Christian Death - Strapping Me Down

But the Guns did not speak at the seminar, the central venue of which was the dirty punk club “CBGB” in the disadvantaged area of ​​Manhattan, where rogue groups usually played: Fetchin 'Bones, Mojo Nixon, Zeitgeist, Agitprop. The main event of the festival was an unexpected breakthrough of the indie rockers REM (thanks to the radio colleges), which gave new hope to all young groups. On July 8, Vicki Hamilton came to New York and went to a party in honor of the release of the album “Velvet Kiss” by a group of Los Angeles shugeysers Lions & Ghosts, whom the record company called “new REM”. Some Guns members were also there, including Todd Crew, who seemed stoned (even rather dead). Vicki saw Todd steal a box of beer at a party and disappear.
