I will consider adding him, but you're going to have to add the albums if we do.

Hailing from Endicott NY, avant garde rock experimentalist Gary Wilson has been making music since his childhood, playing a stand up bass at age ten for his school band. At age twelve Wilson would acquire a tape machine and would record music in his parents basement, around this time he would become fascinated with rock'N roll. Shortly after he would start playing an organ and would play in a short lived garage psych band called Lord Fuzz. In 1969 Wilson discovered the music of John Cage and would even meet with him, Cage would give Wilson the advice "If your music/performance doesn't irritate people, you aren't doing your job" and since then Wilsons music would take an experiential turn. In 1976 Wilson would record his most infamous album "You Think You Really Know Me" and with help from his new band The Blind Dates. His stage presence would be very bizarre, often using duck tape on his body and bed sheets, flour, milk and fake blood would also be common at his shows. In 1978 he would move to California thanks to him being under a new label and would record two EPs titled Forgotten Lovers and a more rock'N roll influenced EP tilted Invasion Of Privacy, they wouldn't gain much traction at the time however he would receive fan mail from The Residents, Wilson would tour in 1981 before leaving the music scene for twenty years. In the early 2000s a record label called Motel Records would attempt to search for the musician, even going as far to hire a private detective but were unsuccessful at the time, they would eventually find him through ex band members, once the label found him he would give permission to repress You Think You Really Know Me and would also start playing live again and would release an updated version of Forgotten Lovers. Shortly after Wilson would join the label Stones Throw and would release his album "Mary Had Brown Hair" and would be the first album in nearly thirty years to have original material. The album would have a huge change in sound, the album being made completely of electronic instruments, this would from then on be Gary's trademark sound
