'Three lesbian sardines!' Shouted by a heckler at a performance by the Dadaist Hugo Ball on stage at the Cabaret Voltaire. Is a perfect title for Nurse With Wound’s final appearance at the ‘Great Monster Dada Show’ at the legendary Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Oslo, 2019. The largest exhibit of dada art and artefacts this century, over 250 artworks by 43 artists including Kurt Schwitters, Jean and Sophie Teuber Arp, Hannah Hoch, John Heartfelt, Tristan Tzara, Max Ernst, Francis Picabia, Raoul Hausmann, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray.
This electric performance captures the band at their most eclectic and playful. Here six tracks feature the classic line up of Steven Stapleton, Andrew Liles and Colin Potter including the toe tapping crowd pleaser ‘Flea Circus’ – a mutant hybrid of Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin and is amongst the best the band have ever recorded. ‘Broken America’ is timely reminder of the dire situation we are all facing with the arrival of Trump’s America.
The cover features stunning new artwork by acclaimed artist Babs Santini.

Review From Juno Records : Nurse With Wound's live album 3 Lesbian Sardines documents the group's last performance, staged at Oslo's Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in 2019. The show formed part of The Great Monster Dada Show, a vast exhibition devoted to the movement, and its title comes from a notorious heckle aimed at German Dadaist Hugo Ball. With Steven Stapleton joined by Andrew Liles and Colin Potter, the set sprawls across six pieces blurring dada absurdism and droning sonic provocation. With freshly hashed artwork by renowned contemporary surrealist Babs Santini, this is a limited edition, 500-copy clampdown on a difficult-to-tame sound, darking out mainly through aerating dub movements and deep instrumental breakdowns.
