Mobilize the Lumpenproletariat

The Lumpen Proles were a punky new wave band from Albany, New York.  

 

 

They only released one 7" single "She Wasn’t Home" b/w "Positive Thinking" in 1983 on No Crust Records. They had a few tracks on various compilations ("World in Darkness" on the Live at 288 comp recorded in September 1983 at the notorious 288 Lark Street, Albany & "You Can't Forget (alternate intro)" on the 1982s Hudson Rock comp. 

 

 

The band featured: Scot Gray - lead guitar & backing vocals; Josh Vincent - bass & vocals; & William S. Rella - drums & backing vocals.



I dug up this recording of a live show they preformed in Albany summer 1983.
