Once described by the New York Times as "a scattered collection of anarchists
and antigentrification militants," Missing Foundation bloomed in the late
eighties Lower East Side amid the Koch-era rapid gentrification of the
neighborhood. Industiral and performance art pioneers, Missing Foundation, led
by Peter Missing, made a name for themselves sowing political and social dissent
through infamous confrontational and disruptive live activities across the city.
Notorious for inciting civil unrest and serious damage to venues at which they
performed, Missing Foundation's live actions are the stuff of New York legend,
like rolling lit oil barrels doused in kerosene into the audience at CBGB's, or
most famously, The Tompkins Square Park Riot of 1988, when one of their protest
concerts turned violent.
After releasing a total of five albums, the group disbanded following 1992's "Go
Into Exile". Baked is proud to drop "World In Chains," their first official work
since.
Very little has changed socially since Missing Foundation's calls for unrest
sparked the tinderbox of Manhattan. Gentrification has snowballed its
consumption and commodification of New York, with the staggeringly disparate
divide between her citizens escalating rapidly day by day. So it makes sense
that with this backdrop, Missing and co. have reemerged from the shadows to
dispense with the formalities and let us know "The Party's Over."
