"Sprung from the downtown No Wave scene, Ut (Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young) originated in New York City in December 1978. The band were joined briefly by filmmaker Karen Achenbach in 1979 before resuming as a three-piece and migrating to London in 1981."
Here they made two albums at Cold Storage, recorded by Charles Bullen and Tim Hodgkinson. They toured with the Fall and The Birthday Party, were admired by John Peel, recorded with Albini in '89, frequently name-dropped by Sonic Youth...prettttttty, pretty cool gals.

Ecstatic to finally have Zad over Strasbourg to Bristol after absolutely rinsing the latest album 'Les 3 Gueules Au Matin Du Monde' all year long.
Blown-out electro and hip-hop drum machine patterns collide against sinewy, contorted guitar scralp, with vocalisations flipping between non-nonchalant drawl and pained yelp. The perfect soundtrack to that imaginary no-wave rave you've always wanted to go to.
