Artist Info: Pulsallama

Pulsallama were an all-girl bass and percussion band in New York City circa 1980 to 1983 who put out two singles, and played at nightclubs like Danceteria and Club 57. Their distinctive sound (think a more chaotic, shambolic, New York version of Rip, Rig and Panic, Bow Wow Wow or Bananarama) can work wonders on an unsuspecting dancefloor. They played jungle rhythms on kitchen utensils and wore 50s cocktail dresses. Their songs were often about themselves-"Pulsallama's On the Rag" for instance, or the Pig Latin-ized "Ulsapay Amallay."
