The Feederz

'''The Feederz''' were a [[punk rock]] band from [[Arizona]]. They are infamous for their song ''Jesus Entering from the Rear'' which featured on [[Alternative Tentacles]]' [[Let Them Eat Jellybeans]] compilation, and for their provocative album covers. The Feederz have strong [[situationist]] tendencies, and occasionally verge into [[anarchism]]; their songs are highly critical of [[government]], [[consumerism]], and [[religion]].

Lead singer Frank Discussion is known for his [http://www.feederz.com/subvert.html "subvertisements"] or "derailments", an adaption of the situationist tactic of [[detournement]]. Drummer Jayed Scotti was art partners with [[Winston Smith (artist)|Winston Smith]] and created album art for bands such as the [[Dead Kennedys]], [[MDC (band)|MDC]], and [[Crucifucks]].

== History ==
The Feederz were formed in 1977 by Frank Discussion and Clear Bob (Dan Clark). Art Nouveau (John Vivier) later joined the group as their drummer. Before performing publicly, the Feederz issued a press release which the local media mistook as a terrorist communique. At their first show, Frank Discussion caused a panic by firing blanks from an AR-15 assault rifle into the audience. In [[1980]], the band released their first recording, a 4-song EP [[Jesus]].

In [[1982]], Frank Discussion wrote [http://www.feederz.com/bws.html "Bored With School"], a diatribe against school and work posing as an announcement from the Arizona Department of Education, and distributed five thousand copies to local high schools. He fled Arizona to escape arrest for this incident and settled in San Francisco.

In [[1984]], Discussion reformed the Feederz with Mark Roderick and [[D.H. Peligro]], with whom he recorded [[Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss?]]. In [[situationist]] style, the album was covered in sandpaper. In [[1986]], [[Teachers In Space]] was released with Jayed Scotti replacing Peligro on drums. The cover of ''Teachers in Space'' featured a photo of the [[Challenger disaster]].

The Feederz reformed in [[2002]] and released [[Vandalism: Beautiful as a Rock in a Cop's Face]]. They toured throughout [[2003]].

The Long Blondes

'''The Long Blondes''' are a 5-piece [[art-rock]] band from [[Sheffield]] in [[England]]. They have a large underground following, with emphasis on their "glamorous punk" image, as coined by front-woman Kate Jackson. Jackson was featured in [[The Guardian|The Guardian's]] style section and the [[NME]] cool list. When questioned about her place in the cool list by The Guardian, Jackson remarked:

"Probably because they didn't have enough girls. It was so overrun with boring boys, they needed someone to bring a touch of glamour."
{{Infobox_band |
band_name = The Long Blondes|
origin = [[Sheffield]], [[England]] |
music_genre = [[Indie (music)|Indie]], [[Pop music|Pop]], [[Post-punk]] |
}}

==Style==
The Long Blondes' songs reflect a number of influences, including 60's pop, [[The Ramones]], [[Post-punk]] and [[New Wave music|New Wave]]. The prominence of these various influences varies from song to song. Jackson's vocals have been compared to [[Ari Up]] of [[The Slits]] and those of [[The Au Pairs]]. The music features angular guitars and prominent bass guitar lines. However, the band themselves claim somewhat more eclectic influences than their sound suggests, citing [[Burt Bacharach]], [[Holland-Dozier-Holland]], [[Chinn and Chapman]], and [[Stock, Aitken and Waterman]] as influences. The band gained notoriety early on in their career for their bold proclamation "''We do not listen to [[The Beatles]], [[The Rolling Stones]], [[Jimi Hendrix]], [[The Doors]] or [[Bob Dylan]]. We chose an instrument each and learnt to play it.''" This quote was first published on their website, and was seen as a comment on the derivative nature of the contemporary music scene.

On April 13th 2006 they became signed to the Rough Trade record label and are currently in the process of recording their debut album.[http://www.nme.com/news/the-long-blondes/22821]
