"A melting pot of music styles — demented surf, Indian Rāgas, free-form noise, gamelan percussion, fractured folk, you name it — with doses of kabuki theater, shadow puppetry, and maverick guerilla stagecraft thrown in, the avant-everything Sun City Girls were a fiercely independent and experimental trio whose only credo seemed to be to continually stretch boundaries while remaining amazingly inclusive, a process that led to a dizzying array of vinyl, cassette, and CD releases over a period stretching nearly 20 years.
Formed in Phoenix, AZ, Sun City Girls first performed under the name in 1981, and after morphing into the short-lived Paris 1942 (with former The Velvet Underground drummer Maureen Tucker), the group emerged as a trio with brothers Alan Bishop and Sir Richard Bishop and percussionist Charles Gocher in 1982. Sun City Girls released their first album, Sun City Girls, in 1984 on placebo Records, going on to release nearly 30 official albums since then, along with countless limited-edition vinyl, cassette, and CD-R projects, making the group’s discography almost impossible to completely document. Throughout its history Sun City Girls remained a challenging, unpredictable, and eclectic musical unit, operating outside the commercially driven aspirations of the mainstream recording industry, and eventually becoming something of a beacon to independent musicians and artists everywhere. Relocating to Seattle in the early ’90s, Sun City Girls established their own label, Abduction Records, as well as an archival imprint, Sublime Frequencies." LAST.FM
