Hi,
I saw my band, The Treble Boys listed here. We were regulars at the club circa ’82-’83 and were the first band picked by Hilly for the CBGB TV Show. If you’d like to link to a little page of ours here it is:

Thanks!

This is such a great list
It basically defines me. Great job! I cant wait to actually see CBGB’s!!!!
Comment by Rose — February 1, 2010 @ 3:45 am
Another psychobilly band not on the list that played CBGBs frequently throughout the late 80s and early 90s was Flash Cooney and the Deans of Discipline. Their album “Horror-Glitter-Transvesto-Billy” was recorded live at CBGBs and produced by Celluloid Records. Here is a video from their 1990 Halloween performance:

Please add them to the list!
