The Nozones - 1980

The Nozones were videotaped at the WELM Public Access TV Studios, East Lansing, Michigan in 1980. Singer, songwriter & lead guitarist was Jon Stauffer. The drummer was Steve Shelley, who is now a member of the band Sonic Youth. Bass guitarist was Scott Fagersten.

This performance was cablecast on WELM-TV on both the "Minority Derelict Wrestling Show II" and on the "Syntax" shows in 1980-1981.

I ran camera for this piece [which I transferred from my betamax video collection], and is called "Personality". Note: The audio sync is off in some places; this is due from the original recording; 3 cameras were used, unfortunately the studio wasn't really set up well for audio recording

The other 2 surviving songs
are "Top 40" and
"Don't Want to listen no more"

I used to watch MDWS in the early 80's. I'd love to see a episode.

One of my roommates at MSU always said something about going to "the studio"... found out later that this was the MDWS show; at that time I was involved in producing the successor show "MDWS II" ! We renamed this later to Syntax. I still have some pieces of the MDWS II show on video though...
