Suburban Lawns were a band that made a definite impact on the L.A. punk/New Wave scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s with frenetic and energetic New Wave music infused with a sense of subversion, oddness and humor. Founded in 1978 in Long Beach, California, they were lead singer Su Tissue (aka Sue McLane), bassist/singer Vex Billingsgate (Billy Ranson), lead guitarist John Gleur (John McBurney), rhythm guitarist/singer Frankie Ennui (Rick Whitney) and drummer Chuck Roast (Chas Rodriguez). In 1980, director Jonathan Demme filmed the band's first video, "Gidget Goes to Hell," which had the deliberate look of an amateurish home video shot at the beach on grainy 8mm. It was aired in November 1980 on Elliott Gould/Kid Creole & the Coconuts (1980). The band broke up in 1983. The year before, lead singer Su Tissue had recorded a solo piano recording, "Salon de Musique," which was released in 1984. After this, she attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts but left the music behind by the late 1980's. She supposedly went to law school and became an attorney but according to band members, they have had no contact with her since the dissolution of the band.
