Tanz Waffen was born of the ashes of an Austin band called the Secret Six (which in turn had been born of Jesse Sublett's band The Skunks, with some help from my old band Almost Anyone (featuring me and the late Gary Guthrie), in Austin Texas, somewhere around 1984. The name, occasionally a source of controversy, means Dance Weapons, translated from it's German origins. We were fortunate enough to hook up with Razormaid Records and release 4 songs remixed by Joseph Watt. Second, in 1986 we met the band Mark of Kane, formed lasting friendships and played many a show together, engineered for each other, and eventually merged into one band in 1991 called Voodoo Dali. In 1988 we met, befriended and eventually toured with (both opening as well as being her band) the new wave star Lene Lovich.
