Episode 256: Six Finger Satellite

Today I’m breaking down every album by Six Finger Satellite. Formed in Providence, RI in 1988, Six Finger Satellite were an insane noise rock band unlike any other. James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem was their sound engineer and eventual producer, until he inadvertently contributed to their breakup. Just crazy.
