Fue uno de los artistas filmados para el documental de la escena No Wave \u201c135 Grand Street New York 1979\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Steve, que en sus comienzos estaba influenciado por Mose Allison, Tom Lehrer, Randy Newman  y por \u201cgente que utilizaba letras ingeniosas en el formato de canciones pop\u201d, escribi\u00f3 en solo dos semanas una serie de canciones \u2013 descritas por alguien como \u201cfolclore neur\u00f3tico de NYC\u201d \u2013 que hablaban sobre la vida en la gran manzana, soledad, ansiedad urbana, los simulacros nucleares de los a\u00f1os 50, yuppies\u2026con t\u00edtulos como \u201cJoven y Ambicioso\u201d, \u201cEl Lamento del Hombre de Negocios\u201d, \u201cBleecker Street\u201d, \u201cGenes Superiores\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<p>La idea inicial era utilizar estas canciones para una especie de proyecto paralelo originalmente concebido como banda sonora para performances art\u00edsticas y no tanto como material para una banda.<\/p>\n<p>Steve grab\u00f3 estas canciones, que formar\u00edan el disco \u201cDomestic Exile\u201d, en los estudios de la ZBS Foundation en Nueva York, con el ingeniero de sonido Bob Bielecki (habitual colaborador de Laurie Anderson y La Monte Young). Steve cant\u00f3, toc\u00f3 la guitarra el\u00e9ctrica, bajo, contrabajo y percusi\u00f3n. Reclut\u00f3 a Evan Lurie (compa\u00f1ero suyo en Lounge Lizards) al teclado Farfisa (el mismo usado en el primer disco del grupo punk-jazz) y al mago de los sintes G. Lindahl.<\/p>\n<p>Aunque en principio el tr\u00edo no ten\u00eda intenci\u00f3n de actuar en vivo, acabaron tocando unas tres veces, incluyendo un concierto ben\u00e9fico en el CBGB. Despu\u00e9s de finalizar la grabaci\u00f3n, Steve hizo escuchar las cintas a varios sellos de Nueva York pero ninguno mostr\u00f3 inter\u00e9s en publicar el disco, a pesar de que una de las canciones \u2013 la pegadiza \u201cI Don\u2019t Want To Join A Cult\u201d \u2013 se convirti\u00f3 en todo un himno underground en Manhattan e incluso Debbie Harry (Blondie) se mostr\u00f3 interesada en hacer una versi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Poco despu\u00e9s, Steve estuvo de visita en Italia y fue all\u00ed donde \u201cDomestic Exile\u201d fue editado finalmente por un sello local, envuelto en una portada similar a la del primer LP de Lounge Lizards (John Lurie tom\u00f3 alguna de las fotos para la portada).<\/p>\n<p>El resultado fue una peque\u00f1a obra maestra minimalista que podr\u00eda ser descrita como una versi\u00f3n lo-fi y casera de \u201cMusic For A New Society\u201d de John Cale. El esqueleto de las canciones consiste b\u00e1sicamente en unos pocos acordes de guitarra con fuzz, \u00f3rgano Farfisa, bajo, piano, sintetizador anal\u00f3gico y la grave voz de Piccolo sonando como un Lou Reed o Leonard Cohen de bolsillo.<\/p>\n<p>Desgraciadamente, la calidad del prensaje original no era muy buena (vinilo barato con clicks\/pops) y el sello original cometi\u00f3 una confusi\u00f3n con el orden \/ t\u00edtulos de un par de canciones en la cara 1.<\/p>\n<p>Estos problemas se han solucionado para esta reedici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSiempre me ha fascinado la gente que vive al margen de la sociedad y la idea de sobrevivir completamente fuera del sistema, sin identidad, documentos, dinero, trabajo, familia\u2026pero no sin amigos, eso ser\u00eda impensable, innecesariamente cruel\u201d \u2013 Steve Piccolo<\/p>\n<p>*Archivar en: art-rock, experimental, post-punk, No Wave\u2026<\/p>\n<p>*Por primera vez reeditado este disco de culto, con sonido cuidadosamente remasterizado por Gak Sato, sonando mejor que el prensaje original.<\/p>\n<p>*Portada de cart\u00f3n grueso + funda exterior resellable.<\/p>\n<p>*Incluye un extenso insert con detalladas notas y comentarios sobre cada canci\u00f3n por Steve Piccolo.<\/p>\n<p>Cup\u00f3n de descarga.<\/p>\n<p>*Recomendado si te gusta: LOU REED, JOHN CALE, VELVET UNDERGROUND, ZAPPA, MODERN LOVERS, LEONARD COHEN, POST-PUNK, NO WAVE, DIY&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist: 1.

LINDAHL.A hidden gem of minimalist beauty, mixing a post-punk\/DIY\/lo-fi aesthetic with art-rock & spoken poetry.Steve Piccolo has been in active since the mid-1970s in music, theater, performance art, sound installations, video and film soundtracks.In 1979 he started with the Lurie brothers the \u201cfake jazz\u201d \/ No Wave band the Lounge Lizards.\u201cDomestic Exile\u201d was recorded one year after the seminal Lounge Lizards debut, at a time when Steve was living a kinda schizophrenic existence: working at Wall Street by day and going to clubs and art spaces almost every evening (he was one of the artists filmed for the No Wave documentary \u201c135 Grand Street New York 1979\u201d).Early on, he was influenced by Mose Allison, Tom Lehrer, Randy Newman and \u201cpeople who put thoughtful witty lyrics onto rather standard pop music\u201d. In just two weeks, Steve wrote the collection of songs which would form \"Domestic Exile\". Somebody described them as \u201cNeurotic City Folklore\u201d - as the lyrics dealt with living in NYC, urban angst, isolation, yuppies, nuclear paranoia\u2026Titles like \u201cYoung and Ambitious\u201d, \u201cModern Man\u201d, \u201cBusinessman's Lament\u201d, \u201cBleecker Street\u201d, \u201cSuperior Genes\u201d\u2026The idea was to use these songs for a sort of \u201cside project\u201d, originally conceived more like a soundtrack for performance art and less like a band.The recording took place at the ZBS Foundation in New York, engineered by Bob Bielecki (a collaborator of Laurie Anderson and La Monte Young). Steve sang, played electric guitar, bass \/ double bass and percussion.
