Product Description

Beakers were a hack fit of four art-bashing funk wave arbiters who skronked into action January 1980 and expired in January 1981. In between, they toured up and down the West Coast, released a 7" single & songs on two compilations, played shows with Delta 5 & Gang Of Four and recorded several times.

The majority of the 17 songs on Four Steps Toward A Cultural Revolution have never been released before; the handful that were once available are now long out of print. The four Beakers – George Romansic (drums), Mark H. Smith (guitar, vocals), Jim Anderson (sax, vocals) and Frankie Sundsten (bass) – were an abrupt, powerful force on the Seattle musical scene, who through the force of their personalities and charmingly abrasive music made that town quake, dance and smile.
