About this episode

DaWillys - Live at McGovern’s in NYC - June 18, 1990DaWillys were one of the coolest bands on the NY scene in the late ’80s and early ’90s. They weren’t garage; they weren’t punk, at least not in the traditional sense. Some lumped them in with the nascent “Scum Rock” scene, but to this day, I’m not sure that’s accurate.The “Philippe Marcade” they bring up to play harmonica on “Kitchen Action” is the singer of The Senders.The intro was done by the band’s manager, Chet.Lynne Von Schlicting - vocals Leon Ross - guitar Peter Landau - drumsAs to bass… I can’t remember if Willy was still there or if he’d handed the tennis ball - yes, really - to Jenna McGrath.Leon died in the early ’90s. Willy moved to Pennsylvania. Pete Landau now lives in California. Jenna’s been in Texas, NY, and - from what I hear - is now somewhere out west. Lynne kept going, first w/the Trick Babys and then The Carvels. These days she has a band called The Vondells.
