Big thanks to Klemen Breznikar for this in-depth interview on his

It's Psychedelic Baby online magazine. Our conversation includes previously untold stories from the early days of my musical endeavors

in the first half of the 1980's.



"I always liked the idea of creating art and having it live in the world

outside of the rarified art gallery and museum atmosphere,

so making a record as a piece of conceptual fine art

was what I set out to do." - Bruce Licher


 

The notorious Los Angeles-based post-punk legends Savage Republic, originally named Africa Corps formed in the early 1980s by four college students obsessed with music.
