Yet another of those crazy underground 80s bands I knew nothing of. Nina Hagen vibes.
It has been said that the lyrics of “Janitor” were derived from a real-life conversation between Sue “Su Tissue” McLane and friend Brian Smith. According to Smith, the two were conversing in a loud room when they first met:
She asked me what I did for a living. I said “I’m a janitor,” and she thought I said “Oh my genitals.”
It gets weirder. Shortly after their debut album the band split up. Su Tissue released an almost completely instrumental piano album called “Salon De Musique” a few years later and then… she vanished.
“I myself have not seen nor heard from Su since the Suburban Lawns split.”
— Suburban Lawns drummer Chuck Roast
