The Shirts-One of the most exciting bands of Big Apple punk scene,a really underground combo with all four musicians beyond Anni Golden, to play keyboards and guitars.Supported once Peter Gabriel,shared a common ground with Blondie and Nuns but never got a serious recognition.Their debut is a classic art punk masterpiece and the next two really very interesting.Due to their preparations for a new album(without Annie)and being reissued,listen to them continiously.Are others to have the same opinion?

I'm a fan of The Shirts. Saw them at The Bottom Line (RIP) in NYC in 1979.Annie Golden of course was in the movie Hair, and contributed a song to the Sixteen Candles soundtrack. Not sure how interested I would be in a Shirts without her.

Did The Shirts do the song "Laugh and Walk Away". Good tune.

I've always heard great things about them but have never heard anything by them. I'd really be interested in tracking down some of their music.
