CHANDRA

https://chandra1980.bandcamp.com/

Transportation is the time-traveling vehicle of Chandra Oppenheim, a 12-year-old fronting a hair-raising post-punk / mutant-disco outfit. The year was 1980, and the setting was Hells Kitchen, New York, at the anomalous intersection of art and music. As the daughter of eminent conceptual artist Dennis Oppenheim, Chandra showed considerable promise as a songwriter and performer from the age of 7. This inspired New York noisemakers The Model Citizens later transforming into The Dance to approach the young firestarter and become her backing band.

The original Transportation EP was released in 1980 by ON / GO GO Records, the bands own imprint, and has since become a long-lost cult classic. Cantor Records and Rain Boots Records are proud to reissue the four-song EP with the addition of four unreleased songs by The Chandra Dimension Chandras touring band comprised entirely of teenagers. Following a previous 2008 pressing, the perpetually out of print and highly sought after release is available on vinyl once again.
