Ollie Stench,

Good memory did you see shows at the Mabuhay back in the day????
I use to have this flyer of the Nuns, Crime and the Mutants live at the Mab....


The Dils/ No Alternative Drummer---Zippy Pinhead
No Alternative Gutarist---Johnny Geno

Nope, I never got the chance to see CRIME. I was 9 in '77 and have lived in Minneapolis my entire life. The closest I ever came was seeing about 45 seconds of video of CRIME at the prison show they played.

Throbbing Gristle and their lead singer Genesis P Orridge.

"Through being cool"

In my old age my memory is getting foggy, but I remember a guy in some punk band (I think the Sick F*cks) named Harry Verderci.

You Know.... I'm going to have to resurect this old topic because they're far too many personal nick names or even real names in the New Wave/Punk Rock world that we have to mention more we have not scratched the surface.



Essential Logic/X Ray Spex

How about:


Individuals-

Jello Biafra - Dead Kennedys (Both names are cool)

Hogg - Huang Chung/Wang Chung
Stiv Bators
Derf Scratch and Spit Stix of Fear

Bands-

From what I've been able to discern "Stiv Bator(s)" was his real name. Everyone called him "Steve", but his parents were from Eastern Europe where Stiv is a common name.

Then again, I may be totally off base.

How's about a couple of obvious ones? Joe Strummer (aka John Mellors)-and the whole Ramone family?

As for band names-too many good ones-as I've been wallowing in 80s psych these days how about: Plastic Land, Rain parade, Dream Syndicate, Green on Red,

I think that is true about stiv, however, I don't think Jack and Bernice Chrome named their little boy Cheetah
