We rented a rehearsal space in the neighboring town of Sayville for the year of 1980 and then all moved in to NYC in 1981 into a loft on 6th Ave and 8th St in Greenwich Village. Andre wrote most of the songs and sang them, I wrote Crystalized but he sang it, as I never learned to sing at all. We only played around NYC and recorded two demo tapes, we never toured or released any albums. This is the second line up of the band, we were originally a four piece with a different keyboard player, Marc Manley. He left in 1982 and we added another guitar and different keyboard player, both from Connetquot High School in Long Island. We disbanded in 1983. #cbgb #newwave #newwavemusic #newwave80s #newwave80
