Simply Saucer to the Shangs

In 1990, former "proto" Simply Saucer member, David Byers joined up with songwriter/guitarist Ed O'Neill forming The Shangs. Obscure but critically lauded (one of the best 100 bands never mentioned in Spin- Spin Magazine),their first release was a gushing hymn to the revered all-girl band, the Feminine Complex (91) while its successor an ode to tragic beauties such as Nico, Gloria Hudson et al. Augmented by percussionist, Nelson Smith, the footage is from a local cable-access performance of which the original audio couldn't be saved. The number "Johnny Guitar" is from the second longform CD,"Longet". Look for a new release in 2007.....
