YU - Black Wire

YU is C.U.Squirm, Rod Miles and Bentley Shaft. Gajoob Review: "Diverse arrangements that twist and turn in an endlessly playful, yet rather biting fashion. Spoken/sung vocals top an often hyperactive backdrop/foredrop of tight synth structures that never rest in any one place for long. 5 stars ..."

OPTION Magazine Review Dec. 1985: This band shows a sophisticated flair for bizarro transmutations of rock styles that seem to range from Zappa to the Residents and beyond. ... It's just one of the best tapes I've heard in a long time, and I've heard dozens.

What video does the clip with the fake noses and ears come from?

[WeAreYU]

Cutting room floor material. That is Bentley Shaft's one and only appearance in YU videos.

love the drumulator on this one

[WeAreYU]

You have great ears! The Emu Drumulator was one of my favorite drum machines. I even owned the Latin e-prom chip. You had to open the machine and swap out the chip to get the Latin drum sounds. At the time it was probably the most realistic sounding drum machine available.
