Nurse With Wound presents 3 Lesbian Sardines, a live recording from their performance at the legendary Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Oslo, 2019, as part of the "Great Monster Dada Show" - the largest exhibit of Dada art and artifacts this century. Available as a limited edition of 500 copies on neon green vinyl, the album captures the band's final appearance at this historic exhibition featuring over 250 artworks by 43 artists including Kurt Schwitters, Jean and Sophie Teuber Arp, Hannah Höch, Tristan Tzara, Max Ernst, Francis Picabia, Raoul Hausmann, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray.

The album's title derives from a heckler's shout at a performance by Dadaist Hugo Ball on stage at the Cabaret Voltaire, making it a perfect title for Nurse With Wound's contribution to this celebration of avant-garde art. The performance captures the band at their most eclectic and playful, featuring the classic lineup of Steven Stapleton, Andrew Liles, and Colin Potter. The six-track recording showcases the group's remarkable range, from the crowd-pleasing "Flea Circus" - described as a mutant hybrid of Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin and among the best the band has ever recorded - to "Broken America," a timely commentary on contemporary political realities. The performance demonstrates why Nurse With Wound has remained at the forefront of experimental music for over four decades.

This electric performance reveals the band's ability to channel the spirit of Dada while maintaining their distinctive sonic identity. The Oslo concert environment, surrounded by historic avant-garde artworks, provided the perfect context for the trio's exploration of sound, chance, and artistic rebellion. The release features stunning new artwork by acclaimed artist Babs Santini, complementing the neon green vinyl presentation. The limited nature of this pressing - only 500 copies - makes it an essential addition for collectors and fans of experimental music.

3 Lesbian Sardines stands as both historical document and contemporary artistic statement, capturing a unique moment when Nurse With Wound's experimental vision intersected with the revolutionary spirit of the Dada movement.
