Naked City was an avant-garde music group led by saxophonist and composer John Zorn. Active primarily in New York City from 1988 to 1993, Naked City was initiated by Zorn as a "composition workshop" [1] to test the limits of composition (and improvisation) in a traditional rock band lineup. Its music incorporated recognizable elements of jazz, grindcore, surf, classical, heavy metal, country music, punk rock and other genres.
I have a few of their albums, and everytime I'm on shuffle I have to check who the band is because it's such insane music. Not to mention they were around in the late 80's early 90's. I don't know how they haven't been a huge musical influence to a lot of spaz bands out today.
I'm sure they have a myspace. I know John Zorn does.
John Zorn has a HUGEEE discography, which is definately worth checking out as well. I'd recomend his Music for Children album.
