History

Shields, based in Dublin, Ireland, and Thorpe, based in Troy, NY, started to collaborate years after their respective former bands had toured together in the 1990s. Thorpe says of her and Shields' decision to start the Wounded Knees, “He told me he was working on some material [and] it turned out that... our ears were at the same place, our emotional states were at the same place, and we were just locked into a similar path. We were feeling pretty empathetic toward each other [1]”

The Wounded Knees released the All Rise EP on limited-edition 10" brown vinyl on Specific Recordings in 2008.[2] All Rise was mixed by Kevin Shields and features guitar work by J Mascis on the song, "Dirty (aka Dirty Exploding Sonic Dogfight)".[3]

In the fall of 2008, the Wounded Knees played a handful of tour dates supporting the newly reformed My Bloody Valentine. In December 2009, the band performed at the My Bloody Valentine-curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival 'A Nightmare Before Christmas'.

gollark: Maybe I should adapt the potatOS privacy policy as a code license.
gollark: MPL?
gollark: There is also the "secondary processor exemption" thing, which caused the Librem people to waste a lot of time on having a spare processor on their SoC load a blob into the SoC memory controller from some not-user-accessible flash rather than just using the main CPU cores. This does not improve security because you still have the blob running with, you know, full control of RAM, yet RYF certification requires solutions like this.
gollark: It would be freer™, in my opinion, to have all the firmware distributed sanely via a package manager, and for the firmware to be controllable by users, than to have it entirely hidden away.
gollark: So you can have proprietary firmware for an Ethernet controller or bee apifier or whatever, but it's only okay if you deliberately stop the user from being able to read/write it.
