Harry Crews (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harry Crews was a short-lived hardcore / Thrash / No Wave band made up of Lydia Lunch (guitar), Kim Gordon (bass) and Sadie Mae (drums). Their one album, Naked In Garden Hills, was a compilation of live recordings at clubs in London, UK and Austria. The album was named after a novel by the author Harry Crews,[1] and songs such as Car, The Knockout Artist and The Gospel Singer were also named after Crews' novels. The song Bringing Me Down is introduced as a song about a snake festival, a subject Crews wrote about in the novel A Feast Of Snakes. The band also performed Sonic Youth's She's In A Bad Mood and Teenage Jesus & the Jerks' Orphans.[2]
