	Interview with Robert Poss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		He was in some blues bands early on, and later embraced the punk and post-punk aesthetic in bands like Tot Rocket and Western Eyes.
		Although outnumbered by splendiferous Susans in the band, Robert was the driving force of the guitar-writing, with other cofounder Susan Stenger sharing the singing, songwriting, and the all-over sound and fury of the band.
		Band of Susans developed quite a name for themselves, and put records out on such labels as Blast First, Rough Trade Germany and Restless.

		Listen too close to Band Of Susans' three-pronged guitar attack, with its sky-scraping walls of distortion and feedback repeated through a few simple chords ad infinitum, and their towering white-noise takes on a surreal, fascinating intensity.
		Band Of Susans are the soundtrack for an epileptic fit, a lapse that feels like being seized by divine powers.
		Band Of Susans never loses sight of the passion that underscores the rigorous intellect of their music.

	band bio
		Getting their start on the low-budget amphetamine reptile record label, the band recorded a couple of songs for compilations and the seminal 'born annoying/ rumble' ep, which is now unavailable, before setting to work on their debut album.
		This time around, the band was not held back by poor recording quality as they corrode and blast through with favourites like "in the meantime", "ironhead", "give it", "he feels bad", "fbla" and their first big single, "unsung".
		Rumors about the band spun around in October that an album would be put out, but on the cusp of its release, the band decided to pull the album to re-record, re-produce and re-mix the album.

		Band Of Susans, is an enormously underrated guitar theorist.
		In Band Of Susans formally there are three or four parts that are playing; they're not embellishments on the song, they are fundamental parts of the composition" These are words from an interv iew with Steve Albini published in the Wire.
		Band of Susans really manage to hold my attention for the whole of this cd, and that fact is not that obvious regarding the style of music they play.

		Band of Susans—Page played guitar (well, one of them, anyone) for these folks for a year or two before he formed Helmet.
		He has even gone so far as to say that it was his experience with this group that got him interested in rock again, which eventually led to the formation of Helmet.
		A great band with or without Page, he has been known to pop up at their shows to show his support.

		What later became Band Of Susans started in 1985 as my own solo experiment -- three layered looping delays, a drum machine and a new take on riffing, distortion, controlled feedback and the architecture of rock guitar.
		In 1987, music journalists and colleagues would scratch their heads or roll their eyes when Susan and I mentioned John Cage or Rhys Chatham or Phill Niblock or Christian Wolff.
		In 1989, Leo Fender took Band Of Susans out to lunch; he had our Love Agenda poster on his office wall.

		Formed by avant-garde flautist Susan Stenger and guitarist Robert Poss, Band of Susans was a rock band without the rock clichés….
		The band's name came from the trio of Susans in the group's original line-up: Stenger on bass and Susans Tallman and Lyall on guitars.
		By the time the Susans' 1991 tribute to the E chord - entitled The Word And The Flesh - was released, guitarists Mark Lonergan and Anne Husick had replaced Haglof and Hamilton.

		In 1995 the band made a real impressive record, Here Comes Success, maybe their best so far, and Robert keeps on working in his sideprojects (GilbertPossStenger with Bruce Gilbert from Wire probably was the most known) and he also produces records from bands such as the minimal noise combo Tone.
		It was a success in that we all got along well, and especially in that all of Band Of Susans members were still standing at the end of the night.
		Kim Gordon once referred to us in print as the worst band in the world, and we ve been told that she told everyone she knew at the Village Voice that we weren't worth writing about.

		Their first album and subsequent shows attest to a startling evolution as the band repeatedly reinvented itself.
		Morex Optimo was introduced to Martin Bisi, who had a long history working with some of New York's most influential bands and artists, (among them Brian Eno, Sonic Youth, Bill Laswell), who immediately agreed to help them record their first project.
		With producer Jay Braun (Band of Susans, The Negatones, Kapow, Mooney Suzuki) stepping in with a strong directorial hand, and Yuri departing the band, the band moved into a more focused, direct approach to their material.

		This is a band that, despite numerous personnel changes over the course of its nine-year history, always managed to stay true to its original calling - namely, as that of purveyor of ear-screechingly loud, unadulterated, noncommercialized guitar noise.
		Indeed, the Susans' signature "wall" of densely-layered, intense guitar sound is to be heard throughout the entire discography, from the very first notes of 1987's Blessing and Curse EP all the way through the numerous releases that followed (culminating with 1995's Here Comes Success).

	THE NEGATONES - BIO&PRESS
		Upon hearing the brothers Braun were forming a band, former high school classmate Jun Takeshta (lead guitar, xylophone, electronics) quit the Tokyo avant-pop and metal outfits he was playing in and moved back to New York and thus the best band in the world was born.
		This five-song ep is a pretty swank introduction to the band: not long, but with enough songs to get across their diversity of sound.
		Their experimentation with form and integration of electronic elements are simultaneously courageous and stylish, and they have the instrumental skill to successfully harmonize their prog-rock ambitions with their very infectious sense of humor.

		The band viewed the name as something of an albatross toward the end of the band's career, and Robert has said at least once that if he could go back and begin with a different name, he would.
		Despite the occasional appearance of people recruited to fill holes during tours, the band had only three formal lineups in its nine-year history, and over half of that time (from 1990-1995) was with the final lineup of R obert Poss (guitar), Susan Stenger (bass), Ron Spitzer (drums), Anne Husick (guitar), and Mark Lonergan (guitar).

		Phil Kakulas, the band's bassist and songwriter, was trained as an English teacher and now teaches music at an alternative school.
		Keeping the optimism about their music has been a test for the Blackeyed Susans, as it is for any group with a long history.
		Formed in 1989 as an occasional band, the Susans' original line-up included Kakulas, Snarski, then of Chad's Tree, and guitarist David McComb and drummer Alsy McDonald, both of the Triffids.

		It was his initiative that gave rise to Band of Susans in 1986, and his early experiments became the foundation of their sound.

		But the band is noisy, though it's tighter that most noise bands.
		I know a band in which both guitar players have the exact same setup as me and Peter--and they sound like sloppy folk singers.
		Unfortunately, people's whole identities are tied up with music, and it's such an ego-oriented business that if a band signs to a major label, and there's a lot of hype around them, everyone says they sold out.

	Band of Susans : Now - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The song "Trash Train" is an unusually up-tempo tune for the quintet, and the instrumental rocks pretty hard but is hardly indispensable.
		The band does deliver a solid cover of the Stones' "Paint It Black," taunting fans with what the band might have been able to accomplish with material of equal emotional weight.
		The guitar builds intensity throughout the song, gathering substantial steam, but bassist Susan Stenger's throaty vocals cannot do justice to the song, and the instrumental version suffers from the absence of Jagger's haunting lyrics.

		Leading protagonists of the discordant post-punk revolution of the early '80's were either acquiescent (Swans, Band of Susans), rocking out (Rollins, Sonic Youth) or in danger reaching a creative dead-end (Butthole Surfers).
		Band of Susans create brutal minimalist mantras, linear soundscapes reliant not only on notes played but also on unexpected dissonant vibrations born out of the whole.
		The instrumentals are perhaps most intriguing, where textual shifts and colliding riffs are at their most raw and exposed ("Guitar Trio" and "Elliott Abrams in Hells" are excellent).

		Jay's younger brother Justin (bass, vox) found himself dragged throughout what would have otherwise been a peaceful suburban adolecence into various noise and surf outfits in the city, regularly gigging before he was old enough to buy drinks.
		Upon Jay's return from two tours filling in on bass in MOONEY SUZUKI, and guitar in the legendary art-rock combo BAND OF SUSANS' final U.S. and European tours, he and Justin got cracking on a band of their own.
		Only when he learned that Jay and Justin were forming a band back in the states did he return to New York and thus the best band in the world was born.

		After 1989's Love Agenda, Hamilton too left the group to found Helmet; he was replaced by Mark Lonergan, and following Haglof's exit, Anne Husick stepped in for 1991's The Word and the Flesh, which employed a more focused attack, typified by a lesser emphasis on reverb and feedback, to arrive at a more accessible sound.
		Without the usual attendant line-up changes, Band of Susans issued 1993's dense, droning Veil, followed two years later by Here Comes Success, a uniformly strong collection of lengthy pieces including the instrumental "In the Eye of the Beholder (Song for Rhys)," a tribute to Poss' mentor.
		In mid-1996, Band of Susans dissolved, although Stenger and Poss continued working with Wire's Bruce Gilbert in the trio GilbertPossStenger in addition to mounting other projects.
