The 49 Americans
The 49 Americans were a loose collective formed in London by Andrew "Giblet" Brenner and active from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Brenner called the group an experiment in the pursuit of happiness, open to musicians and non-musicians alike. The line-up drew on the London improvising scene and on post-punk, and their off-kilter songs move between doo-wop, bossa nova and scratchy punk-funk.
