MX-80
MX-80 (also known as MX-80 Sound) is an eclectic art-metal-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, Indiana by guitarist Bruce Anderson. Considered “one of the most out of step but prescient bands of its time,〔Ned Raggett, http://www.allmusic.com/album/hard-attack--big-hits-r271306, ''All Music Guide'' review of ''Big Hits/Hard Attack'' compilation.〕" MX-80’s signature sound consisted of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals. Notoriously difficult to categorize—the band has been labeled noise rock,〔Robert Payes/David Sprague/Delvin Neugebauer, http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=mx-80_sound, ''Trouser Press'', MX-80〕 post-punk,〔http://www.last.fm/music/MX-80+Sound, Last FM, MX-80 Sound〕 acid punk,〔http://reign-in-sound.blogspot.com/2010/08/mx-80-sound-big-hits-hard-attack.html, Reign in Sound〕 and heavy-metal〔http://www.listsofbests.com/list/33406-stairway-to-hell-the-500-best-heavy-metal-albums, “Three MX-80 albums are included in Chuck Eddy’s 1990 book, ''Stairway to Hell: The 500 Best Heavy Metal Albums''〕—MX-80’s sonic melange set the stage for bands such as Swans, Sonic Youth,〔Lawrence, http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/review/1308," ''Out of Control'' compilation review.〕 Codeine, and Shellac.
==Early years==
Originally named MX-80 Sound, MX-80 was formed in 1974 by Bruce Anderson (guitar) and Dale Sophiea (bass). Sophiea and Anderson, former members of Bloomington’s Screaming Gypsy Bandits, shared an interest in modern classical composers as well as in avant rockers like Captain Beefheart and the Hampton Grease Band. They soon added two drummers, Jeff Armour, and Kevin Teare in 1975, and the quartet contributed the instrumental composition, ''Spoonfight'', to ''Bloomington I'' (Bar-B-Q records 1976). Rich Stim (vocals, guitar, and sax) and Dave Mahoney (drums), both formerly of Chinaboise, joined MX-80 in 1976 and Teare left the band to pursue a full-time art career. Anderson and Stim emerged as the band's primary songwriters, with occasional lyric writing by Andrea Ross (''aka'' Angel Corpus Christi).
Unable to obtain gigs in most local music venues, MX-80 performed a regular series of Sunday concerts at the Monroe County public library (tracks of which were later compiled on CD〔Live at the Library (Gulcher Records 2002).〕). The band’s first studio release was the EP, ''Big Hits: Hard Pop From The Hoosiers'' (Bar-B-Q Records 1976), recorded at Gilfoy Studios, produced by Mark Bingham and engineered by Mark Hood. A review of ''Big Hits'' in the British music magazine ''Sounds'' by Caroline Coon, spurred Island Records A&R man Howard Thompson to license the band’s second recording,〔Howard Thompson, http://northforksound.blogspot.com/2008/12/mx-80-sound.html, North Fork Sound, MX-80〕 their debut LP, ''Hard Attack'' (1977).
