Nice with the Deer Tick shirt @timmiller.bsky.social. I'm closer to @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social's age, but appreciate it.

Yeah probably a pretty common band name, but cool to dig up this tidbit. Sounds like these guys were earlier 80s too, though definitely was late 80s I saw them. Betting what happened was they just reformed to open this show since they shared members with the two headliners.

I remembered the Drummer's name was Tad and found this. Definitely related to both Fellows and Scruffy. www.reddit.com/r/vintageobs...

The bands seemed to know each other, and I think the drummer also played with either Scruffy or the Fellows.

About the same time, saw a hilarious show in Boston with them—or a band by the same name—along with Scruffy the Cat and Young Fresh Fellows. Of the hundreds of club shows I saw, that one always stands out as the funniest, and probably the only one where I remember all 3 bands on a set 40 years later

Red Sox fan who lived through 86, but definitely the worst non-Sox loss I can remember.

I did a really bad Howard Cosell impersonation on a parody newscast I recorded in 5th grade. But that was 3-4 years before Weekend Update premiered, so I was ahead of my time in doing parody newscasts.

1974 I was 13 and began my decade of obsessively recording Casey’s year end countdown on my parents reel to reel deck (later switching to cassettes). Never imagined people would still be listening to and tweeting his weekly countdowns 50 years later.
