About Certain General
"Formed in the East Village in 1980 by Georgia-born/New Orleans-raised painter-turned-singer Parker DuLany with Texan guitarist Phil Gammage and rhythm section Russell Berke and Marcy Saddy, the early Certain General aimed at being 'a pop version of the Contortions'. James Chance clearly influences the jerky punk-funk of 1981's Touch but 1982's Hello My God owes more to the Doors and the Velvet Underground, and by the mid-80s with new bassist Joe Lupo they were dealing in thumping psychedelia [Voodoo Taxi]. These Manhattan live scene stalwarts supported Liquid Liquid at Hurrah's and played Max's, CBGB and Danceteria, but missed opportunities, ill luck and manager Ruth Polsky's tragic death meant they never broke into the mainstream." - Jon Harrington
