I went to Coventry twice to check out bands, hoping for another Dolls, or something. I saw Luger, Butch, Bangzoom,& Teenage Lust (who at least had a campy Vegas-like show). Everybody cld play decently, even professionally but the songs blew dead rats...& the flashy star trip ringed false...so punk was inevitable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12527609.post-88950176095775756112010-06-02T09:18:17.096-05:002010-06-02T09:18:17.096-05:00I own one of the only extant photos of Sniper, but...I own one of the only extant photos of Sniper, but it's after Jeff Hyman (Joey Ramone) was dumped. I also have a copy of their demo. As for what happened to the other members, Bob Butani joined Tuff Darts and Frank Infante went on to play with Blondie. I don't know what became of Danny (guitar), Pete (bass), or the drummer, whose name I forget.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12527609.post-24745131466555477042007-07-29T17:53:00.000-05:002007-07-29T17:53:00.000-05:00I saw one memorably Dolls / Dix show at Coventry w...I saw one memorably Dolls / Dix show at Coventry when I was a snobby Manhattan groover who only found his way because my girlfriend was from Astoria and knew her way around Queens. I'm sure the only other time I'd been on the 7 was to go to the World's Fair. Anyway, a few years later, I'm married to said g/f and living in Astoria and we go to check out a large Korean restaurant on Queens Boulevard -- and it suddenly hits us that this was Coventry. Pretty funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
