No Albuquerque clubs would have anything to do with punk rock . Parties were the venue. My place, Club Rec, the nursery..living rooms and garages all over town. We played with other locals the Pepsi Generation, Korfu, Lace, 27 Devils Joking... Gordy mentioned his friend Manny Rettinger. Manny had a Label called Ubik Sound. He had been in a band call the Martian Funk Ensemble. Manny offered to record us and put out a cassette on his label. Cool. That weekend session resulted in our first record, self
titled; Cracks in the Sidewalk. We played alot from '86 though '88 till our next record Down. We had a good enough rep as a live band to open for many top level punk rock acts traveling through town. Firehose, Butthole Surfers, Meat Puppets, Helmet, Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction....We also were the
first abq band to go to SXSW in Austin. In '88 we went up to Santa Fe to record with Tim Stroh at Stepbridge Studios. We recorded Down in 2 consecutive weekends and that record really solidified our pop-punk creds. Fast, clever and uncompromising. This was vinyl kids! All analog!
GOD IS JOY
