"In our very short spell as a 'live band' Nurse With Wound performed 8 times, 5 in public, between the years of 1984-86. These events were shambolic, chaotic and uneven affairs, sometimes as boring for the performers as the non-plussed audiences but at other times reaching an amazing intensity. Some were quite amusing - I remember one in particular, a christmas event in Amsterdam. We had decided no electric lights, just hundreds of candles around the stage and, in amongst the audience (whe were busy arranging them in circles) we began. I had a vast array of little noise making objects - toys and things - and I started inviting members of the audience to help us wind the clockwork stuff when suddenly about fifty people descended upon us, all very eager to help. Soon there was no room and we discreetly left the stage to watch the show from the comfort of the bar. Nobody seemed to notice. The audience played well and some of that gig made it on to this CD, which contains the high points of our Bar Maldoror happenings."
Steven Stapleton Feb 3rd 1994.

I recently in Issue No. 3 of "Diavolo in Corpo" read of French Surrealist Andre Breton and his comrade in 1930 laying waste to a new Parisian nightspot entitled "Bar Maldoror". The name is a reference to a book by seminal Surrealist Lautreamont, entitled Chants of Maldoror. The book itself is one of complete negation. It was (and is) classically known as a total refusal and a kick in the teeth to all the forces that would seek to restrain the individual. But I digress Breton and his comrade strongly detested the opening of "Bar Maldoror", which would have only been a means to profit off of his legacy. Knowing this they destroyed the bar without apology. The owner faced with such a show of wrath was forced to change the name of the business.
