<div>The influential noise band Thessalonians were pioneers in the San Francisco noise scene of the mid 80's. Founded in 1985 by Kim Cascone, Larry Thrasher (Psychic TV, Thee Majesty) and David James (Spearhead, The Coup) out of the recording project PGR (RRR and Silent Records). Later Thessalonians added David Gardner (Tipsy) and Kurt Robinson to the lineup. They released several cassettes and a full length vinyl LP called "The Black Field" on Silent Records. In 1991 Cascone, Thrasher and James regrouped with Paul Neyrinck and Don Falcone (Spirits Burning) and released the CD "Soulcraft" that combined noise samples and beds with ethno-ambient textures and beats. The CD sold over 3000 copies in London alone and was considered a prototype for the emerging Asian Underground scene in London as it relied heavily on Thrasher's tabla playing and dub influences. The 2005 Noh Poetry Records release titled "Solaristics" was an ambient electronic noise release of recordings made in the 90's. <br />
