"Moody" (live)



"UFO" (studio version)



"You Make No Sense" (studio version, with video of some geeky semi-cute guy dancing his butt off)

Who else loves the hippest all-lady funk band ever to come outta The Bronx?

"UFO" is the classic b-boy schitt so right there that makes the EP essential for me. All the other songs on their EP are good too though.

Love ESG, but you really have to see them live to appreciate, they are amazing, the sort of band you'd want to play at your party!

i got their "south bronx story" compilation recently and it was one of those semi-informed purchases where i didn't really know what i was getting into, but i loved it on first listen. i knew they were a big part of the NYC no-wave scene, but i didn't know much more than that.

i can't help but listen to this and think that ESG would have a good case if they ever wanted to sue the talking heads for forging the funk. giggle

also...

i'm very impressed that there's a small but devoted group of ESG fans on the org! woot!

like i said, i just dipped into their music for the first time this week after a long time of hearing them namechecked in writings about the no-wave scene, and i love what i'm hearing! i have volume 2 of their greatest hits anthology downloading as we speak! biggrin

are there any "essential" tracks or albums by ESG that i should be on the lookout for? i think their two anthologies pretty much cover all the bases, no?

I might be wrong but their recorded output is quite small and you're probably about to hear all of it.

i think you're right, but that's fine. if there's less to absorb, that's more attention i can give it. nod
