- This is Bush Tetras debut 7-inch EP, "Too Many Creeps", was released in 1980 on 99 Records. The American post-punk No Wave band from New York City, formed in 1979. In 1980, Pat Place was working in the box office of a cinema on New York's Bleecker Street when she wrote the lyrics to Too Many Creeps - soon one of the funkiest numbers from the whole post-punk movement - amid a spell of procrastination. Fed up with passersby harassing her or firing unsolicited comments about her outlandish appearance while selling tickets, she jotted down the refrain in a matter of minutes: "I just don't wanna go out in the streets no more..." The resultant track released later that year became a "downtown anthem", she says, and shuttled her band Bush Tetras toward cult acclaim in the city.
