Loved going to the Agora during it's heyday.But loved hanging out at The New Wave Lounge in Ft. Lauderdale,on the beach on A!A, every weekend,and also got to see some great concerts at Summers On The Beach from time to time.
The Front !and all of these were my very Favs! Thanks for bringing Back Miamik~
Even though I still live in Miami...
It will never be the same~after the 80's~
Mostly tough I think the Front really influenced me~there was never a band with the Mind set such s them, the origional way~they wrote only origional music and never did copys..only led to the blowing of the Mind!!!
Oh that hot bed of rock and roll South Florida! I will be there in few weeks and expect to walk into a bar and have the singer of a band doing a Foreigner cover tune yell "Let me see you put your hands together!..." The Cichlids were totally great. They should get a web site so they can tell their story and sell some CDs.
So when is the movie coming out? Will it be premiered at any South Florida film festivals or anything like that? I was at the concert and would be willing to travel to see this film. Thanks in advance for any info!
As someone who was there thru it all, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was such a magical time for all of us!! Seeing John Morello again brought tears to my eyes! I only wish I could have been there. I've known all these guys what seems like my whole life - since I had a fake ID and went to Tight Squeeze's club in Hollywood ... wow so many memories!!! Thanks so much Diane! :)
I wasn't a part of the South Florida music scene, but did experience something similar growing up close to Detroit. It seemed there was a constant barrage of club bands from Motown and Ann Arbor. . .and there was an Agora. I have many fond and foggy memories of nights spent there. This clip captured the feelings I remember from that time and makes me feel nostalgic and at the same time happy that I was able to experience it. Thanks so much! I can't wait to see this film!
We had an Agora in Cleveland Ohio and in Columbus Ohio. I saw many bands in the 70's at both.

It's all great but what happened to Z Toyz and the Front, 2 great south miami bands that deserve some credit.

Is Rat Bastard on this? Ed Bobb? Or is it just the more 'accessible'(cough)acceptable(cough) stuff... not that that's a bad thing.

Great job Diane!
I can't wait to see the finished product!
You, Martin, Mel T, and everyone else involved should be very proud.
I'm glad I was able to help in some small way.
