P.S. I still treasure my "Button Up" 7-inch. :)

thanks and aw shux, Greg. there aren't many of those singles around. I still have a copy of "Too many Creeps" that Laura gave me back in 81. :D

I'm in socal so I won't get to see either show, but hope it helps Laura in time. (Lenny is a saint/bridge between generations).

She has/d a one of a kind seamonster sound on the bass and defined a style as surely as Pat paved the way for Thurston et al with her slide and noise guitar. The way they all stood too, skinnylegged ultra downtown swagger so time defining, and Laura rocked the pointy new wave english boots like no other.

somewhere I have a very early flyer for a gig at tr3 made of a strip of photobooth fotos for each tetra just laid down on the copier.

really sez it. if i find it, i'll post it round.

I believe it! I bought my copy of the Bloods 7-inch (and the first two Tetras singles) when I was in high school circa 1982-83, down at Bondy's in Park Row I believe.
I was too young to see them live at the time, but I did catch them at a 1995 reunion show at Knit Fac.
My band's manager/producer Hillary did some engineering work for them in recent years which is how we ended up on the benefit bill....

best
Greg
