NOMEANSNO REISSUE CLASSIC ALBUM DANCE OF THE HEADLESS BOURGEOISIE ON DOUBLE VINYL
RELEASE DATE: 28TH APRIL
“…well you know what they say. The world wasn’t built in a day.” – Nomeansno
Originally released in 1998 on double LP and CD by Alternative Tentacles, Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie was reissued on CD on the band’s own Wrong Records in 2004, but it’s taken them a while to get around to a vinyl reissue. Now Nomeansno fans the world over finally have the chance to enjoy the album in its full gatefold glory.
The tenth album from Nomeansno was, and still is, a groundbreaking exploration of social and political lyrical statements and post-punk musical workouts. Back in the day, confused people liked to call this “jazz-punk” or “jazzcore” because it involved more than three chords, time changes and slow parts. It still sounds like nothing else, comfortably in a league of its own, chock-full of both celebratory and angry sounds, with a smart lyrical lurch, and enough sharp musical turns to cause severe dizziness.
Listen to This Story Must Be Told
Released in conjunction with Southern Records, Dance Of The Headless Bourgeoisie will get the double 180-gram vinyl gatefold treatment with an mp3 download card included.

REVIEWS FOR DANCE OF THE HEADLESS BOURGEOISIE…
“Scientific proof that NoMeansNo has indeed transformed from a tight, aggressive, smart, political punk band into a dull, meandering punk version of Rush.” – A.V. Club
“Nomeansno finally has some decent production that puts all their instruments in the right place without sacrificing their power. The first four tracks charge out of the gate with the steam of a locomotive…” – Satan Stole My Teddybear
“The proclamation “I’m An Asshole” and the graphic-as-true-crime violently extortionate title track lend credence to theory that Nomeansno is out to offend this time.” – Allmusic
“Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie is for the most part an unquestionable jazzcore masterpiece: inaccessible, uncompromising and very draining, but also incredibly tight, smart, funny, intense and repeatedly mind-blowing.” – Guy Peters Record Reviews
