The 'Fronts - Mamo Waves (Vinyl LP - 2024 - US - Original)
Named after a West Coast grocery store chain, The Whitefronts started out in 1982 as a quartet of art and theater students attending Ucsb at Isla Vista CA.. The band quickly mutated into a sextet. In 1984, they moved north to establish themselves as part of the San Francisco DIY culture. Live shows usually consisted of open jams drawing from what the band was obsessing about at the time—free jazz, The Velvet Underground, Caribbean music, improv noise—as well as their own unheralded genres that popped in and out of existence like subatomic particles. Shows with local bands like Slovenly, Camper Van Beethoven, Caroliner Rainbow, Vomit Launch, Barnacle Choir and Barbara Manning provide some context as to their eccentric position within the indie scene of the era.
