Biography

Psychedelic rock group from San Francisco, formed in 1967, disbanded in 1970 and re-formed in 1995. Combining the sounds of rock with electronic instruments and avant-garde compositional ideas, they are recognized as precursors to bands like [a=Throbbing Gristle]. The original group comprised three core members: founder and bassist Louis "Cork" Marcheschi, guitarist David Blossom, and his wife, vocalist Nancy Blossom, augmented by Kim Kimsey (drums) and Larry Evans (guitar). Marcheschi & Blossom "had been part of the Mills College Tape Music Center and had access to all of the innovations” devised by [a553689], but Marcheschi also built theremins, circuits and audio generators of his own - hence their unique sound. In 1995, Marcheschi reformed the group for live performances in San Francisco, with a new set of musicians. These performances led to the release of the album Live & Unreleased, which was followed in 1997 by a new studio album, Sing Like Scaffold. On the latter album, Fifty Foot Hose essentially comprised Marcheschi, Walter Funk III, Reid Johnston, Lenny Bove, Elizabeth Perry, and Dean Cook. Funk and Johnston subsequently formed the avant-garde electronic band Kwisp, the first of whose two albums also featured Marcheschi.

LYRICS

Red the sign post in the snow
What direction do we go
What is right, what is wrong
There is no sleeping all night long
Gather the patriots, like days of old
Have no regrets, soon the bodies are cold

Red on the left, red on the right
All good is gathering for the fight
Pick a side, don't be wrong
There is no sleeping all night long
Gather the patriots, like days of old
Have no regrets, soon the bodies are cold

Red the color, blood on the wall
All good is gathering for the fall
Shield is heavy, sword is long
There is no sleeping all night long
Gather the patriots, like days of old
Have no regrets, soon the bodies are cold
