Town Managers at WKDU

We ended our tour, essentially, with
2 hometown shows:
One at The Circle of Hope Church in downtown
Philadelphia (the neighbors called the cops who shut the show down minutes
after our last song while a CD of an acoustic folksinger was playing
relatively quietly over the P.A.) and the other was a live radio broadcast
on John Paul's Sunday night punk show on WKDU. We had a small studio
audience including the band Firepussy,
Josh, Kretch, J.P., our roadie and guest bass player Vern Z., and Conal
our dealer -- book dealer, that is. (I bet you didn't know
The Town Mangers were voracious readers! The minute Frick and Rick
would get in the van they'd have a book open. I couldn't get a
conversation going to save my life!) |

That's Conal, Vern and Frick
to the left horsing around before the broadcast. (Like us,
WKDU still uses vinyl.) Conal was our sound effects technician for
the broadcast. He's also my personal friendly computer tech support
dude! He sells used books on the internet and if you like
books as much as we do check out his section at http://www.abebooks.com/. His prices on used books are way better
than those at Amazon.com! |

Rick and Frick listen to the
broadcast from the engineer's booth (right). By the time we
performed it was about 1 in the morning. (It took us a while to get
our monitors to sound just the way we like them, with just a touch
of shrill feedback.) I wonder if anybody was still up
listening. Did anyone tune in? Did anyone tape the
show? (Usually the dj has an on-air tape going, but not this
night.) |

If you're lucky and live in
the right part of Philadelphia you can tune in WKDU at 91.7 on you
FM dial.
That's our invisible naked roadie Vern on the
left. He's the fulltime bassist for The Nasties
now!
(They've got the
funk.) |

This is John Paul, our WKDU
host (on the left) with friend, Josh.

Here is Audray (of Firepussy
fame) with Kretch, rounding out the "studio
audience".
