Suburban Lawns were an American post-punk band formed in Long Beach, California in 1978 by CalArts students William "Vex Billingsgate" Ranson and Sue "Su Tissue" McLane.
[3][4] Their musical performances included creative costumes with Su Tissue delivering, according to Ennui a "full mind blowing impact".
I’m a janitor!” were already written when Sue McLane added them herself: Gleur departed during the recording of the Richard Mazda-produced five-song EP Baby, released in 1983, and the band folded shortly afterward.
After the split, Whitney and Ranson formed a new, short-lived band called the Lawns,[citation needed] while McLane attended Berklee College of Music, where she studied piano.
[9] She also played the role of Peggy Dillman in Demme's 1986 comedy movie Something Wild opposite Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels and Ray Liotta.
