CATHOLIC DISCIPLINE - Underground Babylon


Craig Lee
Plus un collectif de musiciens et d'artistes qu'un groupe, Catholic Discipline est formé en août 1979 par Claude Bessy (vocals), un français installé à L.A en 73 et cofondateur de Slash Magazine, Craig Lee (drums) guitariste des Bags, Phranc (guitar) de Nervous Gender, Robert "El Vez" Lopez (synthesizer) guitariste des Zeros, Rick Jaffe (bass) ex-Bpeople & Richard Meade (synthesizer). Bien que la formation n'existe qu'une année sans laisser de traces vinyliques et ne se produise qu' en Californie, son inclusion dans le superbe documentaire de Penelope Spheeris "The Decline Of Western Civilization" lui confère une certaine aura dans la mystique punk de L.A.  Undeground Babylon est sorti en CD en 2004 chez Artifix puis réédité en LP en 2012...

  1. One of the most interesting bands from the L.A. scene in the transition into the 1980's. Too bad everyone in the band did not take it more seriously to have made a real effort as their main focus. At least for a handful of albums. Anyways I am still very happy with these recordings to serve as an album. Lord knows they deserved it. Everyone in the band is a hero to me. Claude is a role model and demigod of cynical clownery that as I feel kin to as we all play sardonically along to the world's bullshit. Anyways good times and great taste friend or I'll say fam after this. Okay then. All ♥.
