UJ3RK5 and other gifts

The Graphic Arts Collection recently acquired several projects by the Vancouver artist Rodney Graham. The term ‘projects’ is chosen deliberately because Graham is a writer and a photographer, a musician and a filmmaker, a conceptual humorist who continues to experiment with the written, spoken, and sung word. Most of these projects are out-of-print and so, even nicer to receive as donations. In…

The Anglican - UJ3RK5

[grupaok]

UJ3RK5, 12" vinyl record from 1980, on the Quintessence label — the short lived post-punk/new wave band whose members included Vancouver photoconceptualists Rodney Graham, Ian Wallace and Jeff Wall. [Listen to Unit/Pitt Projects oral history of the band here.]

[devon8isdevon8isdevon8]

There isn’t much info available about U-J3RK5 online (at least, from what I’ve seen in my preliminary searches). Apparently their (only?) album came out in 1980, but two of their tracks on that 1980 album (Work For Police and Naum Gabo) had already appeared on a compilation album of music released in 1979.

U-J3RK5 (especially with songs like Eisenhower and the Hippies) sounds a bit like the B-52′s, especially The B-52′s, that first self-titled album... but the B-52′s first album was released mid-1979, so not really that much longer before U-J3RK5′s first album.

It’s also the earliest documented use of (what looks like) 1337 speak that I’ve seen. Know Your Meme dates the origin of 1337 speak as being 1980, but doesn’t provide much more history than this:

1337 first started on Bulletin Board Systems in which if you had elite status you could access the file folders, games, and V.I.P chatrooms.

However, Wikipedia states it originated “in the 1980s” as opposed to 1980 itself.

I’m interested in the origin of the name U-J3RK5.

It’s possible this band name pre-dates use of 1337 speak online.

Update: I found an article in the Tyee providing some information about them: Vancouver's Über Famous Band That Never Was

The one official recording made by the Vancouver rock band UJ3RK5 -- pronounced You Jerk (the 5 is silent) -- was a four-song EP produced in 1979... UJ3RK5 formed in 1978 when a group of friends started to meet at the SFU studio to hang out and jam... Our first public appearance was at the Helen Pitt Gallery on Pender Street in Vancouver, in March 1979, in a lineup with E, Exxotone, The Generators and The Shades. Joey Shithead of DOA, who had never heard us play, volunteered to be our roadie in exchange for a case of beer...

In 1979 our one record was produced at Little Mountain Sound, one of the best studios in the city... A year later it was picked up by the major label Polygram, who confusingly turned it into a 33 RPM mini-album. The company expected us to embark on a career of touring and recording, perhaps to become the Devo of Canada. In their press release we were described as "progressive in the same way Martha and the Muffins are progressive." That's when UJ3RK5 dissolved...

Man Or Astro-Man? - Eisenhower and the Hippies (UJ3RK5 Cover) (Oh Canaduh!, 1995)

[postspecificpost]

an archive fever can be a dream and a nightmare

I have spent the last two nights staring at the repetition of time.

Last night I watched clips of 70s and 80s Vancouver punk bands like the Mellots, I Braineater, and UJ3RK5 looping from the archive and estate of Lenore (Coutts) Herb.

Tonight, the double bill for Day With(out) Art featured some of the same footage from ACT UP's archive of civil disobedience actions.

Across town, the third and last installment of Anamnesia: Unforgetting took place at VIVO. Cecily Nicholson presents her memories between 1973 to 1979 that address the Oglala Sioux and American Indian Movement stand at Wounded Knee and their concurrent narratives on prison asylum and the civil rights movements.

Combined, that is a lot of electric resistance to oppression and rhythmic screaming and chanting circulating in the air.

There is a cathartic intensity, that is part of it. There is also the collective yet private release of empathy and anger, as expressions of either feeling in the public domain are increasingly repressed and scrutinized. There is something wrong -- not with the individual -- but with society if people are no longer free to feel sad or outraged.

Watching the old punks watch themselves, standing back and sitting, there was a reunion atmosphere of memories conjured, but you could feel the time worn detachment of what is and what was.

Day With(out) Art was a bit different. Most of those faces on screen have died from AIDS. They would have been the same age as most of those punks, if not younger. Those in the audience are those left behind and those unforgetting. There is an unsettled discomfort in seeing these actions of resistance, actions so fueled by the desire for life and justice, be entombed inside of an archival lens.

An archive is a spectrum, but tonight their trajectory feels encased, once removed by apathy. There is still resistance, but it appears to be a resistance to feel, to think, and to know.
