No Fun - No Fun

Carty Bledsoe
Live at Galt House, Louisville, July 1978

Way before common people (like me) heard of a place called Louisville thanks to some fine bands growing there, the roots to that scene were engraved by a few art school students who played in a raw queery art punk band for a short period in 1978, called No Fun. 
Their sole recording known to moi is this demo recorded at Gary Falk's Studio, in August that year. Three of those were released in 2007 in a local compilation called Bold Beginnings.

1. Dog Age

2. Answer/Consummation 

3. Evasive Measures

4. She

5. Space Visitor

6. Breaking Glass (Missing track!)

7. Minimum Security

Right after recording, band members Tony Pinotti (Guitar, Vocals) and Bruce "Future" Witsiepe (Guitar, Vocals) moved to New York City and formed one my favorites acts, Circle X, who'm I posted here before (Various Unreleased). You can definitely hear they picked up right where they left.
Drummer Dean Thomas also left Kentucky and joined Levi And The Rockats when those were in the States. 

Tara Key (Guitar, Vocals) formed another great group called Babylon Dance Band (I'll probably post them somewhen) while bassist Carty Bledsoe got back to her art.

No Fun Indeed

If one can hook a brother with the missing track, or any other material by the group, please do !

⨂ - Various Unreleased

Here's a nice thing I got on my pc and have absolutely no recollection of how'd it got there.. probably via soulseek some years ago, but no idea.

If you by chance aren't familiar with those who are often called Circle X, than you better start off with their formal releases (I think all is available online somewhere, if ya can't find something, ask for it).
If you are familiar, than I can assume you're a sucker for them just like I am, hence this one is a real treat.

Massive compilation of songs referred to Circle X, my guess, from varied periods, and not only "pure" Circle X tracks. Some are probably from their "inactive" period of the late 80's, perhaps some by side projects ((for instance, one is actually credited on the file to Life of Falconetti (which were Bruce Witsiepe, Michael Pullen and Ricky Feather)), other versions for released songs (1st Species sounds like early version of '92 7" Compression of The Species / Sweet Song and Machine were released as '94 studio bonus tracks for Live In Dijon '79 release of 2009 / Crash was released on VA '90 compilation St. Sebastian of The Hood), some might even be dated way back to their Dijon era (as they sound extreme noisy as they were back then, and one track's title is Dijon Infirmary).

No matter which, what or when, all track has that distinctive raw sound of Circle X, the one that sure makes them one of my own faves,
