The final two days of the show consisted of Friday with D.N.A. and James Chance and the Contortions, credited as “Contortions”, followed by Mars and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks on Saturday.In the audience for the shows was English musician/producer Brian Eno who originally came to New York to master the Talking Heads second album More Songs About Buildings and Food.[1] Brian Eno was impressed by the bands, and was convinced that the movement should be documented and proposed the idea of a No Wave compilation with himself as a producer.
