As mention else were on this site. I had a high school band called The Sonic Reducers. We parted ways with our singer and somehow we found ex-Presstones singer Jimmy Freeze! Jimmy re-named the band The Twisted Hearts and we practiced in the basement of my parents home in Brighton. Jimmy shows up and sez we have a gig at Scorgies!!! It was opening for STIFF recording artists WIld Willy Barrett & John Otway.
We played the gig. As I remember there wasn’t a lot of people there but I really didn’t care. I was finally on the stage where I would see New Math, The Hi-techs, The Bowery Boys, Delroy Rebop and many more!!!
Please post your first Scorgies gig!!!

My first gig was opening for New Math with the Hi-Techs. A highlight was Natasha sending me a dozen roses at the club with an apology for not being able to be there. I only knew her from the coffeeshop near Eastman where she worked but it was a great gesture that impressed the un-impressible bartenders at Scorgies.
I talked to Geoff beforehand about stage fright. He told me it only lasted until you heard 1.2,3,4…I believed him and never had an issue with it. Good advice.I believe that between Hi-Techs and PE, Paul and Peggi and Bob and I may hold the record for most appearances there.
