Categorization rendered impossible, and I am grateful to Los Angeles' NEONATES for the challenge. My reference points include SISTER FUCKER, girlSperm, THE SLITS, some shit like BLURT that was on Rough Trade 40 years ago...but these are just reference points, you know? NEONATES doesn't sound like any of the above, but their plodding meanders and the shrill yelps take me to the same place. Or to a similar place. I like it there. It's not my place and it's not a place for me....but I'm happy to be able to visit from a distance because it seems really cool there. They were done a decade ago, so whatever (or wherever) that place is, it's in the past like a lot of other cool stuff.
