An American multi-media band, started and headed by a composer known as DAS. It was started in 1979, when a group of young artists decided to start up a network of households connected through mutual economy and subcultural otherness. From its very inception the line-up was conside- rably irregular (the usual personnel included ROBO, YOUR HOST BOBBY, MINOY, Bruce G. LEE, Rand WEATHERWAX, Ken REYVISION, Drew DOBBS, Tom ANDREWS and Cliff NEIGHBORS). Fascinated with The RESIDENTS, Frank ZAPPA, Dadaism, Surrealism, Luigi RUSSOLO and industrial music, they managed to come up with their own original and unclassifiable body of work, ranging from noise and surreal electroacoustic collages to avant-garde rock and pop music. The bulk of their expansive catalogue consisted of low-run tapes distributed via the international cassette network. They reached a wider audience through regular radio shows, exhibitions of their own paintings and an independent art magazine TRYST. Also, they have gained some acclaim owing to their interesting video art works, which have been presented at many festivals all over the world. One of such compositions was banned from public presentation due to its obscene character. The band have extensively collaborated with both the industrial culture artists (The HATERS, ALLEGORY CHAPEL LTD., CRAWLING WITH TARTS or Hal McGEE) as well as those from outside it, like Daevid ALLEN, The BRAN FLAKES or Brook HINTON.
