I lived in South Florida from 1981-1986, these guys were one of the first punk bands in Fl.

Is it true Robert Mascaro is in a brain dead coma?

Last I'd heard he had a stroke, we lost touch in the early 80's....

I would'nt have guessed Debbie was ill. She's WAILIN'. And workin' the stage! ONE OF THE BEST VERSIONS OF A (Now) over - covered classic I've heard.

Holy eggs, we're all getting old. I'm homesick. For the 20th century.

I downloaded their album by chance from someone's SLSK folder a long time ago. Really solid, fun stuff. Every song's pretty great if I remember right.

@arthurteagarden i just bought their lp in a thrift store in pooler, GA along side bj thomas, and frank sinatra for 90 cents. my decision was based on the song UPS and DOWNS by paul revere and the raiders. for them to cover the song, i knew they had great tatse. i love this video. awesome
