So I'm guessing very few people have heard of Rudimentary Peni. Which is really hard for me to believe because they are the most enigmatic and creative bands that ever came out of the anarcho Crass label scene. Diagnosed with schizophrenia and living in a mental institution, Nick Blinko (lead guitartist and vocalist), in my opinion, created beautiful art while simultaneously played some of the most jarring and disturbing punk music. I wish I could have seen this show. Watching this literaly almost moved me to tears. This is a band where if I see someone who has a sticker, a patch, a shirt, or reference a song they are instantly my friend. Give a listen to the album Cacophony:

I have the original record on vinyl and has a different cover that is equally as interesting but simplistic. All the covers were drawn by Blinko. Many rumors sorround the band which may or may not be true but are fascinating to say the least. Peni inspires me to push the envelope and makes me feel good about being a wierdo. So here's to Peni! Weird sister one of us, weird sister one us, gooble gobble, gooble gobble!
