D'oh! Sorry I did not credit you initially! My blunder.
Here's the original
Recent(ish), but not current! This was from '05. We stopped playing as a unit after the 20th anniversary show in January, 2006. It was a good run.
Good to see the TBW! is still noise-ificating...!

- About Me
- Arrived in B-ton the fall of 1985 to attend IU. Got into the music scene right away. Started TBW! (with others) in Spring of 1986. Worked at Karma Records, then the IMU, as well as various food gigs... Uptown, etc. Hung out with the WQAX/wfhb folks some, but never was a dj. Also spent much time at the NoBar in Muncie. I think I blended into the overall scene a bit, so was not high profile. I was usually there, however. Ran out of money and patience for school in the mid-'90s and moved, with TBW! bandmates, to Louisville, KY. It's pretty cool here and some people even like noise! I am currently a hair sylist at a mellow/crazy/punk/industrial place in L-ville, Kaleidoscope Salon.

- Heyo Matt - I added the 1987 Spud Zero Waffles gig to my playlist (& The N.I.D.S.). It ends with a pleasing audience free-for-all. If I knew how to embed the link to the audio directly here, I'd do it.

Sorry I haven't written back, yet. I did meet W. Walter at the drum-along. It was a good time, for sure!
Hope you're well...

Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992.
If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!
