East Coast Angels - Punk Rockin'

• Punk Rockin' / To-nite's The Nite
7" - Ruby/EMI Records - RUB 207 - June 1977 - no PS, 500 copies pressed

Good pub-rock style punk rock and one of the few Dublin 1977 singles to make it into Henrik Poulsen's book "77: The Year of Punk and New Wave." The E.C. Angels were finalists at the Limerick Civic Week Pop '78 competition which was eventually won by U2.

In 1978 Gaynor and Hannigan formed The Romantiks. Gaynor and Dave Flanagan were later in The Shy. Jimmy Gaynor also fronted his own Jimmy Gaynor Band. An earlier East Coast Angel (Brendan ??) (bass) was later in The Business.
