The Clap Unlimited "now we are serous "

 We started playing a lot more bars we weren't even 21, they would Keep us in the dressing room or in the kitchen  until we played.Our manager wouldn't let us get high or drink or do anything before we played,this made us a little different than the norm. especially for a punk band we weren't all fucked up. We were on adrenaline and nothing else that is how it was in the beginning.Our management took on the name:The Clap Unlimited, They also with the help of Ed Motley started booking Bands  at this club the lighthouse located in Hanover township Near the airport.It was surrounded by cornfields,The cops never shut this place down for noise.I thought This was the perfect venue to bad they turned it into a bed and breakfast now.Any way the shows were fun one night before we went on we had to piss, we were going on after 2 more songs that was our Que.We were in this room they kept us in on the second floor, the only way to the bathroom was down a spiral stairs and through the crowd.Me and mike were pissing in empty glasses and a planter.Robbie opened a window and started pissing out it,It was right above the front entrance .well The owner and a few other people were coming in at the time and shit hit the fan. we got bitched at for throwing water out the window we were laughing so hard we couldn't stop Just thinking some of the people watching us were just pissed on,

     The Band Played many show at the lighthouse In the late 70's and early 80's they opened For many of the punk bands that played there.They also arranged there own hall shows and sold tickets for them,some were very successful and even sold out.these were good times for THE CLAP It helped us mature and tighten up our set to have a professional act so we would be taken seriously .We wanted to record and get a record deal.!
