Both played often at The Hot Klub, Fort Worth's Zero's New Wave Lounge and occasionally at other venues. I don't recall seeing NCM at Dallas's other punk club, Studio D, though. I think they'd stopped performing by the time it opened. By the way, Bobby Soxx died of alcohol poisoning in 2000. I saw them both many times. The best recollection of local punk that I have was of a night when NCM and the Fort Worth Cats, who did a darker, moodier style of punk, headlined, and my alcohol-drenched recollection was that The Playthings dropped in and played a few tunes as well. Other Texas groups of note around that time were The Telefones, The Playthings, The Hugh Beaumont Experience and a few years later, the Butthole Surfers.

British post-punk outfits often toyed around with that. the most brilliant take must be Excercise one by Joy Division. At least that's what i think. http://open.spotify.com/track/2JmQy2RjjmdnXASzc1rWR0 Indeed good use of guitar feedback!

Thank you for posting this. Not as good as the first, but definitely good. I looked for this record for years, after getting Ultimate Orgasm. Thank you for posting this.
