Mars

Band, 1975-1978 US
Alternative
A.k.a. China (43)

Mars was a New York City rock band formed by vocalist Sumner Crane in 1975. He was joined by China Burg (née Constance Burg; a.k.a. Lucy Hamilton) (guitar, vocals), Mark Cunningham (bass), and artist Nancy Arlen (drums), and briefly by guitarist Rudolph Grey. The band played one live gig under the name China before changing it to Mars. They played a mixture of angular compositions and freeform ambient noise music jams, featuring surrealist lyrics and non-standard drumming. All the members were said to be completely untrained in music before forming the band.
