Description
Signing to Warner Bros. in 1974, Ivers and his co-producer, free jazz bassist Buell Neidlinger, delivered Terminal Love, which at times suggests the work of Captain Beefheart; indeed, Magic Band/Frank Zappa collaborator Eliot Ingber appears on several tracks. A self-titled album for Warner followed in 1976, and a year later, Ivers earned arguably his most enduring fame, writing and recording "In Heaven (The Lady in the Radiator Song)" for David Lynch's classic film Eraserhead. (The song was later covered by another Boston act of some note, the Pixies.) A 1980 single, "Love Theme from Filmex," closed out his recording career, and during the early '80s, Ivers hosted New Wave Theatre, broadcast on the fledgling USA cable network as part of their Friday evening Night Flight anthology; the series provided the first (and in some cases only) national TV exposure for Los Angeles area bands like the Blasters, Dead Kennedys, and dozens of others. With his outrageous wardrobe, philosophical interview questions, and rapid-fire social commentaries, Ivers was a most unconventional host, and many of the artists featured on the show made their distaste for him painfully clear. Ivers was bludgeoned to death in his L.A. apartment in 1983, and many suspected the murderer was a member of the local punk scene. The killer was never found, but in Ivers' memory, Harvard University initiated the Peter Ivers Visiting Artist Program. The retrospective Nirvana Peter appeared on Warner in 1985.
