Tell-Tale Hearts at Greenwich Village West:
The missing pieces
Last week’s photographic contribution from Tell-Tale Hearts guitarist Eric Bacher of the band and audience at Greenwich Village West, ca. 1984 — salvaged from a vintage contact sheet — omitted some great shots of the band, including a grainy image of keyboardist/harmonica player Bill Calhoun.
Like the rest of the set, these shots of the Hearts include Eric as well as vocalist Ray Brandes, drummer David Klowden and bassist Mike Stax.
Tell-Tale Hearts at Greenwich Village West!
Does anyone recall the date and circumstances of this gig? As we know from other images in the set, it happened before Jerry Cornelius (and hence the Morlocks) moved to San Francisco.

People come and go and forget to close the door
And they leave their stains and cigarette butts trampled on the floor
And when they do, remember me, remember me.
Some of them are old, some of them are new
Some of them will turn up when you least expect them to
And when they do, remember me, remember me.

@ Dean,
Kind thought and words. I posted the lyric as a kind of collective wish, even tho’ it has a personal pronoun.
The verse was recalled spontaneously from “Here Come the Warm Jets”, while reading Matt’s posting.
I hope you’re well! Where’s the Jab spinning these days?
