Well Here we were our first show ! What were we going to do, what were we going to play ?We Didn't Really have any full songs yet and I really didn't sing and play that good yet.So we decided to Go with the Ramones blitz krig bop. That was easy to play and we learned the whole song end to end.Then a brain storm how about our own song.Well that was it the birth of the first song VD is no laughing matter. It was a 3 chord number with a driving beat and nice and fast.Even had a small drop out where just the bass and drums played and then a glizz into the final verse and out.We also learned God Save The Queen Some what.We Rehearsed a few times in the drummers garage We tightened the songs up as best we could.We were ready !
The First show a talent show in front of the whole student body . This was going to be great ! we were psyched .We were all buzzed on some booze and weed Dressed in our best punk attire.The Crowd was ready for us as well we had advertised and told everyone we were a punk band and we had a crazy punk show.
We were the 3 rd act to go on there was a band going on after us so we knew we had to be good.With a 1,2,3,4 we started off with blitz-krig-bop people rushed the stage they were bopping in the isles camera flashes were going off , chicks screaming.We ended the first song to burst of screams and 1,2,3,4, into VD's No Laughing matter We were Jammin, a fuckin Punk rock Machine we were stars.we ended the song and the place erupted into cheers and screams and chanting "We Want The Clap". we UN-plugged and exited stage left up the hall to a class room they directed us to.We were running People rushed the stage and were chasing us we couldn't believe what was happening they Loved us .We were looking at each other catching our breath and the principle came up to us and said you boys better have something to settle them down with.I said shure and we took the stage for our anchor and belt6ed out what we knew of god save the Queen ! The song ended with me and Rex smashing out notes Robbie kicking down his drums while I shouted out curse words and obesity
What a show what a performance we won 2nd place a $40.00 prize which we put right up our noses that night.That was the beginning of punk in the Lehigh Valley The way I remembered it.The way I lived It.It was such a great time of my life and I am enjoying doing this blog.I hope every one enjoys reading it .
