Punk goes disco “So Many Ways”?

Wayne County & the Electric Chairs were part of the first wave of punk bands from the 1970s. The band is headed by Georgia transgender woman, Wayne County, who later changed her name to Jayne County.
This is exceptional as it highlights disco’s influence on punk bands in the 70’s. Recently released on the compilation “Under The Influence 3” and as a single. This is a must for any obscure collector out there.

Under The Influence Vol. 3 – Compiled By James Glass

OK, so what we have here is the third installment from Joey Negro‘s imprint Z Records. The previous editions of UTI were compiled by Red Greg and Paul Phillips respectively.

Volume 3 brings us a very rare collection of dusty disco and eccentric electo jams. Glass selects oddities like Wayne/Jayne County‘s Backing band The Electric Chairs to the funky stomper “Do The Beat” by Sweet Talks.
