW YORK (the band's first recorded appearance) the charismatic band will perform its original classics as well as tracks being recorded for an upcoming new release. All of this comes hot on the heels of the resurgence of the No Wave movement with new books by Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore/Byron Coley and rock writer Marc Masters.
James Chance would like to dedicate this performance to guitarist Jerry Agony who died on July 29th.
Jerry performed with James White + Blacks and The Contortions from 1981 - 1997.
IN RELATED NO-WAVE NEWS:
Thurston Moore/Byron Coley are performing a reading from their recent book, “No Wave: Post-Punk. Underground. New York 1975-1980.” at 192 Books on Sat 9/12 at 7pm!
