Biography
China Shop was a band that began in 1980 after its two main members, the late Juan “Naux” Maciel and Steve Cohen, got to playing together. The band is essentially another obscure late-seventies sounding/post-punk affair, and is pretty boring and musically vacuous if you're not into that sort of thing. On the other hand, if you like punk music, even a little, this band's output is original, and the melody and instrumentation is varied and 'spicy.' There's more of a noisy element to this band than most other late seventies punk bands. Richard Edson, of momentary, early Sonic Youth (un)fame was one of the band's drummers. They apparently had a lot of drummers in their short-lived career as musicians. (From prior entry: To conclude, I'm sure Maciel and Cohen are peddling dope or used cars by now and spending what little royalties they get on pot, booze, and hairplugs.)
