Missing Foundation were an industrial and performance art group from New York City. The band was a huge part of grassroots social and political movements at the time of their original activity, especially the anarchist movement. Political themes are an important element of their music and art. They became famous in the local DIY scene, and had a huge cultural impact in NYC due to their logo, an upside down Martini glass, being spray painted almost everywhere around the city. Musically, they feature heavily with scrap metal percussion, a lot of oil drums and metal sheets, though half of their sound can be attributed to no wave or noise rock.
An interesting fact about the band is that they initially formed in Hamburg, Germany, and briefly had KMFDM members Sascha Konietzko and En Esch in the group before shortly relocating to NYC.
Missing Foundation are still active and releasing music to this day.
