20 years ago today #26 - 19 Mar 1986

The Rat, Boston - Requiem In White, Primitive Romance, Laser Jesus

Locals only. This was a weeknight show - not sure what brought me out. I might have read something in the Phoenix about Primitive Romance. Probably out with Mark.

Requiem In White was a goth band, apparently. They are still fondly remembered. They went on to become Mors Syphilitica, which was signed to Projekt earlier this decade.

One of the members of PR is now in The Glass Set (unless there was another band called Primitive Romance). They released a CD and have a web site. I thought I had a copy of one of their EPs, but I must have ditched it, because there was nothing between Prefab Sprout and Prince. I think it was released on Modern Method.

Bongo's is willing to trade a cassette of a PR radio performance for whatever you may have.

A list of RIW tour dates, but this show is not listed.
