Above are a Danceteria pass & ad from the Village Voice from February 13, 1986. It was the one & only time I played the mainstage there. The other gig I played there was a rooftop No Entiendes party thrown by Howie Montaug which had to be one of the wildest nights of my life...you would've had to have been there.
Also pictured are myself & my great friend (more like a brother really), Steve. Following the break up of our two bands (Chappaquiddick & Borscht), and our move to NYC in 1984, we performed as a duo - sort of a punk Simon & Garfunkel - at the first versions of Lach's Anti Folk nights in the loft Steve shared with Lach. We also did open mic nights where we could, and also just busked in the streets, and later CBGB & the aforementioned No Entiendes party. Eventually we got the Lowboys together which lasted a year, maybe two, and then fell apart due to various shenanigans. They were great days. The photos above are of Steve & I playing at and standing in front of CBGB.

Oh, man! The PMRC! Great stuff!
Those were the days. Senators' wives POSITIVE the Mentors and Prince were sending us all to hell. Good times, good times.
You got some great stuff here...keep it coming!
