Portable Madness

Here’s the 2nd LP by Mizutama Shobodan (Polka Dot Fire Brigade) on the Kinniku-bijo label, out of Japan in 1985. Featured on the groundbreaking compilation Welcome to Dreamland, the five-woman band was fronted by the dynamic Japanese singer Tenko. She later went on to work with Fred Frith, David Moss, Ikue Mori and other such improvisors.

This is a truly strong jazzpunk record of the time, full of noise and energy.
