  • Bio

    .... ....             ....Read Martin Bisi's official blog at: ........ Blurt Magazine.... ...... .... .... ...... ....                                ...... Martin Bisi, a New York indie rock performer and record producer has been at a crossroads of indie/punk, avant garde, noire/cabaret rock, and electronic music since the early 80's. In his live performances he combines indie rock songs with theatrical story-telling and unique sound layering that can be ambient and spacious, as well as beautifully chaotic - an '80's New York art-rock original. .... Bisi began his story in the downtown-meets-uptown scene of New York in the late 70's, where hip hop from The Bronx coexisted with avant garde experimentalism, the punk/glam of CBGB's, New Wave art-rock, and aggressive, nihilistic No Wave. In this world Bisi met Brian Eno who helped him start a recording studio in 1981. He has since realized albums by Sonic Youth, Swans, John Zorn, Africa Bambaataa, The Dresden Dolls, Herbie Hancock's Rockit, Boredoms, Helmet, White Zombie, Cop Shoot Cop, Jon Spencer's Boss Hog, Material/Bill Laswell, Foetus, Serena Maneesh and others. ....In his own band, Martin Bisi, uses a revolving group of musicians, and plays guitar and sings.In the last 2 years he has released a full-length album, ....

    Hey Martin,

    actually i am reading the NO WAVE book by Marc Masters where you also occur as producer, a big fun to read...

    By the way i can recommend a great band from Baltimore : PONYTAIL

    they are doing a unique mash-up version of Avant-Post-Pop with no barriers in mind...you find them in my fave list; good luck...

    Keep up the great work; Mmmurphy
