Product Description Beakers were a hack fit of four art-bashing funk wave arbiters who skronked into action January 1980 and expired in January 1981. In between, they toured up and down the West Coast, released a 7" single & songs on two compilations, played shows with Delta 5 & Gang Of Four and recorded several times. The majority of the 17 songs on Four Steps Toward A Cultural Revolution have never been released before; the handful that were once available are now long out of print. The four Beakers – George Romansic (drums), Mark H. Smith (guitar, vocals), Jim Anderson (sax, vocals) and Frankie Sundsten (bass) – were an abrupt, powerful force on the Seattle musical scene, who through the force of their personalities and charmingly abrasive music made that town quake, dance and smile. Review "'Red Towel' takes at least two listens to come through, then kicks in hard..." -- NME"...Their crude, faintly abrasive sound...set the audience moving frantically." -- Damage

Reminds me of a KJET sponsored post punk music festival ...
Reminds me of a KJET sponsored post punk music festival at the Paramount Theater in Seattle in the early 1980s, when hardcore was over and punk was passe and everybody wanted to be funk noise communists over at the UW. Reminds me a little of Red Dress, too, but less funky.
