Here are two tape rips sent to me by the great Tony Coulter. A long time coming, these. I have posted this group on here in the past, probably half a decade ago on one of the Outward Inward comps, but here they are in full swing. Bizarro indie with improvisational folk inclinations. A good comparison would be the vastly underrated Flying Nun outfit Marie & the Atom, of which I'm hoping to see a reissue campaign come to light sometime soon.
These two rips were split by myself, going by whatever the submitter at Discogs thought the track listings were. It's all so weirdly structured that you cannot be too sure of where one song ends and another interlude begins and vice versa. In any case, these are buried gems in the junkyard (in a good way!) of the 80s cassette underground.
I fell in love with Nancy first time I saw her when she visited my roommate with her then husband Greg, the other half of The Dave. Their concerts in SF back in the mid 80s were some of the most memorable musical experiences of my life: you cannot imagine what a revelation they were playing live. There are at least three more Dave cassettes if you can find them, 13 issues of Nancy's magazine with lots of contributions from people in the 80s SF music scene, and Nancy has made a series of films with preschoolers and animation artists during the last decade. My favorite poet-singer-cellist ever.
