God damn it. Missed him when he came through San Diego in 2017 - knew I'd regret it. What a legend! Goes to show, if you're a fan of 70s/80s music, you can't afford to miss performers like this when they roll through town... #skronk #jameschance #giftlink https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/20/arts/music/james-chance-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1U0.muy8.HRH6AoE_bRUB&smid=url-share

In tribute to #JamesChance, #MojoMagazine have reprinted @andr6wmale’s 2017 No Wave feature on their website. As well as James, he also spoke with #ArtoLindsay, #JohnLurie, #MarkCunningham, #LydiaLunch, #PatPlace, #AdeleBertei, #NinaCamp, and more. Dig in! https://www.mojo4music.com/articles/stories/james-chance-remembered/

Reading about the death of #JamesChance I went looking for what I recalled as a good article in #ZG magazine focussing on his lyrics, sometimes around 1981.
After rummaging through piles of ZG and other magazines of the time (Emergency etc), I found my copy, with the article / interview by Alan Joyce.
What a lot of magazine articles of that pre-net time remain inaccessible.

RIP James Chance #Contortions #JamesChance #NoWave #SaxManiac

Just heard about the passing of legendary #NoNewYork scenester scronk jazz pioneer sax frontman of James White and the Blacks aka #JamesChance and the #Contortions. They laid down an angular blend odd of skittish post punk rock jazz influenced by James Brown , Miles & Coltrane. I got some decent audio / video of his 2017 West Coast farewell tour show at the Knockout in SF

Und auch wenn er jetzt das Saxophon gegen eine Engelsharfe tauschen muss - ich bin mir sicher, die Musik ist immer noch großartig! https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jun/19/james-chance-new-york-no-wave-dies-singer-saxophonist

Bei einem Defunkt-Konzert vor einigen Jahren kaufte ich mir die Single "Allergy for the U.S." der Zusammenarbeit "Defunkt feat. James White & Sax Pistols", wahrscheinlich gerade wegen der Beteiligung von James White. Der Preis und vielleicht ein Bier zuviel haben mich an dem Abend übersehen lassen, dass es sich dabei nicht um ein Album, sondern um eine Single handelt. Am 18. Juni ist der Musiker James Chance aka James White gestorben. #RIP #JamesWhite #JamesChance #NoWave
