about

In June 2019, the CHANDRA band traveled to Los Angeles for a performance at the long-running Part Time Punks club night series. As part of our trip, the wonderful DJ and promoter Michael Stock invited the band to record four of our classic songs from the early 1980s. This session marks guitarist Penny Clark's final recorded performance with CHANDRA, and Issa Oppenheim-Pressman's recorded debut with the band.

about

CHANDRA New York, New York

Born in the NYC underground art scene of the early 1980s, Chandra Oppenheim was a child star like no other. Beginning at age 10, she released her Transportation EPs while backed up by an adult band featuring members of famed mutant disco groups The Dance and Model Citizens. Propelled by infectiously off-kilter grooves, Chandra’s songs explore the singular fascinations of a post-punk pre-teen. ... more

Her Highness (premiere mélange)
by Medicine

I must confess, I missed Her Highness upon its initial release so I cannot compare the two iterations sonically, but what is presented here is incredibly wonderful. Absent are the harsh, almost industrial tones of Shot Forth Self Living and The Buried Life; vocals are much cleaner and higher in the mix, the arrangements are more complex and interesting than a 3-piece would usually bring to the table. Thoroughly enjoyable. A klanger. Ashton Richards
