I have a feeling that Clem and Kennedy had more to do with the creative process of the music than is led on. Their sound changed pretty drastically after they left. It got significantly less experimental.
Although it's hard to know exactly how much they contributed musically, I think you're right..The introduction.of the Emulator and reliance on synths after 1982's ' Tunes of Two Cities' LP was my exit point from their music, too.
Reminds me that there was a 2000s band in Gisborne called the Residents. When I pointed out they had chosen a name by a world famous band with dozens of records out they just shrugged.
That is "Lizard Lady" from Duck Stab/Buster and Glen. "Planes are stranded in the sky, drains are stopping too. She alone is laughing under eyelids full of blue." Good stuff.
I remember watching this when it was first broadcast on KQED, and they identified him as Jay Clem...don't know what happened to the caption in the ensuing years.
Late 70s, no later than 1980 I reckon. As I recall Videowest was broadcast late Friday nights and reported on the "current scene" at the time, so a lot of punk/new wave and such. Very San Francisco oriented, but not limited to that.
This is a re-edit...I was looking this up because I have the episode & was wondering if VideoWest was on TH-cam. (The music is edited, too) The airing I had was from early 1981.
that line was spoken by Clem himself on Santa Dog. he's the voice in "Explosion" from Santa Dog, the vocalist screaming "can't you see??" & leading the cheers in The Boarding House Show, and the voice in "Whoopy Snorp." Probably a few other places too, most likely some vocals on "Meet the Residents" or "Third Reich n Roll"

This is Jay Clem, one of the founding members of the Residents. I think he split in the 80's along with John Kennedy.

@@tuskedbeast Making the big time in NZ with music is highly unlikely so theirs no reason to worry
Wow at 2:37

Is this the only appearance they made on Videowest?

That is "Lizard Lady" from Duck Stab/Buster and Glen. "Planes are stranded in the sky, drains are stopping too. She alone is laughing under eyelids full of blue." Good stuff.

Tmec Rep Yeah, I know, that’s why I quoted it. He’s also the other voice on the Radio Special cassette, opposite from Flynn.
"Third Reich'n'Roll" is one of the funniest videos ever. And that sounds like Jay Clem to me.
