PERFORMANCE DATE:Westfalenhalle,Dortmund,Germany 9th December,1978.
Wayne County and the Electric Chairs was one of the most vibrant,startling acts playing the gig circuit through punk's peak years of 1977-78, bringing a touch of authentic New York street life to European stages.
Wayne(now Jayne County) is one rock's most fearless pioneers,having emerged from the downtown NYC Warhol scene to display this then little seen side of the city's underground to the masses with her biting social comments and ribald statements such as 'If You Don't Want To Fuck Me, Fuck Off'.
The Electric Chairs' Rockpalast performance captured this seminal, often overlooked artist at her confrontational peak, backed by her sympathetic, supercharged band. |
