Sick weird latest Dwyer tangent!
Dwyer does Bow Wow Wow! WOW!
Chime Oblivion began out of the blue. David Barbarossa reached out to John Dwyer saying he was a fan of Osees and he was invited to a show in London. The two hung out and hit it off, "then I rabbit holed on Bow Wow Wow too…," Dwyer recalls. "I reached out to David and suggested that we try and write some songs together... I flew David out, we met at my studio and spent five days writing basic drums ideas." The two got to know each other and had a lot of laughs.
Dwyer then brought in Weasel Walter, knowing that he would be perfect "to add all that legitimate old-school weird proto-punk no wave guitar scratch to it, which of course he did masterfully." Next came Tom Dolas to play fuzzy marimba, and the fabulous H.L. Nelly, "as I knew her from a record I’d put out back in the day for a band called Naked Lights from Oakland. I knew that she could pull off the vocal style I had in mind."
Together, the group created their debut self-titled album. for Deathgod.
"For fans of Adam & the Ants, Bow Wow Wow, Crass, The Slits, and any other wierdo punk we fell in love with as youths."
