Tape Archive:Lynne Messinger (1980?)

Lynne Messinger

I have very scant information on this and am placing it here in case anybody can add information. I believe that Lynne Messinger was part of the New York arts based music of the late 70′s and early 80′s and I believe she was later lead singer in an all girl group called Unknown Gender which were around the the mid 80′s and she possibly now owns a recording studio and may still be involved in the arts.

This track, whose title I can only assume is Who the hell want’s their picture taken? was due to be included on a forthcoming album to be titled Studio and Gidget go to Soho.

Battles – Atlas

Another track that I heard in the background during a conversation conducted across 12,000 miles was this one and it really was (for both of us) a “who is that?” moment. Call me a freaky geek (not too loudly please) but I am always attracted to anything a teensy weensy bit experimental. When I looked the band details up on wikipedia it was a good start as under genre it said undefined. If they can be assigned any kind of classification at all then at a push they can be accused of a passing alliance to math rock which is, apparently a loose style defined by those using non standard time signatures. The lead vocaliser is the son of a reasonably well known avantgarde Jazz musician. Battles are a US, New York based band and their album Mirrored is out on May 14th.
