From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sharon Cheslow is an American musician, composer and artist. She formed Chalk Circle, Washington, D.C.'s first all-female punk band. She was also in Bloody Mannequin Orchestra, Suture (with Dug E. Bird of Beefeater and Kathleen Hanna), Red Eye (with Tim Green of Nation of Ulysses), The Electrolettes (with Julianna Bright), and a one-off project with Fugazi's Joe Lally. With Cynthia Connolly and Leslie Clague, she compiled the seminal photographic punk history book "Banned In DC" in 1988.
Her recent sound explorations are documented on her CD, "Lullabye from the Sky", released on Decomposition under the name Sharon Cheslow and Coterie Exchange. The project is the audio component from sound installations she has been performing. Her videos to the tracks "Dream/Construct" and "September Son" are on two Kill Rock Stars video compilations.
She is a contributor to Thurston Moore's book "Mix Tape: The Art of Cassette Culture".
