[New York, NY] an accessible mix of
post-punk, blues rock, glam, and punk n roll sounds but in reality proto-punk which
makes them even more amazing: the sounds are rightfully theirs – basically a
genuine classic old-school rock band insofar as the music, the talent, the
stage presence and the look, especially Mick-Jagger’s-doppelganger David
Johansen singing in his frilly shirt – only other original member of the band
was Sylvain Sylvain in a little salmon-colored beret (he charmingly joined
Black Joe on stage) – my favorite might have been the heavily eyelinered goth-esque
guy on bass guitar who was wearing an incongruent pinstriped shirt and black
vest and baseball cap (?) – enjoyed the lack of pretension and posturing – “Stranded
in the Jungle,” “Personality Crisis,” original version of “Trash” followed by a
reggae version of it (Photo courtesy of
