Bush Tetras is an all girl band from the 80's that could be put in the New York No Wave section at your indie record store, but it's a little too melodic and funkified to live there comfortably. The lack of classification may explain the overlooked nature of this band. Boom in the Night is reissue of their original recordings made between 1980-1983 and is, in my opinion, the best collection of their work. Only a handful of EPs were released on independent labels in the 80's, but they seemed to disappear until their reformation in 1995. I recently came across the band via a comment made by Thurston Moore on New York Noise and I have been listening nonstop for the past couple of weeks. If I could coin a new term, I would call it Funk-Punk. Taking super stripped down punk to its most minimal and adding groove-saturated bass lines and cutting guitars. Kinda like early The Liars if they were all girls and heavily into Tim Burton.
