kraftwerk, the the, Gino Latino, communards, all the alterna chicks wearing obsession perfume... You damn right I was there in the late 80s chasing some pregoth girls.

I had to fight Hair off me one night at the skinny puppy/severed heads concert. Ogre is literally spitting fake blood all over the audience and she's trying to stick her tongue down my throat.

True story.

I wasn't going to point out that the show was actually across the street at neimans because I knew where that would go.

Bengal, shanahans, cotton club, xanthus and yes neimans was the best run of next-to-eaxh-other clubs ever.

Nothing will ever come close to the 80s club scene. First night I walked into the Bengal as an 18yo and saw 2 Asian chicks with spiked egg white hair dancing to Rock me Amadeus and scritti politi I was IN!

Best years of my life growing up and the music was off the chain.

That must have been after my time (late 80's). I just remember hooking up a lot at that place.

The Bayou

Punk barefoot chicks and free pool in the afternoon

Xanthus

Spiked egg whites hair and lots of slutty makeup

I have to admit I enjoyed both very much

Best record store ever behind the bayou run by Woody "Dr death" Dumas. That's where I first discovered sisters of Mercy, legendary pink dots, colourbox and big audio Dynamite.

My mind was blown.

I think this is probably the most obscure thing ever but does anyone remember the punk band "screaming sirens" playing in BR?

I remember 2 songs that Ive never heard since: "I want to be like Mr T" and "Love Slave". what the frick? I only heard these once and I can still remember the lyrics.

Damn the mid 80s were something else.

Holy shite!! I didn't make this up after all! YouTube just came through in a big way. screaming sirens - love slave!!!

The name is vaguely familiar but I can't say I really remember them. I was the local music show DJ on klsu back then so remember a lot of local bands. The Dick Nixon's I think were pure genius.
