In 1980, Wojnarowicz, then in his mid-20s, worked as a busboy in Danceteria on West 37th street – a Downtown four-storey nightclub later immortalised by Madonna in her 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan. During his stint at the club, Wojnarowicz formed a band with a few of his Danceteria colleagues, taking the name 3 Teens Kill 4 from the poet Max Blagg, who reappropriated the menacing phrase from one of the New York Times’s gratuitous, sensational headlines. Emerging from the post-punk scene, 3 Teens Kill 4 epitomised the ethos and sound of pre-gentrification New York City in an era of high street crime, a noisescape beautifully characterised by Carlo McCormick in Artforum as: “too slippery for language and better conveyed in the furtive, desperate gestures of absurd and random sonic violence.” Along with Wojnarowicz, the band were made up of Brian Butterick, Jesse Hultberg, Doug Bressler, and Julie Hair (later to be joined by William Gerstel in 1984). From the start, they eschewed the traditional lead singer-centric line-up for a multi-vocalist arrangement which also incorporated live spoken word and various found noises and audio captured with a tape recorder, and their sound evolved rapidly into a composite horrorshow encapsulating the ambience of the city from which it came. At odds with the guitar bands of the post-punk scene, 3TK4’s sound was more defiantly experimental and low tech than most of their contemporaries. Instead, they seem to synthesise the singular style of Talking Heads with a more nightmarish, discordant Suicide. Relying predominantly on a Korg rhythm machine and a Casio drum accompanied by Hultberg’s desolate bass sounds, the band’s performances involved passing various instruments, toys, tape recorders, a microphone sewed into a glove, and, mysteriously, a can of Baked Beans being passed between band members on stage. Wojnarowicz often played toy instruments, not just as a punk rejection of virtuosity and a nod to the DIY zeitgeist, but also because he’d never learned to play anything. @dazed」9月21日 5時01分
