Annotation
Synth Punk / Art Punk group, formed in 1977 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Members included: Robin Amos (synthesizer), Daved Hild (drums, vocals), Mark Dagley (guitar, vocals), and George Condo (bass). The song "Vietcong Women" (Brasch Records # BR102), is of course a reference to the Vietcong (or "VC") - the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (Vietnamese: Mặt trận Dân tộc Giải phóng Miền Nam Việt Nam) (NLFSV or NLF), the political and military resistance to the US and South Vietnamese government from within South Vietnam.
