David Wojnarowicz and Doug Bressler - American Dreamtime
from Tellus: The Audio Cassette Magazine
Wojnarowicz and Bressler's other audio offerings are detailed at The End of Being in Viral Witnessing by Samantha Anne Scott.
"In the musical vein, Wojnarowicz comprised one-fifth of 3 Teens Kill 4, which was three-fifths gay. The other members of 3 Teens Kill 4 were Doug Bressler, Brian Butterick, Julie Hair and Jesse Hultberg. The band’s name was snatched from a New York Post headline. While 3TK4′s No Motive is frequently compared to Brian Eno and David Byrne’s collaboration, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, their sound is as different from that album as it is similar. Whereas Byrne’s affinity for world music rose to the surface on My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, 3TK4′s sound is pure postmodern America. In a 1984 review of a 3TK4 show at The Pyramid, Christine Cassidy described the 3TK4 sound: “Sirens, rat-a-tat-tat, clashing cymbal, whistles, a robotic voice: ‘this is 3 Teens Kill Four.’ The noise is hypnotic, even frightening, like being in a Keystone Kops film during an air raid”."
Track 13, described as follows, includes some of the same players and the audio is also available on youtube.
