The Alter Boys

1) We recorded a 7” single (Piles backed with Gimmie What I Want/Buk’s Song) that got us a profile in the first issue of Spin magazine (thanks Regina Joskow) and some label interest. We figured we would need a producer to help us with the “Big Breakthrough”. We met Handsome Dick Manitoba from interviewing him for Mark’s fanzine “The Poisoned Pen”, and Manitoba steered us to Andy Shernoff. Andy worked with us to try and meld the “punk thing” with a sheen of professionalism (the jury’s still out on that).
