Savage Republic (at the time still called Africa Corps) photographed by Mariska Leyssius. ‘Next to Nothing’, the new single from Africa Corps Live at the Whisky A Go Go 30th December 1981, is now available on all platforms: orcd.co/srntn
Psyched to be screening at the legendary @Melkweg in Amsterdam. Director @StuartSwezey in conversation with underground film and culture author @JackSargeant23. ‘Desolation Center (2019) + Q&A - Sun 25 Sep ’22 @Melkweg’ — melkweg.nl/en/33464 @thesonicyouth

Great piece about Savage Republic posted in memory of founding member Phil Drucker.
Three of the original Savage Republic members (Bruce Licher, Philip Drucker, Jeff Long) recently reconnected, after a long time, on the occasion of the expanded anniversary reissue of the band’s debut album Tragic Figures. independentprojectrecords.com/post/surfing-w…
@desolationcent director @StuartSwezey honored to be part of the 40th anniversary #SavageRepublic first LP reissue on @IndependentIPR
“Who else was combining pounding metal percussion, Glenn Branca-tuned surf guitar, motorik drumming, Middle Eastern modal tones, 80s hardcore punk energy with song titles like ‘Attempted Coup Madagascar’?” ~ Stuart Swezey (@desolationcent) #SavageRepublic #TragicFigures
We are sad to report the passing of Phil Drucker, co-founder of Savage Republic and 17 Pygmies who leaves behind an amazing legacy of music. As a professor of Constitutional Law, he was a beloved mentor. RIP Phil, your music and spirit live on! @IndependentIPR
Definitely the vibe! Was that SRL/Neubauten show at the On Broadway? If so, I was there too. Amazing night!
@desolationcent I may have missed those shows but caught Sonic Youth & Savage Republic in SF as well as an amazing SRL/Neubauten show. My wife lit Blixa’s cigarette for him! We avoided dehydration but I’m pretty sure we both have a little permanent hearing damage 👂💥🖤
This is the amazing original black&white drawing Steven Krakow (aka Plastic Crimewave) made for his Damaged Guitar Gods trading cards (which accompanied his 9th Galactic Zoo Dossier zine published by @dragcityrecords).
Yep, this is Stuart tweetin' away here. The Desolation Center shows were back in the Dark Ages before medical science proved that terrible music combined with dehydration could be lethal.
@desolationcent No problem, I appreciate the follow-back! Is this Stewart S. tweeting for this account or...? In addition to being a fan of terrible music, earaches and dehydration I am also a filmmaker & screenwriter :D
Love that! Where is your library?
@desolationcent In our Library! @stewartsweazy
Really appreciate the kind words and the shout out!
@desolationcent I read about the Desolation Center shows in a magazine about a year after they happened, had I only known. It would have been my Woodstock. It WAS excellent programming, y'all hit my personal demographic bullseye so well done. 💀🎸⚙️🔨🔥🤘🖤
Excellent programming.
