Adding Dark Day to the list of No Wave artists
As founding member of DNA, one of the original 'no wave' bands, I believe that my follow-up band r.l. crutchfield's Dark Day or simply Dark Day, much on the scene in the same clubs at the same time deserves to be added to your band list of no wave bands. Dark Day released a 7 inch single (Hands In The Dark b/w Invisible Man; band lineup featured Robin Crutchfield, Nina Canal (later of Ut) and Nancy Arlen (of Mars); and 2 albums (Dark Day-Exterminating Angel and Dark Day-Window) produced by Charles Ball, the first 2 under the umbrella of his Lust/Unlust Music production company, responsible for early releases by Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Mars, and Ut as well as Donny Christianson of The Raybeats, and Z'ev. The second album, "Window", was ultimately released on Plexus Records after Lust/Unlust went under financially and just prior to the planned release of recordings by Ut. The second incarnation of Dark Day featuring Robin Crutchfield, Phil Kline, and Barry Friar led to the offshoot band The Del-Byzanteens which included Phil Kline and Jim Jarmusch (who had been a guest player on a Dark Day gig, along with Tuxedomoon bassist Peter Principle, at a club called Tracks). As you have seen fit to list The Del-Byzanteens, I feel you should also legitimately list Dark Day. "Hands In The Dark" was an early praised and highlighted no wave single in The New York Rocker.

This can all be verified through various sources including the wikipedia page for Robin Crutchfield and the one for DNA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:EF0C:1700:7D27:1D22:9D0C:E81E (talk) 22:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
