Four Steps Toward a Cultural Revolution

Description

Product Description Beakers were a hack fit of four art-bashing funk wave arbiters who skronked into action January 1980 and expired in January 1981. In between, they toured up and down the West Coast, released a 7" single & songs on two compilations, played shows with Delta 5 & Gang Of Four and recorded several times. The majority of the 17 songs on Four Steps Toward A Cultural Revolution have never been released before; the handful that were once available are now long out of print. The four Beakers – George Romansic (drums), Mark H. Smith (guitar, vocals), Jim Anderson (sax, vocals) and Frankie Sundsten (bass) – were an abrupt, powerful force on the Seattle musical scene, who through the force of their personalities and charmingly abrasive music made that town quake, dance and smile. Review "'Red Towel' takes at least two listens to come through, then kicks in hard..." -- NME"...Their crude, faintly abrasive sound...set the audience moving frantically." -- Damage
