Fried my ears at U-Lowell in the early 80's. Awesome band!

Makes me laugh, in a good way. I stumble on this and all the sudden I feel old er.

We hired the Stompers for a fraternity party at Babson College. All time great party. I saw them last summer at the Hampton Casino with the Fools. Ernie and the Automatics also played (Barry Goudreau on guitar). What a flashback. Sal is big, bald, but still sounds great. Great memories.

A weekend at Uncle Sams in Hull with The Stompers was a perfect rock and roll night! The perfect late 70's band with a 50's twist. Those were the times when good music said "never die". What the f happened?

The Old Forge Tavern on Rte 138 in Easton; outdoors at the East Bridgewater Commercial Club; and many, many, many great nights at The Channel on the skanky banks of Fort Point Channel in Bosssston. Good times.

Amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing!

I'm the guy responsible for their first major label signing to BoardWalk Records (Neil Bogart's last label). Even though I was the VP Finance, I'd been in enough garage bands in the Bronx and Boston (NU grad) that I knew great music when I heard it. I arranged a showcase for the label President, Irv Biegel, myself and Bruce Bird, our Sr VP of A&R. What sealed the deal was Sal's cover of "Under the Boardwalk".
