Dec 7, 2010 - The fab faux British accent only adds to this perfect pop punk little num-bah! Saw these boys at Max's regularly and for one brief shining moment they really were THE NEXT BIG THING!

Dec 3, 2011 - Hi, the club on 57th street was Trax, I believe. It had a nice hardwood dancefloor and rain lights...the decor was a little more disco-ish than most of the downtown punk clubs were the Speedies usually played...but I can remember there were many Speedies shows at Trax...I was at most of them. Other clubs, just for the memories, were Ritz, Heat, Danceteria, Tier3, Dirt Club, let's not forget the Palldium or Club 57(Irvington Plaza)...

Dec 3, 2011 - and of course Max's( where I met David Bowie at a Speedie show) and CB's, and some outliers...in Boston, Washington or Philly...there was one in Allentown PA that totally rocked. Did I miss any? I can't recall the name of the small place on 72nd where I met Carlos Alomar at a Speedie's show(Bowie's guitarist). If you know these then contact me...this is Josh, and I was probably there when you were.
