ARTIST INFO:

The Sun City Girls began as one of the humblest and most underground acts of Arizona, and one decade later had become one of the most pretentious and prolific acts in the world. Their releases of the early 1980s were limited-edition cassettes. The first records, such as Grotto Of Miracles (1986) and Torch Of The Mystics (1990), were still amateurish, but began to develop the concept of a cosmic psychedelic hard-jazz-rock fusion. Later releases featured more professional performances but were mostly improvised and not edited, thus making an art out of self-indulgence and filler, as proven by the sprawling jams Ghost Ghat Trespass (1996) and Cameo Demons (2000).

American experimental rock band founded in 1981 in Phoenix, Arizona. They relocated to Seattle in 1993 where they would spend the rest of their career. The band officially disbanded after the death of member Charlie Gocher.

Sun City Girls didn't actually record and release every sound they made during their quarter-century life as a band. But sometimes it feels like they did. From 1981 to 2007, the dizzyingly prolific trio built a discography so large and varied, it's doubtful that anyone outside the band owns it all. According to their own website, they generated 50 albums, 23 cassettes, 12 7"s, 12 soundtracks, 25 compilation appearances, six feature-length videos, and a number of other curios and oddities. (Twenty-eight of the releases on their own label, Abduction, have just been issued digitally for the first time.)

Sun City Girls weren't the world's first prolific band, and they won't be the last. But what's interesting about their oeuvre isn't the sheer volume, but how that volume reflects their approach to making art. Their body of work is sprawling because the music itself sprawled, barreling through genres, ethnicities, and languages, and trashing notions of spiritual, political, and cultural taste. Always happy to err on the side of abandon, courting bemusement, embarrassment, and critical punishment, Sun City Girls stretched a take-the-bad-with-the-good philosophy to a place where the distinction between good and bad eventually breaks down altogether.

"We make hard decisions and we make 'em quickly, and we move on," Alan Bishop told The Wire in 2004. "The downside of that approach is that there is too much for people to digest. The upside is that it's fearless... So we leave a few diamonds by the roadside and we leave a few heaps of pterodactyl shit as well." Or as Alan's bandmate and brother Rick said 2009: "We just thought, 'What the hell, get it out there, who cares what people think-- let's be done with it and start on the next one.' That's how we worked. We released stuff that no band in their right mind would ever consider releasing. It was a beautiful thing."

Part of why it was so beautiful was because Sun City Girls were unafraid-- even eager-- to be ugly. They loved to wander through shambling songs, confounding rants, untamed improvisations, and goofball theatrics, in search of some unknown truth that even they might not understand. Often when it seemed they had drowned in the deep end, they'd resurface with artistic gold, hitting epiphanies that only made sense because of all the diving it took to find them.

This drive to baffle goes back to their earliest days. Formed in 1981 by the Bishop brothers in Phoenix, Arizona (home of a retirement community known as "Sun City"), they briefly went through a few line-ups before settling as a trio with drummer Charlie Gocher. From there, they entered the hostile territory of the punk scene. Their first gig was an opening slot for Black Flag (in front of "a bunch of skinheads [who] absolutely hated us," Rick told Forced Exposure), and their first American tour supported skate-punks JFA, aka Jodie Foster's Army. That may have been a deal with the devil-- Alan played bass in JFA in exchange for Sun City Girls tagging along-- but it actually helped cement the trio's resolve.

"It was easy to develop sort of an anti-audience attitude," Rick told Popwatch in 1999. "Much of the time it was us against the crowd, and the more they hated us the more we relished the fact that we were controlling their evening by purposefully putting them in an environment they were uncomfortable with." Taking naturally to the role of contrarian villains, they found power in eschewing automatic acceptance. As Gocher put it to Forced Exposure, "It takes a certain kind of person to understand the joy of being rejected."
