SNL, Film...Then She Suddenly Disappeared | Ep. 244: Suburban Lawns

February 3
43 mins

Episode Description

This week we're discussing every album by Suburban Lawns. Formed in 1978 in Long Beach, CA, the story of Suburban Lawns is definitely a weird one. A surreal Saturday Night Live appearance, an unlikely friendship with the director of Silence of the Lambs, and the sudden disappearance of their singer, Su Tissue--it's all real. Their history is as strange and unpredictable as their music, and we're dissecting it all here.
