“Queen Of Siam” was recorded under the direction of Lydia Lunch just as Eight Eyed Spy was starting to form. Lydia had had enough ofTeenage Jesus and was looking for a change. “Queen Of Siam” was recorded with a core band of Pat Irwin, George Scott and Doug Bowne. Bob Quine from Richard Hell and the Voidoids also played some awesome guitar all over and around some big band charts by Billy Ver Planck. At around the same time, Eight Eyed Spy was formed with George Scott from the Contortions, Jim Sclavunos from TeenageJesus, Pat Irwin and Michael Paumgardhen.

Lydia tells me that “Queen of Siam” will be reissued by Atavistic (U.S) and Cherry Red (Europe and Japan) in April.
