I think around '81 Club 57 started hosting parties at Irving Plaza. A Ukrainian sponsor/host (Stanley?) would dare the punks to throw beer cans and bottles at him on stage. (They obliged.)
I remember the Invaders and Regina and the Red Hots.
Whatever happened to Regina Richards?
Did Chris Spedding and the B-52s also play here, or was that later in the life of Irving Plaza?
Wow--just zoned on Nervus Rex--what about Lauren Agnelli? Where are all the NY Rock babes of yore?
cheers to my NYC pals--see you at The Baroness' Fetish Retinue on Sunday...
