"Formed in the East Village in 1980 by Georgia-born/New Orleans-raised painter-turned-singer Parker DuLany with Texan guitarist Phil Gammage and rhythm section Russell Berke and Marcy Saddy, the early Certain General aimed at being 'a pop version of the Contortions'. James Chance clearly influences the jerky punk-funk of 1981's Touch but 1982's Hello My God owes more to the Doors and the Velvet Underground, and by the mid-80s with new bassist Joe Lupo they were dealing in thumping psychedelia [Voodoo Taxi].

Certain General were really good friends with Band of Outsiders, another great No Wave act. They played all over downtown New York, together and separately. CBGB's, Pyramid, just everywhere. They did an EP together. One amazing night they did a joint show at Danceteria, probably 1983. It was stunning! BOO did their set, then Certain General. For the last song they all played together. A tidal wave of sound. I'll never forget that show. Ever.
