    Los Microwaves had been touring "coast to coast" for 3 years when, upon relocating to New York City from San Francisco, Interview Magazine’s Glenn O’Brien wrote them up as "possibly the greatest rock band ever". After 2 more national tours, an LP on Poshboy records, and 4 cult hit singles the band played their last show at New York’s Danceteria in April of 1983.

    The main line-up included vocalist-bassist Meg Brazil, vocalist-keyboardist David Javelosa, and drummer-bassist Todd "Rosa" Rosencrantz. The fourth member floated at times between Caroline Canning on percussion on the west coast, and Pilar Limosner on keyboards and fire-dancing, on the east coast. The band had played venues in every major city in the US, most college towns, and performed on tour with such bands as Gang of Four, Bow Wow Wow, X, Wall of Voodoo, Danny Elfman's Oingo Boingo, 999, Romeo Void, Book of Love, and XTC; to name a few.

    Creating sound and music from the fusion of techno-punk, new wave pop, and avant-sala, Los Microwaves featured a quirky audio theater that was best experienced live from the dance floor. Sporting a combination of early portable synthesizers, bass and processed percussion, the music continues to deliver a unique groove, even by today’s electronica standards.
