Williamsburg hipsters, eat your hearts out — this spike-grooved trio was kickin' it before you were born
-
We Say...
This three-girl/one-guy aggregate harnessed irresistible grooves, rhythmic focus (the inimitable drummer Dee Pop), twisted guitar noise (Pat Place, formerly of the Contortions) and a sweaty sexuality (frontwoman Cynthia Sley) that makes them worthy of the same kind of deification that has been rightfully given to their British soul-sisters the Slits. Much of the underground stuff unloved hipsters are currently singing the praises of (Die Monitr Batss, Veronica Lip Gloss, et al.) can be traced back to the Tetras' bold aesthetic conception.

They Say...
Subtitled "Original Studio Recordings 1980-1983," Boom in the Night was a CD reissue of the 1989 cassette compilation Better Late Than Never, though it omitted one track, the demo "Makin' a Mistake," and resequenced the remaining 14 tracks. The Bush Tetras made a couple of independent label EPs and a single in New York in the early '80s, and then disappeared. The music was simple and relentless, as were the chanted messages of songs such as the seminal "Too Many Creeps." This was punk minimalism down to the point of amateurishness, but no less compelling because of it. The album, which contained the same liner notes as the earlier one, apparently was released to herald the April 1995 reformation of the Bush Tetras.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
