Punks and Wavers Wanted
I'm so wound about this project, that I can't wait until it happens. That said, I'll have to wait, since it "will take a large amount of time to coordinate, assemble and complete." A selfish sigh.
At question here is a compilation CD, or CDs, produced by Jason Rerun (co-host of KDHX's "Scene of the Crime") and Matt Harnish (founder of Bert Dax Cavalcade of Stars Recors and bassist-about town).
According to a handsome pink flyer spotted at KDHX, and we paraphrase: "First and foremost, we are looking for band members from Punk, Hardcore, New Wave, Post Punk, Power Pop, etc. band from the late 70's through the mid 80's. We are interested n band from the St. Louis metro area, but will consider bands from slightly further away as long as they had some type of St. Louis connection/fan base. We also want to hear from show promoters, club/bar owners, photographers (pro, hobbyists and one time picture snappers alike are welcome), fan/magaine publishers and writers/contributors, scenesters, rabid showgoers, local pack rat historians and general folks who were around when Punk and 'New Wave' hit the streets of St. Louis. A booklet or fazine will accompany the compilation(s) with history, notes, picture, anecdotes, etc."
Interested parties should contact: stlwavepunk@hotmail.com.
I'm heading into my basement right now to start digging through the archives. Well, maybe tomorrow. These things take timem after all.
