Bush Tetras : Too Many Creeps
The single that summed up NYC's Lower East Side circa 1980, according to critic Robert Christgau, Bush Tetras's "Too Many Creeps sold about 30,000 copies and came in #18 on the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Critic's Poll. The band, made up of Contortions' founding guitarist Pat Place and vocalist Cynthia Sley, specialized in paranoid, groove-centered post punk. Sley's deadpan vocals and Place's slashing guitar clearly inspired Sonic Youth, whose "Kool Thing" even had Kim Gordon repeating the phrase "I Don't Wanna".
