MORE ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE: The Modernettes were a popular punk band that formed in Vancouver around 1980. Members of the trio were guitarist John "Buck Cherry" Armstrong, bassist Mary Jo Kopechne, and drummer John "Jughead" McAdams. All of the members added vocals to the performances. Many music critics described the group's songs as somewhat of a mixture of the Velvets and the Ramones. In 1980, the Modernettes recorded the debut EP Strictly Confidential. It was released under the Quintessence Records label. A second EP, Teen City, followed quickly. The sophomore carries six tunes, including "Suicide Club," "Little Girls," "Celebrity Crackup," and the band's strongest and probably most popular song, "Barbara." Though the group pulled together a strong following, true success seemed to stay at least two steps ahead of the members. The Modernettes only completed one album, Get It Straight. The full-length offering carries 20 tunes. John Armstrong, known during his Modernettes days as Buck Cherry, went on to perform with other groups, and to put together his own home studio. The Modernettes were formed in 1979, based on the central partnership of John Armstrong, aka Buck Cherry, and Mary Armstrong, aka Mary-Jo Kopechne. John formed the Modernettes soon after Active Dog split up in early 1979, drafting drummer John McAdams and Mary to form the “classic” three-piece. They released the landmark Teen City 12-inch EP in 1980 on Quintessence Records, and made a video for lead-off track Barbra. They would split up, then reform, and release two more 12-inch EPs before dissolving in late 1983. In 1991 Zulu Records released a CD collection of Modernettes studio recordings and unreleased live tracks, Get It Straight; later reissued and currently available from Sudden Death Records. Les sez: John Armstrong was an astute song writer and capable guitar player, a Svengali of sorts, and Mary was a piece of much-needed glamor and sex appeal in the gritty punk scene. Together, they created some of the most memorable music of the era. Unlike much of what came out of that period, Modernettes sound absolutely contemporary today. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING!
