1974
8-18-74:
CBGBs, NY.
Lineup: The Slaves of Rhythm, Snake
Reviews: "Act is a novelty for this
Bowery bistro, where rock and other music generally holds forth. For
this reason, it fascinates many auditors. But the yocks don't keep coming.
Much of the sketch is a drag in more ways than one." Kirb, Variety
Magazine, 9-74. Read entire review.
9-27/29-74:
CBGBs, NY
Lineup: Rose, Plenty
10-31-74:
CBGBs, NY
Lineup: Savage Voodoo Nuns, Blondie, Ramones
Reviews:"Kate
Parker as B.M. ("short for the Blessed Mother") and an assortment of
glitter guys and gals (Fayetta, John Flowers, Arturo, John Hayes, Montana
and Tomato du Plenty) as some outrageous nuns, mother superiors, 'ho's
and god knows what else. Funniest scene is where a "747 to heaven" is
hijacked to hell by Fayetta as Lady Satan.
The songs are take-offs of pop standards ("Black
is black/I want my habit back") and the jokes cornily appealing ("She's
fallen off more laps than' a cocktail napkin"). And there's even a douche
race, with contestants opting for Coke, vinegar and the real thing (I
guess).", R.B., Soho News, 11-74. Read
entire review (also talks about Ramones).
