SexA "Pussy In The Sky With Diamonds" 7"

This single was released to celebrate the first year of "Iz Sve Snage (With All Power)", the first independent record store in Zagreb where a lot of us bought one of our first hardcore, grind or punk records.
SexA
(Sedatives ex Apoteka (Sedatives from the Pharmacy)) were noise band from my hometown Zagreb. They started around 1980/81 and are often regarded as best noise band ever in ex-Yugoslavia and soon became a cult group.
When war broke out here, they've moved to Amsterdam, but soon disbanded. That was also due to many problems they had with local squatters who labeled them sexist and what not and they were blacklisted everywhere in A'dam. That was utter bullshit and they were one of most positive and active people in Zagreb's scene in the 80s.
Beside this single, they also had an album "Fuck Piction/No Sleep 'til Pussy" which are two recordings on one LP and a number of tape releases.
Famous Steve Albini was interested in producing their new material, but they have called it quits in 1992. He once performed their song "No Sleep 'til Pussy" with Shellac.
They've done some stuff later with different line-up and more industrial sound.
Here you can see three videos (Jeane! Jone!, No Sleep Till Pussy and Djevojčica(Girl)) from their "The Jeane Jone Story" VHS from 1991 that also contained some live footage, rehearsal outtakes and an interview.
