PERFORMANCE

1979 • Extremists in an Igloo

Extremists in an Igloo evolved from a punk band (with the same line-up) called the Newrotics which had a drum kit made from tin cans, heavily modified homemade guitars and a synthesiser made from a door bell chip. Extremists brought in film, performance and collaborations with dancers, performers and on several occasions, a choir to sing Gregorian chants.
