Live and backstage at Trax, New York City, August, 1984.

Live at Kenny's Castaways, New York City.  Election Day, November, 1984 was the last time we would wear "formal" stage attire as we'd decided to not align with any kind of so-called "scenes".  We were into R.E.M., Husker Du, The Minutemen and so on and felt that being ourselves was the way forward.

 

                        
                                                                          
         
At the beginning, mid-period and end of the original phase of The Punch Line.  Left to right:  early 1986, summer 1987 and winter 1992. 

The abandoned Rosebank station of the old "South Beach" train line on Staten Island, May 1987.  This is where "Broken station, split in two just like the soul of every man..." in Train Of Thought came from.
