Dumb Models (Fashion Jungle at Jim's, 1982)

from Memos and Demos by various artists including Doug Hubley

/

about

When our band the Mirrors became the Fashion Jungle, a rule was that everyone had to bring in at least a fragment of original music each week. Here's a result of that discipline: the lyrics are by drummer Ken Reynolds, edited by me; the opening guitar riff was Mike Piscopo's; and with the fourth member of the band being Jim Sullivan, we collectively put the whole thing together in June 1981.

But this performance, made more than a year later, is by the second iteration of the FJ: Jim and Mike had moved on (and I'm trying to cover two guitar parts on the Rickenbacker), and Steve Chapman had joined on bass. This recording was at Jim's Neighborhood Cafe, on Danforth Street in Portland, Maine, on Oct. 6, 1982. I miss the growl of Mike's Gretsch guitar, but Steve provides his own kind of roar.
