Paris 1942

Archival release of lost Phoenix, AZ band from 1982. Featuring former Velvet Underground drummer Maureen Tucker and members of Sun City Girls. The group’s foresight to document and capture this meeting of musical minds - a meeting as unlikely as it was short-lived - provides a missing link between the Velvets and the Voidoids, between the Dead Boys and the Dead C, between ESP-Disk’ and DNA. Far more than a historical curiosity, Paris 1942 provides a fresh perspective on an embryonic and sadly vanishing US underground.
