Marco on the Bass has a terrific interview with Paul Gil, the original bassist for The NY Citizens (as well as for its previous incarnation as Legal Gender). It's a must read.
The Duff Guide to Ska has a particular interest in the NYCs (they were one of our favorite bands back in day--one of the best ska shows I've ever seen was The NY Citizens and The Scofflaws at The Pyramid in May 1989). We've done some documenting of this band on our own--read this, this, and this. Also check here, here, and there.
Thanks Steve! I appreciate the kind comments and the link. I really enjoyed interviewing Paul and loved his story about Kid Coconuts squaring off with Joey Ramone!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! And I can totally see The Kid getting in Joey's face. The guys I know from the NYCs are really nice, but if you do them wrong, they won't hesitate to let you know about it! That's just how they were/are...
