"Tell 'em about the ladder , now.". Royal Nonesuch , wow ! I SAW THEM TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE LATE '80s....One time , Jimy Sohns from The Shadows of Knight joined them onstage , but , declined requests for "Bad Little Woman" after the obligatory "Gloria". They even let ME sing a good part of their firstset with them. They were so cool. I saw The Pandoras once, in '86. THE BROOD MADE ME NOT MISS 'EM SO MUCH , after they opted for a more Metal thing. FORTUNE AND mALTESE never failed. MIKE mALTESE LIVED IN cHICAGO for a while , so we hung out. Fleshtones and Cynics are still making a polka - dotted ASS out of bands one - third their ages. less
