Robot Rock du Jour: Aviador Dro (1980 + 1982)
I don’t know why I’m on this jamón synth kick lately, but after you peep these vids, I doubt you’ll blame me!
Madrid-based Aviador Dro recorded some of the most leftfield minimal wave synth punk ever made. The following videos are from their obscure period in the early 1980s. Check those pre-acid synth lines! To top it all off, their penchant for industrially-themed costumes gave the music a whack post-apocalyptic feel. Substantially all their music in the 1980s was published on their own label, DRO. Enjoy!

Robot Rock du Jour: Futurisk – Player Piano EP (1982)
This obscure Miami-based band recorded some of the finest minimal synth-punk tracks ever made on two ridiculously rare 7″ pressings. Check this “live” cut of Meteoright, the audio for which is available on 180g vinyl at Minimal Wave for $22.
