Description
Futurismo is thrilled to present a long - lost musical masterpiece, the never - before - released album 'Sleepwalking Through Life' by New York's Strange Party. In 1980 New York's downtown clubs, this group of talented and eccentric artists and musicians, led by musical cohort and legend Klaus Nomi, created a latin - infused new wave performance art - pop show that the Soho press hailed as 'the best party band in New York'. 'Sleepwalking Through Life' captures a time in New York when art, music, fashion, and club life blended seamlessly. Dubbed Dada disco, Strange Party's charm came not only from the skills of its musicians but also from its unique visual themes. Each show was centered around a wild concept, turning art into a fun rock 'n' roll experience. The band's unique membership included stars like Joey Arias, Tony Frere, and George Elliott. Pulling from jazz, funk, disco, latino, and punk, their influence is clearly heard in contemporary music, like Talking Heads. Their blend of musicianship, vocals, theatrics, style, and wit made them a hit in both clubs and restaurants. 'Sleepwalking Through Life' is a rare and relevant gem, as captivating now as it was over 40 years ago.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is in good working condition. Place the LP gently on the turntable, and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the record at the starting groove. Listen carefully and let the music of Strange Party transport you to the 1980s New York club scene. When handling the LP, always hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. After each use, return the LP to its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, and keep it upright to prevent warping. If you notice any dirt on the record, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove it. Enjoy this piece of musical history!
