Only recently have legit recordings surfaced from this legendary Cleveland
70s proto-punk gang, and 27 years after they broke up, they're in the WFMU
studios playing live yet again. They're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame, but they're responsible for undeniable punk classics like "Sonic
Reducer", "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" and "Ain't It Fun" (covered by Guns and
Roses for crying out loud). Richard Lloyd of Television takes over guitar
duties for the late Peter Laughner, and David Thomas (visionary of Pere
Ubu among other things), Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys), Steve Mehlman and Craig
Bell are all in the WFMU studio today, fresh from a jawdropping appearance
at Thomas's Disastodrome fest in L.A. Holy hell.
