Chance & the Contortions

One of the original punk-jazz groups of the New York scene, the Contortions were led by saxophone player James Chance, aka James White. Original Contortions guitarist Pat Place went on to found the group the Bush Tetras.

Chance was romantically linked with another New York No Wave luminary, Lydia Lunch; in 1978 the pair collaborated on the album 'Off White' (released by 'James White and the Blacks' with 'Stella Rico'). The African-American band members of "the Blacks," later separated from Chance and formed the band defunkt.
