Punk’s blast might have faded but its impact didn't. By 1978, a new guard was taking over, one that was meshing together exciting sounds and influences and creating exhilarating music for the open minded, for the outsiders and for the curious. The Bush Tetras have taken their own place in history and it's kinda fitting that they formed and created their art in NYC. They sounded and looked fantastic then and they sound and look fantastic now. They fused soul, dub, funk and dance with stabbing, biting, sliding guitars, pulsating drum and bass grooves and the wonderfully poetic, unflappable vocals of the fantastic Cynthia Sley.
The Bush Tetras are timeless.
Cynthia talks about strong, lasting friendships, strong communities, being and outsider, urban environments that nurture the idea of "all creativity is important", learnings from being a teacher and - here's the all important one - not giving a fuck about what people think.
It's a brilliant convo with a legend who has pushed so many creative boundaries and opened doors for so many others.
