@historyofpunkrock@sfba.social Unimaginable, they didn't have any mascara or painted fingernails :)

Beggars Banquet Records ❤️ I worked with them from 1986 to 1988.
Great memories.
@historyofpunkrock@sfba.social I saw the live in Portsmouth in 1981, with two friends from school. They were awesome!
@historyofpunkrock@sfba.social Saw them at a festival a few years ago in Pasadena. Peter looked amazing with a bald head and beard. The sounded so good. Sad that they fell apart again soon after because of Peter’s struggles with addiction.

BRILLIANT (and dark)!
