Phil Shöenfelt

Phil Shöenfelt was born in Bradford, England, in 1952. After colliding with the London Punk scene in the mid-1970's, he moved to New York where he formed the post-punk noise band Khmer Rouge. In the early 1980's they supported acts such as Suicide, Tom Verlaine, and The Clash and are featured on the "White Columns Noise Festival Tape" which also includes early versions of Sonic Youth and Swans. In New York they were managed by Nat Finkelstein, author of "The Factory Years" and renowned photographer of The Velvet Underground.
