Factrix

I don't know much about this band other than the fact that they're one of the many post-punk/industrial bands out of San Francisco. I listened to quite a bit of Tuxedomoon yesterday and figured I should find something else in the same vane. Factrix taps into the uneasy curiosity of Tuxedomoon for me, and makes me bob my head and keeps me checking behind me in a constant state of paranoia.

Ike Yard - "Cherish"

I stumbled across Ike Yard when I noticed a compilation Acute put out when I worked at the radio station. It instantly grabbed me. Josh definitely turned me onto a million post punk bands I still listen to today, so I figured I'd post a track I enjoy from a band we'd never talked about.

(from discogs.com)
Ike Yard was founded in 1979 in New York. Members are Stuart Argabright, Kenny Compton (bass/vocals), Fred Szymanski (synthesizers/ programming) & Michael Diekmann (guitar). Together they recorded for labels like Disques du Crépuscule and Factory. Ike Yard dissolved at the beginning of 1983. Their only album, 'A Fact A Second' (on Factory in 1982) is still a classic in the minimal genre and stood the test of time very easily.
