Smegma

There are several bands under the name Smegma: a noise/free music band currently based in Portland, Oregon, a German skinhead band which called their style of music "Schrammel Oi!", a Dutch grindcore band who shared a split EP with Agathocles in 1991, and more. Also the name of a Costa Rican shitcore band. The picture is Portland's version of Smegma. The songs are (obviously) mostly not. Smegma is an American experimental noise group formed in Pasadena, California in 1973 by Ju Suk Reet Meate and several others and is currently based in Portland, Oregon.

Originally part of the Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) movement of the 1970s, Smegma is one of the few music collectives of that era still active today. Author Richard Meltzer was their vocalist in the late 1990s, for seven years.

The group was included in the Nurse With Wound list and more recently was featured on the cover of the August 2006 edition of The Wire.
