Rage Against The Machine Rock Oxygen
Indymedia ireland (Free subscription) | 07/14/2008
Every generation has its political rock band: The Fugs, The Clash…and Rage Against The Machine. RATM formed in Los Angeles in 1991 and released the self-titled debut a year later, one of the definitive CDs of the 90s. The cover featured the image of the “burning monk”, who burned himself to death in 1963: an ultimate image of commitment and protest. The music was a highly potent mix of metal, funk,...

Orange: In the Midst of Chaos
All About Jazz (Free subscription) | 07/03/2008
Jazz and improvised music have long held a certain appeal for fans of underground and outside art. Those who cut their teeth on the Fugs and protest music of the '60s found similar yelps offered among the jewels of the ESP-Disk catalog, and post-riot French students found solidarity (if briefly) with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. The do-it-yourself aesthetic of creative music is an easy thing to latch...

The Fugs documentary
Boing Boing (Free subscription) | 05/15/2008
Jess Hemerly found this fun Swedish TV special from 1968 about proto-punk group The Fugs. The interview segments at the beginning where they are asked to show their personalities in 30 seconds or less are a laugh-riot. The scene pictured here features Ed Sanders poetically commenting on his penchant for "astral perversion." Link to part 1, Link to part 2 Previously on BB: • Fugs are still recording...

Ed Sanders explains how the Fugs ran into censorship problems from mass media and police problems when they started doing music (but were never hassled when just doing poetry prior to that.) This from about ‘65 or so. Something never change, eh? Also has live footage of some of that very same music.

… were The Fugs, maybe the first DIY / protest band ever. (This was recorded sometime in the mid 60’s.) They are still recording and their recent The Fugs Final CD Vol. 1 is maybe their best ever. Seriously. Vol. 2 is coming soon. Website. They had a profound impact on my tender young psyche and I [...]

1970's 'Sanders' Truckstop' and 1972's 'Beer Cans on the Moon' incited and infuriated in their time LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- In the era of the late '60s musical underground, The Fugs were about as underground as a band could be. Unlike L.A.'s Mothers of Invention, the New York-based Fugs recorded for a small indie label (ESP-Disk, home also to Sun Ra and Albert Ayler) and were often deemed too inflammatory...
