About Miss High Heel
Miss High Heel was founded in Chicago, Illinois, in late 1995 by James Marlon Magas (Magas, Lake of Dracula, Couch, The Many Moods of Marlon Magas, etc.), Tom Smith (To Live and Shave in L.A., OHNE, Peach of Immortality, Pussy Galore, Boat Of, etc.), and Weasel Walter (Flying Luttenbachers, Weasel Walter Quartet, Lake of Dracula, TLASILA 2, Hatewave, Strawberry, Vanilla, etc.). Joining the no-everything troika were Azita Youseffi (Scissor Girls, Bride of NoNo, Azita, etc.), Jim O'Rourke (Sonic Youth), Jodi McCann (Monotrona, Duotron, Math, etc.), Chuck Falzone (Flying Luttenbachers) and Bill Pisarri (also from the Flying Luttenbachers), Mike Green (Boat Of, Wyfe, The Fans, Her Hair Jelly, etc.), and Nandor Nevai (_, The Restaurants, other nefarious aggregations). Thecolective recorded one radio session (at WZRD-FM), performed one live performance (at the Magnatroid, New Year's Eve '95), and spent three months obsessively recording, mixing, and remixing The Family's Hot Daughter, an album that was to have been issued by the storied Skin Graft imprint. When that label lost an important domestic distribution deal, funding for the MHH collection vanished, and the project was shelved. Tiny noise indie B.Sides (now known as No Sides) released the lone Miss High Heel radio session as Split Wax Cylinder (Inscribed: "Beast 661") in 1998, but the antic tone of the recordings ultimately displeased the group's principals (farceur WW excluded). Eleven years passed. The original album mixes, long vouchsafed within Tom Smith's personal archive, were finally unearthed in 2006. Graham Moore of Blossoming Noise heard five minutes of unedited roughs during an awkward moment at a dinner party and quickly struck a deal, and the album was released in the summer of 2007.
