WKGB - Non-Stop




Morris County's resident electronic duo, playing energetic synth-rock at a time when compact discs, techno-raves, and ecstasy were still years away. They began in '77 when David Goessling and Dennis Kelley began experimenting with Kelley's electronics at his home. Bruce Grant, a dear friend of theirs, heard one of their early jams and encouraged them to take it to the stage. Grant became their sound-man and got them their first gig, at the Stanhope House, as the opening act for a certain other band he was doing sound for. With just two EMS synthesizers, a guitar, two amps and a tape echo unit, all of WKGB's equipment fit neatly into the trunk of a car, enabling them to effortlessly transport their sound to the stage. This is an excellent electronic minimal 7". Non-Stop was released as a 7" by Fetish Records (FET 002) in 1980.

Another nice post of an obscure wonder.

Do you have the Bongos 12" version of Mambo Sun?

Thanks for a great blog.

Hello old friend. Doesn't this cover remind you of the second Kulk LP?

a big nice hello to you to,

yes it has some similarities, except for the penis chopping on the KUKL album.
