Denise Rosenberg was a keyboard player with punk band Primitive Calculators in the late 70s. Denise, who often played with an expression of amused and mild confusion on her face let her instruments emit a series of complementary/contradictory sounds – harsh/pretty, atonal/melodic but never overdone, never indulgent. She played with complete economy.

ReplyDeleteHi again, just in case you want to update 'my' page. I was possibly the first Australian female synthesizer player, playing a Roland 101 Synth and electric keyboard with the Primitive Calculators from 1978 to 1980, then reforming in 2009 and I left the band in 2015, after hosting Rage in 2014 and touring China in 2015.
ReplyDeleteI then wrote my very first song (Women, take over the planet) when I turned 60 in 2018 and recorded 9 songs under the name of Denise and Dave Sing, with my very old friend Dave Light, who was the bass player in the Primitive Calculators.
All info above is on the website I have been doing for decades primitivecalculators.com. Cheers, DeniseR
Sorry, forgot to add ... I was in a few Little Bands, including Ronnie and the Rhythm Boys (one of the singers) in 1979 and bass player in Thrush and the C unts in 1980 and in the Dogs in Space movie in 1986.
