<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As lead vocalist of the </span><b>Bush Tetras</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a seminal post-punk band in New York  City, </span><b>Cynthia Sley </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">produced some of the most distinctive aspects of the Tetras sounds. Sley&#8217;s vocals were half spoken, half sung and in songs like &#8220;Too Many Creeps&#8221; and &#8220;You Can&#8217;t Be Funky&#8221; she repeated simple phrases creating a hypnotic monotony similar to Pat Place&#8217;s guitar rhythms. &#8220;Too Many Creeps&#8221; was a mainstay of the infamous early &#8217;80s New York &#8220;No Wave&#8221; club scene.  </span></p>
