I know that one reason we didn't become famous is that we over produced our marketing material.

This poster was for a gig that was cancelled. We did a "Variety" show in Sellery Hall at UW Madison and it went bad...in that it was the ultimate punk riot where they didn't realize who were were and didn't know what to do when the beer and lit cigarettes started flying into the tightly packed non punk audience. We had advertised heavily, so what was supposed to be a dorm talent show turned into our own gig with punkers from all over town crowding in with all the unsuspecting dorm kids.

They ended up unplugging us 40 minutes later and there was much damage. Charlie even puked on the head dorm lady.

So Merlyn's cancelled our show because they heard we were too violent.

TRUE STORY!

Nnanji, you simply must find a way to continue your punk dialogue in music to an audience. Why dont you form a band? Just think: You have the best musical years ahead of you. Sure that poster could use some work, but at the time, who gave a flying futz.

Nanjar is just a poser, Real punk rockers don't live past 30.

No, real punk rockers get gigs cancelled because local progressive rock clubs hear that their shows erupt into violence and vandalism!
