Band: The Government
Album: Electric Eye
Year: 1979
Label: Voicespondence
The Government were a Canadian art punk band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This is their Electric Eye album from 1979.
From discogs:
"Slightly quirky new wave outfit leaning on the art punk side became legendary on the Toronto Queen Street club circuit playing such venues as The Crash And Burn, The Edge, Larry's Hideaway and The Beverley Tavern and art venues such as the Music Gallery. The "Electric Eye" album was one such performance recorded at the Music Gallery as the soundtrack to a full-length video production. The album is a testament to the live incorporated performance of the video's audio track."
