Big City Orchestra is a long-running art/anti-art group based generally in California.
They have an ever rotating cast of musician and nonmusician members.
They were formed in 1979 as the house band for a network of artist residences in the South Bay area of Los Angeles.
Almost comedically prolific, BCO sailed through the cassette culture movement of the 1980s and 1990s with about 130 hour-long releases on over 100 labels.
Other work has included four video collections, five 7″ singles, one 8″ single, one 10″ single, 10+ compact discs, well over 40 CD-Rs, and more than 300 compilation appearances.
