  • Actually Chatham not Branca, and labelmates/contemporaries to Sonic Youth but not influenced by them....

  • Que buena banda de rock!!! Poderosos riffs,solos de guitarra esplendidos,Bajo cautivante,profundo ejecutado magistralmente,las voces se acoplan perfectamente al sonido apabullante,LAS GUITARRAS LO VALEN TODO Great,great great ROCK BAND :) LOVE AGENDA it's amazing

  • Is the live footage in this clip from the I-Beam in San Francisco 1989? If so, I was there.

  • Cool! I wish I could get a hold of there stuff! I loved the wire cover they did, on the wire tribute album. That was an amazing song! Ahead it was called, brilliant stuff!

  • @fortyeightdeadguys only Page played with Glenn with any regularity (though I think at least one of the Susans played on Symphony no 13 in London)- most of them were a lot closer to Rhys Chatham and performed with him. Same general influences, from an intellectual standpoint, but specifically from Rhys and not Glenn (Sonic Youth would be the exact opposite).

  • i was hoping that Zwan would do something like this, as far as layering goes, since they had 3 guitarists also...but i guess you can't cover that much ground when your band only exists for 2 years. i wish i had an SC-1...

  • Amazing song, as much a precursor of the post-rock movement of the 1990s as anything of its time. The Susans' music might be heavy and visceral, but its flowing nature reminds me a lot of Roxy's masterwork "The Thrill of it All".

    The short solos, too, add to the song a great deal, whilst the idiosyncratic, "androgynous" character of both Poss and Stenger as vocalists fits the material well but is not likely to appeal to most listeners.

  • so dissonant...great sound. anyone know what distortion pedals were they using?

  • Empire Records - Love Agenda poster everywhere
