James Chance Interview

[mommyimadeapoopy]

i think he meant to say AFTER '75,not before

[uItravioIet]

I've never seen James with another woman since Anya died. She was a legendary figure in the glam/punk/no wave. Someone should write a book about her.

[klangding]

@uItravioIet He's been with Judy Taylor quite a while, I believe.

[captainfunkaho]

what song is he talking about that he did with august darnell ?

[FrankSax77]

A very generous interview, wonder if an interviewer in LA could get this much candor out of the original Sax Maniac. I want that Terminal City CD! btw, had the honor of being alto player in his horn section for a US mini-tour in 2003.

[averilleX]

A really nice guy. Musically, after spending the last few days listening to Michael Jackson, I do find the band a bit awkward. Wonder if people realise he probably influenced Nick Cave and the Birthday Party, both musically and in appearance?

[grahamlaur]

Of course he is a genius. Not really a man of words, but why should he be?

[troumer]

What year was this interview?

Thanks so much for posting it...

james chance.

so is he really the great and crazy man that everybody says he is?

have just known about this man.

from now on, i think, i'll listen to him

his noise is very incredible :-)

[krissy4nik]

Genious you can dance to. I love it!

[fosterch]

Yeah yeah. You were late 70s test tube babies. Take your pinky out of your ass.

[KarlheinzSchelker]

This guy is amazing! Film noir and James Brown influences combined into one record? I've got to get myself some of that...

[CliffRichardsMustDie]

Contort yourself one time....Genius!

[pariahpete]

I agree with you, CliffRichardsMustDie. He knocked me out and was under appreciated. Contortions made Talking Heads sound like bubblegum music.

[BMayhew60]

I saw him about 5 times in the late 70s or early 80's, mostly in DC. Incredible and very energetic shows, albeit that it takes a special ear. Persaonally, I love it. I have everything he put out on vynyl.

[thepropayne]

where is he from

[thedeadcellist]

nyc (born in wisconsin, i think)

[1amjapan]

Cool. Thanks for that. We all love JC.

[mrzbomb]

God bless you James. Or in lieu of that, I'll bless you.

Glad that you're still out there doing it.
