NFG

Our friend Dave O'Hallaran (aka What Wave Dave on CHRW) has been sharing on Facebook, with our grateful permission, photos that we had taken of various bands back in the 1980's. Today Dave writes in Radio What Wave group:

"With the re-issue of the NFG/63 Monroe EP on Yeah Right! Records it's time to bring out some of Reg Quinton's pics of NFG.

This is the lineup of NFG that appear on the studio portion of the record and is the second last lineup of NFG before they morphed into 63 Monroe. The band pictured consists of' Scott Bentley (Steven R Stunning), Markii Burnaway. Rob Gliddon and Peter Lambert. The final lineup of NFG would have Mark DeRoux replace Rob Gliddon on bass and that lineup appears on the record mentioned above as 63 Monroe. Best guess for the pics is 1980 and definitely at the Cedar Lounge. 

Lots and lots of familiar faces in these pics. I've added some names in the comments attached to the pics. If you spot a familiar face that isn't in the comments, please add it and I'll try to revise the picture comments.

 

I'm splitting this post into 2 as there are so many great Reg Quinton pics of the band and fans."

The photos are clearly NFG (Bob Gliddon on bass is the big clue) but from different times at the Cedar Lounge. Some are from 1980 as I can see Kate in one photo. That might have been before we were married in August, but it's mostly likely 1980. NFG morphed into First Date and then 63 Monroe shortly after.

Usually I'd prune an album down to just the few photos I'm especially proud of. Dave is more encyclopedic in his choice of photos to share. But for an historical record here it is. Many thanks to Dave for his work organizing these photos and figuring out the location and time for many of these.
