07 Kramer (Galaxie 500 and related artists)
(Mark) Kramer is all things to all men...
Record Company Boss
He is the man behind both the Shimmy Disc and Kokopop
record labels. He was the owner of Noise New York studio
where Galaxie 500 did most of their recording, and is
currently the owner of Noise New Jersey.
Record Producer
As well as being the producer of all of Galaxie 500 and
Damon and Naomi's records, he has produced an awful lot
of the output of Shimmy Disc. Check out Grenadine and
Low for starters.
Recording Artist
Kramer has released records as a solo artist; As member
of Shockabilly (with Eugene Chadbourne), Bongwater (with
actress Ann Magnusson - Bongwater split in 1994 in a very
acrimonious manner); and in collaboration with a myriad of
other artists including Gong, Hugh Hopper, John Hall,
Daevid Allen. He has also toured as a member of the
Butthole Surfers. His recorded output is very variable,
some of it is exquisite some of it is downright irritating,
take your chances.
Kramer could quite easily warrant a FAQ all of his own
(anyone fancy taking on that task?).
