Just like my brother’s punk rock band. Today He can say that there are even fewer people watching.

That video will make liars out of the 25,000 people who’ve said: “I was at Billie’s first festival show!”

Lady Gaga playing at Nathan Hale HS, Seattle right before her debut album (crap potato video, just for @Franko).
Her show was sponsored by the school student radio station , one of the first stations to play her music.

No video exists of the industrial band I was a part of, or you lot would be treated to A Single Cadaver and I taking turns reading our poems, and all of us (between 3-7 others) bashing a truck door and other large metal objects w/small metal objects, as Mike Dead was breaking lightbulbs and encouraging his guitar to make what should have been impossible noises.

Cindy took her nom d’etage from a line in the spooky AF Public Image Limited song Under the House:
…It went under the house
A single cadaver

I’m friends with a brother and sister who are sometimes known as Joe Malicious and Sue Delicious. Joey’s really a six-and-a-half-foot-plus pussycat, but Sue’s nickname is perfection.
I was dubbed Christine Facetious.
No Broadway ambitions I’m afraid, just a coupla weird broads, with a buncha other weirdos in a weird-ass band, even for the mid-80s!

Yeah, we certainly were a lotsa emojis sort of group, esp the night Dave Aswell trash-picked a red tricycle just before we went on…
The tricycle looked better than it sounded, more’s the pity. It went back in a trash heap after the show: we weren’t about to keep an instrument whose sound was not up to our (warped AF) standards.

LOL You are terribly kind. I love Bogart.
Mr Aswell told me my delivery was a cross between
