Our first gig together was at Peter Ball's Fourth of July party, held at the Ball mansion in Bratenahl.

Thanks mate for the Savages, keep 'em coming. Hands down the best Rock & Roll zine of the 90s. We had here in Greece a brother mag of this, it was called the Thing! About 30 issues in Greek, only two in English. If you interested, shoot me to pdf them for ya.
