In about 1983 or so a friend of mine escorted Neubauten as a promoter rep for their show in Atlanta. Usually this job involved helping the touring artists run errands. Laundry, shopping, etc. These guys wanted to tour city dumps and industrial areas to find objects to incorporate into their performance. They liked locally sourced found objects to bang on and grind on.
After a couple of hours kicking through the shit they became dismayed and frustrated. "Your city is too new to have any quality refuse"
