From the UK magazine Far Out":

"Suburban Lawns released their first single, ‘Gidget Goes to Hell’ in 1979, complete with a music video directed by Jonathan Demme. By 1981, they had released their self-titled debut album, which drew influence from the likes of The B-52s, DEVO and Talking Heads.

However, the band came to an end in 1983, with nothing more than their debut album and a few singles to their name. Since then, they’ve become cult favourites, loved for their compelling, fun sound. Yet, many fans have been fascinated by the story of Su Tissue, the band’s bassist, keyboard player and co-vocalist, who brings songs like ‘Janitor’ to life with her strange line deliveries and inflexions.

Born Sue MacLane, the artist rarely allowed people to film her performances, caring little for fame. Tissue became known for her distinctive stage presence – she was often described as standing still and looking bored or stoic. Paired with her out-there clothing, Tissue stood out as one of the most unique vocalists of the time.

When the band split, Tissue went to Berklee College of Music and released a solo album, Salon de Musique. She cut off contact with her bandmates and has lived in obscurity ever since, causing fans to set up Facebook pages in desperate search of the influential musician.

“I like music more than I like talking,” Tissue once said. Clearly, for Tissue, music was of central importance, but so was her privacy. Giving little away in interviews, aside from a brief appearance as Peggy in Jonathan Demme’s 1986 movie Something Wild, Tissue’s story remains somewhat of an enigma."
