The Del-Byzanteens

Lucy Sante wrote lyrics to some of their songs, while Jamie Nares sometimes contributed as a percussionist, and occasionally John Lurie performed with them on stage.

[1] They released a 12" EP: Girl's Imagination (1981), an LP: Lies to Live By (1982), and a 7" single: Draft Riot (1982).

"[3] According to Sante, they were "a band that insouciantly blended high and low, virtuosity and amateurism, calypso and science fiction, pots and pans and drones and the Supremes.

"[5] Like the filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, many of its members have gone on to become famous in their own right, making music (Phil Kline), art (Jamie Nares), and writing (Sante).

In early 2011 she released a 52-minute "hand-made" DVD, "Eskimo Lounge Music", featuring live footage from these performances, interfoiled with recent interviews with the band members.
