| The first band Joceylin and I attempted was a band with Wendy West and Larry Gone in 1980. June Beard (from NBJ), was on drums and it was called ALTERED FEATURES. Our one gig was at The Bucket at Fresno State and I set up my boombox on record at the back of the club to record our set. The interesting thing wasn't the band, we mostly sucked, but a couple of guys who noticed an unattended tape recorder rolling, saw an opportunity and took it upon themselves to make comments about the band as we played our set. At the time I was ticked. But, what was I thinking leaving an unattended tape recorder running with a bunch of drunk guys standing around? It's funny as hell now. In a thuggish voice: "Hey man......what's up? (chuckle)...I don't know but these guys really suck.....(chuckle chuckle)jukebox!, jukebox!, jukebox! .....who are these guys?.....I don't know, but they sure suck......(chuckle chuckle)" ALTERED FEATURES did some recording at Fresno City College but shortly thereafter we went our separate ways. |
