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



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