Essential Logic
The Lexington, N1 9JB , [Venue Details]Lora Logic was 15 years old and had been playing saxophone for a little more than six months when she joined her friend Marion Elliot (aka Poly Styrene) and formed X-Ray Spex
Logic stayed in the band long enough to record and release the seminal feminist punk single "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!" and arrange sax parts for an album's worth of songs, but left X-Ray Spex abruptly, forming Essential Logic instead with guitarist/vocalist Phil Legg, bassist Mark Turner, drummer Rich Tea, and future Whitehouse affiliate William Bennett on second guitar. Eschewing fast and loud playing for off-kilter rhythms, abstract sax figures, and forays into dissonance and atonality, Essential Logic created some of the most liberating, exciting music of the early post-punk era. Along with her primitive, exhilarating sax playing, Logic displayed an imaginative vocal style that conflated the subtle eroticism of Patti Smith with the boundlessness of Yoko Ono. Essential Logic released several singles prior to 1979's "Beat Rhythm News (Waddle Ya Play)" debut album on Rough Trade Records before breaking up during the recording of their second album. Logic completed that album, "Pedigree Charm", and released it under her own name in 1982. She also contributed to work from the Stranglers, Raincoats,
