This link was posted by someone on facebook. It’s from a piece written in 2010 by Kristian Hoffman, who was in the Mumps, and played with James Chance, Lydia Lunch, and Klaus Nomi. He had a band called The Swinging Madisons. He wrote the song Belinda.
This is easily the best thing I’ve ever read about what a night was like in those years. He didn’t know me, but I knew him, and the Vodka sisters, and Bradlee Field and have been in all those places, and know that van, and the rehearsal space, and it’s dead-on.
Thank you for this!
