THE
MORE |
Craig
Davison: There was a fledgling independent magazine
being started by the name of "019890" that had a
benefit show at a place called The Spectrum in Buffalo, NY
on April 9, 1979. Among the bands on the roster was my friend's
band THE SCOOTERS and a band refered to as simply MORE. The
latter band was comprised of: Vince
Gallo on bass, Time Blake (late of THE SECRETS) on guitar
and George Scherer (of THE GEORGE) on drums. They played a
set of originals and covers.
The show was hosted by WBFO disc jockey Gary Storm.To me,
MORE was "Tim Blake's Band." In fact, that's what
I wrote on the cassette, next to the "MORE" designation!
Who knew from Vince Gallo - certainly not me! Tim was the
guitarist in THE SECRETS, my friend Bill's band. The drummer
was George Scherer (sp?) who was the in THE GEORGE, a great,
forgotten band that morphed into THE PAPER FACES. All meaningless
names to anyone but a select handful of Buffalo scenesters,
I'm sure.
