Ten great new wave saxophonists!

Lene Lovich
Lora Logic (X Ray Spex/Essential Logic)
Benjamin Bossi (Romeo Void)
Duncan Kilburn (Psychedelic Furs)
Steve Berlin (Blasters/Los Lobos)
Mars Williams (Waitresses)
Saxa (English Beat)
Lee Thompson (Madness)
Stephen Singleton (ABC)
Henry Badowski

10 is a nice round number, which makes it sound like it's what I was aiming for all along, when in reality I just couldn't think of any more. Except maybe David Bowie and whoever the guy was that played sax on "Hiroshima Mon Amour" by Ultravox.

CRAP! I forgot one of the greatest of all - Davey Payne from the Blockheads!

- Whoever played sax on The Plugz' "Blue Sofa" was great. Probably Steve Berlin, he seemed to be the go-to guy for the LA scene.

- Blurt

- "Two Little Skeletons" by Inflatable Boy Clams (total classic, listen here if you're not familiar with this one)

- "Over There" by The Connells (if memory serves correct)

There's a great sax intro on Iggy Pop's Tiny Girls.

James Chance aka White aka Black

ALSO

Does anyone recall a guy called Lorenz Lorenz who did a song called three minute egg which was just him and his sax honking then yelling ay ay ay ay ay then honking the n yelling some more. The multicultural TV channel over this way had a show callled "Rock Around The World" hosted by this woman called Basia Bonkowski (subject of the Painters and Dockers tune "Basia") and she used to play heaps of whacky shit mixed in with heaps of ultra commercial shit. So it was the first place I saw videos by Trio, United Balls, Barnes and Barnes, Ideal, Avis Davis and at the other end of the spectrum, the first videos I saw by Bon Jovi and Krokus. But Lorenz Lorenz was the whackiest.

Can't remember the players' names offhand, but let's not forget:

Medium Medium
Bodysnatchers
Offs
Fear ("New York's Alright If You Like Saxaphones")

Okay, maybe that last one isn't totally serious.... ^_^
p.s. do Lounge Lizards count as "New Wave" or are they too close to jazz ("fake jazz" or not)?

I'm also reminded of Elvis Costello's Punch The Clock, which had plenty of horns.

and I should also mention the excellent horns on The Saints' albums, both on Eternally Yours and Prehistoric Sounds.

I heard a really good Canadian band out of Winnipeg around 1983-84 called the Dub Rifles, and they had both a sax and a trumpet player, in addition to the basic 3-man new wave combo. They never made it out of the bush leagues though, as that sound was getting out of style by then. Which is a shame.

Don't forget Norman Salant. His song on the America Underground cassette was one of its many highlights.

How could we forget Steven Mackay's work with the Stooges? Shame on us!
