Sun City Girls
The Sun City Girls were an American experimental rock band, formed in 1979 in Phoenix, Arizona.
From 1981 the group consisted of Alan Bishop( bass guitar, vocals), his brother Richard Bishop( guitar, piano, vocals), and Charles Gocher( drums, vocals).
Their name was inspired by Sun City, Arizona, an Arizona retirement community.
In 2007, Gocher died following a long battle with cancer, bringing an end to the group.
In a 26- year career, they produced 50 albums, 23 cassettes, 6 feature- length videos, and many other recordings.
They found little mainstream success, but they continue to inspire a devoted following and have recorded numerous critically acclaimed albums, released in small editions by labels like Placebo, Majora, Eclipse Records, Amarillo Records, and their own Abduction Records.
Their music was hugely varied, spreading across genres such as spoken word, free improvisation, jazz and rock.
Their records typically incorporated lyrics that rely heavily on their interests in mysticism, paranormal topics( especially UFOs), religious cults and other esoterica, often also manifested in their song titles, lyrics and album art.
Performances by the group were often wildly unpredictable, sometimes verging on performance art, with elaborate costumes, kabuki-inspired makeup, and the creation of a festive, ritualistic atmosphere with audience participation.
Critic Steve Leggett writes," Throughout its history SCG has remained a challenging, unpredictable, and eclectic musical unit, operating outside the commercially driven aspirations of the mainstream recording industry, and the group has become somewhat of a beacon to independent musicians and artists everywhere."
Writing in the" Village Voice", Ted Hendrickson argues," They've never made any sense, conventionally speaking, and that's what makes them them."
