New York, NY
May 18, 1980
soundboard (studio recording, sound quality Ex-; transfer from first-generation tape)
preliminary recording session for debut album, Out for Kicks (two of these are the basic tracks that became album cuts after additional recording and mixing; the others apparently are unreleased — although the group released a groovy promo video for “Brand New Cadillac” using a different backing track.)
Repercussion: Peter Holsapple produced The Zantees’ first single, “Rockin’ In the House” (b/w “Mornin’ Light”), recorded Feb. 1980. Peter also played piano on the subsequent debut album (he was credited as “special guest”). The dB’s live debut as a four-piece with Peter was on a quadruple bill at Irving Plaza, NYC in Oct. 27, 1978 with The Zantees, The Fleshtones and The Cyclones (must've been 'Definite Article Night' at the club…).
