The No Wave era of NYC was a short, dark flash of energy that was extinguished almost as soon as it was noticed. It happened so goddamn fast that if you missed the imaginal cut-off for inclusion by a few weeks, you were forever written out of the picture. The Hi Sheriffs were just outside our temporal markers, despite the fact they'd played Tier 3, the Mudd Club and everywhere you'd think would matter. But look, they were as second gen No Wave as The Raybeats, Bush Tetras and 8 Eyed Spy. Shit moved fast. The fact that the Hi Sheriffs were devolved from The Girls did not mean shit. They were perhaps only weeks too late to make the No Wave cut (something they'd immediately wanted to hit after The Girls played Tier 3 with Basquiat's band, Gray). They were like a crazed version of DNA playing the blues. Even Lydia Lunch liked 'em. She did not record with them until later but even she knew she was beyond No Wave at the point of 8 Eyed Spy. It was a weirdly specific scene in many ways. But sonically, it bore lots of fruit. And one of the first, best and most blues-wailingest of its proponents was the Hi Sheriffs Of Blue.
