I met Bradly when i first moved to nyc in 1987. he was working for Richard Hell's girlfriend at the time (amanda). Bradly was soon to succumb to Aids. I was sad to hear of his passing. I always liked a drummer with one drum and one cymbal. in London, he played standing up. I remember being knocked out by them. If I close my eyes, I can still see them all in a line.

I was a...Yes, that's the same Paradise Garage. I was at that gig, as a callow youth of 18, on my first visit to NYC. I shot some Super 8 footage of it, along with other tidbits. Some day I'll find someone who can digitize it so that i can post it...if I remember correctly, the TJJ line-up was LL, Jim Sclavunos on bass, and Bradly (not Bradley) Field (not Fields) on drum (not drums). I think that was the only time I saw the Voidoids (which is not as much fun to say while eating squid as "He saw the Voidoids fifty times!") I also caught DNA and Rastakwair (later Rosa Yemen) at the Kitchen, and an evening of short pieces at Jeffrey Lohn's loft that included Lohn, Branca, and Tim Wright, pre-DNA. A fun week.Serena WmS.

I've actually seen footage of the Contortions & Teenage Jesus from the gig, but have never heard much about it or read anything. Pretty cool stuff.JamesChanceOfficialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517788409617221144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904259.post-53848378880656084892010-12-10T15:23:12.425-05:002010-12-10T15:23:12.425-05:00Wha????
