Discharge Lounge

Discharge Lounge is a United States group active from 1978 to 1998. It is associated with avant-garde jazz, jazz, jazz fusion and no wave, and is also tagged with jazz, ska, funk, fusion and Gypsy.

The group includes Evan Lurie, John Lurie, Anton Fier, Arto Lindsay, Michele Navazio, Marc Ribot and Erik Sanko. Its music draws on jazz, Gypsy and film music influences, with a theatrical and absurdist approach.

The group is also described as performing in capes and other costume-based presentation, combining its music with a deliberately frivolous stage image.
