Never missed them, even when in school in RI (They played the Living Room a lot).  Still make noise with Joe Pet (drummer) and still in close touch with Rick.

Now think of the early 80's.  This had hit written all over it:

Now this is a LOT darker.

Maybe, "Black boys kill their brothers when the knife is hot.
White boys rape their sisters in the parking lot", was a tad too much then, even now.

Nota bene the Medford reference to the Balaroo roller skating rink (Mystic Ave, long gone)

Live at the Paradise, and not the best recording, and neither demonstrate the remarkable musicianship these folks had, rather that they could write tight diddies with HIT written all over them.

I'm tellin' ya man, Joe Pet and Chet Cahill (bass) were as tight as Geddy Lee and Neil Pert, and I don't throw that sht around lightly.

In Response to Re: Hey old ones - who remembers Luna/Berlin Airlift?:


Kinda was locally, just never broke.

This is what I was looking for.  This is just great stuff.

I remember Luna...

...but it's not the band you're referring to.
