ESG -Be Good To Me

ESG—four Scroggins sisters plus various percussionists—formed in the South Bronx in the late 70s, and went from covering the Stones and Rufus to recording for Tony Wilsons Factory Records label. The bands uniquely minimalist funk/post-punk sound soon caught on in clubs and dance palaces like the Paradise Garage. Decades later, songs such as Moody and UFO still resonate, partly because theyve been sampled hundreds of times. Alas, ESG, which reformed in the 90s, has announced its Estrojam show will be its last. We spoke to founder Renee Scroggins for the final word.
