Photo Filler (A memoir)

This is one of my first Richmond apartments- it's 1986ish, so I was 19-20 years old. That is me looking into the wardrobe, probably searching for Narnia.

It wasn't there.

This is part of an early incarnation of Electric Whip circa 1986 and the only pic of me playing that I can find.I don't know where this was taken, probably at a party. I still have the guitar- the hair is gone. That's Jorge and Bobby. Jorge later founded Bio Ritmo. Bobby was already schizophrenic and would get much worse over the ten or so years that we played together.
He was a great drummer though.

This is a handbill, year unknown, probably 1987-88. Art by Greg, our bassist. By then, I'd developed a reputation for acting strangely on stage, and this poster spoofs on that. For a long time this was only an act.

We'd sneak out at night, usually in pairs, and furtively plaster the campus area with fliers before our shows- laws were passed to stop us and our ilk from doing this, but we persisted and eventually the campus cops gave up trying to stop it.
Nowdays, you'd be secretly videotaped, arrested and probably jailed if you tried to post handbills on campus outside the moderated kiosks.

Then again, every band has a myspace now...
