Drywall (also known as plasterboard, wallboard, gypsum panel, or gypsum board) is a panel made of calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) with or without additives and normally pressed between a facer and a backer. It is used to make interior walls and ceilings. Drywall construction became prevalent as a speedier alternative to traditional lath and plaster.
Drywall is a musical project of Los Angeles singer-songwriter Stan Ridgway, which he has variously described as an "electro/experimental noise combo," a "mad apocalyptic project," and "an experiment in terror, a collection of rants, laments and media overload."
Ridgway began the project in 1994 as a trio; with himself on electric guitar, keyboards and vocals, his wife Pietra Wexstun on synthesizer and backing vocals, and former Rain Parade drummer Ivan Knight. In 1995, Drywall released its first album (first of a "trilogy of apocalyptic documents"), titled Work The Dumb Oracle. The second "apocalyptic document," a 30-minute "art film" directed by Carlos Grasso titled The Drywall Incident, was released the same year. An extended, instrumental soundtrack album for The Drywall Incident was released in 1996.
After an extended layoff, Drywall regrouped with a new lineup in 2005 to release the album Barbeque Babylon, the third "apocalyptic document." The new Drywall lineup featured Ridgway, Wexstun and new member Rick King on guitars and bass. Though not an official member of the band, Bruce Zelesnik was also featured on drums and percussion.
Drywall's songs typically explore pessimistic themes such as crime, corruption, social decay, and eschatological prophesies from visionary and satirical viewpoints; employing a wide variety of musical styles ranging from electric blues and rock to Tejano and folk.
