Nadsat Nation

About Me


This is a historical entry for a long dead but influential Ann Arbor, Michigan (Stoogetown) punk band from the early ‘90s. We hope to put up a collection of songs, photos, flyers, and biographical information to document this band before the details fade any more from memories already missing a few brain cells. Inevitably, many of the details documented here will be incorrect or incomplete. Please contact us with any additions or corrections as well as any photos, flyers, video, recordings, or stories you might have from this time.

About the Band

Nadsat were always better live than in the studio and their recordings never did them justice. Live they were always loaded, out-of-tune as often as not, always full of energy, and always a blast to watch, sing along to, and spit beer on. For those of you that were there, you know what I mean.

Nadsat Nation played the music they loved while staying true to their musical roots. Because of this, they were often accused of being derivative. But the band found a way to create their own unique sound, maintaining a core backbone of melodic punk while exploring various musical genres.

In a way, Nadsat Nation was formed as an attempt to bring some roots back into the local scene. After coming up in the late-eighties punk scene dominated by generic thrash, Misfits cover bands, and three letter acronym band names (DRI, GBH, JFA, MDC, DOA, etc) it was time for a return to a more musical and thoughtful brand of punk.

It was also a time when ska was starting it's third wave revival. In fact, Ben and Gabe both played in a ska band in the late eighties, Etch-a-Sketch (which played in a Toronto Ska Fest featuring an early Bosstones). But Nadsat much preferred the rootsier sound of traditional Jamaican Bluebeat (and to a lesser extent British 2-Tone). Similar to the Clash and Stiff Little Fingers, Nadsat tried to capture some of that essense in their music. There were also very few American Oi! bands to speak of at this time. Nadsat did their part to contribute to this then-lost genre with numbers like “Teenage Dream” and “Security in Numbers”. Many of the themes first tried out by Nadsat influenced future local bands, including the Fighting 69th and Ben and Gabe's future project, Pist ‘n' Broke.

The material Nadsat produced ranged in topic as well. Snotty rebellion, humor and self-parody, love, personal tragedy, dark and eery, defiance to the right-wing war machine (but not our brothers in the trenches), and deference to the old standards: sex, drugs, and rock‘n'roll. Most importantly, Nadsat believed in unity; racial unity and unity between punks, skins, and those who were neither. The band had members that were both punks and skins and lived by the “skunk's” credo.

Nadsat formed at a time when this sort of unity was finally possible. Some of the pre-Nadsat crew (Ben, Gabe, Lindsay, Ollie, Dan Szetela, Dylan Goldman) entered the skinhead scene in the late eighties. At this time, Michigan was dominated by white power boneheads and “white pride” fence walkers, even in the liberal bastion of Ann Arbor. Even some punks were walking around with white laces.

But our crew had cut their teeth on classic punk, oi!, and ska and wanted none of the racist ways that boneheads (like the Northern Hammers) tried to force down their throats. Inspired by the music they listened to, visits to London, and the Sham 69 show at Blondies, they were determined to go against the grain. But in 1988, being a traditional skin was a pretty grim prospect.

Later that year, Ben and Lindsay met Shane (future Lager Lads) and Dave from Windsor (both on the lamb from the Canadian authorities) who were also non-racist skins. Lindsay and Gabe had previously met Howard and Brian from Toledo who later introduced them to an entire scene of anti-racist skins. This was when the first Sharp flyers started hitting Michigan from out of New York and Ohio.

Gradually our lads started attracting like-minded fellows, many of whom helped chase the boneheads out of Ann Arbor and pave the way for future generations of traditional punks and skins: the boys from Toledo (Pat Lodge, Jodi, Sinbad, and the Majority of One skins), Bevan from Pittsburg, Brian Trimmer, Collin Crow, AJ, Tony Dread, Plastic Man Dan, Gus and Lito, the Gangster Fun crowd from Detroit, Pat (RIP) and Joe Bootboy, the Ambassadors SC, Bricks and Scotty Lyons, Luther and Kosta from Windsor, P.T. and John Hill, and many others.

It was several years yet before a similar transformation started taking place in Detroit. Skinhead shows in Detroit were still pretty hairy in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s but have gotten much better since. The era of the Falcon Club in Hamtramck, with appearances by Nadsat Nation, Pist ‘n' Broke, and the Lager Lads helped to cement the newly formed traditional scene into Michigan history.

Tape release party at the Hentch House in Ann Arbor along with the Hentchmen's release of their 1st 7”.

Honorable Mention

Goosman Old-school Ambassador scooter boy. Recorded the material from the “rough mix” sessions that made it onto the CD compilations. Since Nadsat always managed to deplete the band fund on gas money and Black Label , Chris provided top-notch recording services at charitable prices. More recently (2007), made the Rough Mix sessions available in digital form for your listening pleasure. Alyssa from Boston Guest vocals on X-Ray Spex cover “My Mind is Like A Plastic Bag”. Founder of the feminist punk zine “Blowin' Chunks”. Ko Chin Guest keyboards on a few songs - can't remember which. Band photos. Shlepping the band around. Lived at Nadsat House 1 . Helped popularize scooters in Ann Arbor. Future Ko and the Knockouts, Dirtbombs. “Tipsy Turtle”. Marc “McFinn” Guest vocals on Stooges cover “I Wanna Be Your Dog”. Former Boneless Toast. Future Mazinga front man. Balls! Lindsay AKA DJ Doubleplus Lyrics on “Basement Blues”. Lazy/worthless manager, roadie, number 1 fan, resident of every Nadsat House . Has been known to spin old punk records at shows, scooter rallies, and punk nights at the Elbow Room with Gabe, Chuck Damage, and Josh D. Your friendly neighborhood Nadsat historian and maintainer of this site (with help from Gabe). Alaina Co-wrote lyrics to “Suburban Riot” with Gabe. Ferg One of the founders of the Jedi Knights scooter club. A member of several local bands such as the Crew Pies. Ferg let Nadsat Nation play live on his radio show. Before the show, Nadsat Larry got in a bit of ruck with the host of the preceding rap show, "Downtown" Tony Brown. It ended with Tony pulling a gun on Larry, right in the radio station. Or maybe that happened on John Rasta's show - there are conflicting stories. John “Rastafari” Host of the weekly punk radio show on WCBN. Organizer of many local punk shows from the Thayer Anarchist Center, to the Red Light Lounge, to the Unitarian Church. Barbed Wire Playpen co-vocalist. John may also have let Nadsat play live on his radio show, and he definitely played the Nadsat demo tape on his show a time or two. John also booked the infamous Vibrators / Nadsat Nation / Barbed Wire Playpen show at the Halfway Inn. Earning it's nickname, “the Halfass”, the venue inexplicably canceled the show at the last minute because University officials were afraid of punk and disorderly behavior. The show was moved to the Lab at the 11th hour, even though they already had a show booked for that night. A total of 12 or so bands played that night, thanks to John and the accommodating guys at the Lab!

» BTW, you guys did play on my show, remember? Your drummer Larry got a gun pulled on him by the DJ before me, you remember that? Unfortunately it was at a time when I was not taping my broadcasts, so as far as I know, no tape of it exists. -John Rasta

» It states that Dirty Larry had a gun pulled on him during John Rastafari's radio show. I'm just trying to get the story straight. It wasn't John's show, it was my show. I had Nadsat Nation play live, and I was there when the dude pulled a gun on Larry. If I recall, the show went on, and Nadsat sounded sweet. -Ferg

» No, I know it was my show, cause I was there. I'm positive it was my show because Tony Brown came .. me and he was the DJ. Plus, I totally remember being on the air and Rob coming down the hall and telling me what had happened. So I think that it may be Ferg who is confused. -John Rasta

» Well, I'm definitely confused! No worries. Either way, thanks guys! -Lindsay

Damon “the Sound Guy” Included 2 Nadsat tracks on his “Perverts, Freaks and Weirdos Vol. 1” CD compilation. Helped get the Rough Mix sessions converted to digital format...by nagging the hell out of Goosman.back to top

Band Members and Lineups

Nadsat Nation was formed after 2 groups of friends got together; the old guard: Gabe, Ben, Josh, Lindsay, Katrina, and Jesika; and the young bloods: Dave, Sean, Alex, Gump, Brendan, and Kenneth “Red Sweaty” Moran (RIP). Nadsat Nation was also, more or less, a merger of 3 former bands: Etch-a-Sketch (Gabe, Ben), Barf (Gabe, Ben, Josh) and Verbal Riot (Dave, Sean, Alex, Gump).

Sean formed Jaks with Katrina and Jesika and later left Nadsat to be replaced by Josh. Alex left Nadsat to pursue hardcore music and was replaced by Gump. Gump later left for Acme Speed Queen and was replaced by Larry from Port Huron. Josh moved to San Francisco with Lindsay and was replaced by Brendan for about a year before returning to the band.

Both Gump and Alex returned a few times over the years to play individual shows with the band. Larry spent time as the guitarist in Moltov and later moved to Detroit and formed the Dirtys with his old mates from Port Huron. Nadsat played its last show at Scorpio McSatan's Kung Fu Lounge (Chapin Street) with Gump. Dave quit drinking, disbanded Nadsat, and moved to Chicago. Dave later moved back to Ann Arbor and formed Rael Rean with Ben and Claudia (Bitter Pills, Avatars). Gabe and Ben continued playing with their other project, Pist ‘n' Broke, for some years and later formed the Elevations with Sean Ike and company.

Ben has played in too many bands to name all of them, including the Alconaughts, Thee Lucky Stiffs, and Mhz (with Andy from the Monarchs, Don Von Bondie, and I.C. Steve), and now lives in New York City where he plays in the Imaginary Icons. Gabe later played in Steve Wynn and the Losers and Canned Haggis, owned a vintage clothing store, and spun punk records at the Elbow Room with Lindsay, Chuck Damage, and Josh D (Pist ‘n' Broke). Brendan, Josh, and Dave all live in Los Angeles but rarely see each other. Alex drives a Zamboni somewhere in the Detroit area. Sean married Katrina and is currently playing with her in Celebration out of Baltimore, MD. Gump and Larry passed away, as did Red Sweaty much earlier. We miss you brothers!

Lyrics

Suburban Riot (Gabe, Alaina, Dave)

Put away the silver and get a gun The punks are here, time to have some fun Look who's in the dog house, it's not the dog We came to the suburbs to escape the smogCHORUS: Suburban riot, used to be quiet Sorry to disturb you Suburban riot, say you don't buy it We'll give you a fuckin' boot! Oi!We like your lawns, not like the city Grass smells nice, but we smell shitty Lock up your daughter's chastity belt We're from the city, you say we're from hell!CHORUSWe walk the streets in unity Scared the whole community March on with our laced up boots Fightin' in the streets, dancin' on the roofs!CHORUS

I94-W (Dave)

Had a bad feeling, that I was no one It was midnight, crimes just begun And then I wandered into the depths of hell I thought I did no wrong, I'd never tellSaw the past go before my sight Wandering on, into the deadly night Blinded by my blood, when will it end? Saw my fate, and my path did then descend...And now I'm stranded, I'm all alone I believe in a god, where is she now? ...to let me just suffer, to waste away I never thought I'd see the next day!So far to go, I have just begun Striving on, into the deadly sun Thought I was done for, then I saw a sign All set to go, and leave it all behind Leave it all behind... West on 94, going West on 94...

Teenage Dream (Ben)

We are brought up to believe There's a world full of hopes and dreams From when you're young they teach you Of life's hoaxes and schemes And you're face to face with reality On how you ought to beCHORUS: Teenage dream (it's mine) Teenage dream! Teenage...You're reluctant to miss a new face In the crowd of a distant kid You want to go your own way Live life 'cause it's meant to live You gotta question what you're told! So scared of growing oldCHORUS

incogNEATO! (Dave)

Hey little girl I'm calling your name I'm fucked, I'm lost, I'm in disguise Hiding from you Watching us pass, It's me... in-cog-ni-to!CHORUS: Turn on the light Coming inside Are you afraid Of my disguise? Banished from, your eyes Falling for, my disguise Well I'm the guy a walkin' down the street And I see you Do you see me? And I'm broke down, like never before Time is up Do you see me? Alright now...Hey little girl Now you see You could see me, all along And now I know, I was wrong To be... in-cog-ni-to!CHORUS

Basement Blues (Lindsay)

Late nights drinkin We're feelin alright The party never stopped We'd be up all night It's all we knew And with all we'd been through We never thought for a moment That we'd want something moreCHORUS: I scratch and crawl my way up But always slip back down Can't seem to get outta the basement It's my life and it's my soundThe years fly by before me And nothing's changed Kid's will come and go They're all the same I see the modern fashions Of the underground I gotta go a little deeper To find my soundI go through a struggle Not to submerge every day Here I am in the basement Where I will stayCHORUSback to top

Nadsat Houses

The center of the Nadsat world (and often the Ann Arbor punk scene) was the Nadsat House. There were officially 3 Nadsat houses but there were several others that Nadsat operated out of. In chronological order:

Ben's Mum - E. Stadium Most early bands that Ben was in practiced here at least once and some got their start here: Factory Rat, Etch-a-Sketch, Sons of the Street, Barf, Nadsat Nation, Dortmünder Union Boys / Pist ‘n' Broke to name a few. Ben's bands started practicing here as early as 1986 and maybe earlier. It was here that one of Ben's early bands perfected “Ovaltine”, their straight edge rip-off of “Tequila”. “The Farm” - Liberty Road Gabe's house out in the country. The water was polluted by Gelman Sciences so you couldn't drink it. The back porch worked as an outdoor stage so the house played host to the 3 Corn Stock festivals, featuring bands like Monster Bait, KIA (Art from the State), Nadsat, Jaks, Totem, the DTs, and Barf. This was also the site of the infamous Corn Stock riot that took place when CTYC showed up and beat the piss out of everyone. Frying pans, bats, nunchucks, and bottles were flying everywhere and Gabe ended up with a broken bone sticking out of his arm. This was the period Alyssa was singing the X-Ray Spex cover. Woodlawn - 909 Woodlawn ‘91-92. Lindsay, Red Sweaty (RIP), Slaughterhouse Dave, Aubrey “Big Ralph” Deal, Chris Gadsky, Leanne, Kim, Hank (RIP), Todd (RIP), John Lyon (RIP), Cindy, Genevieve, Jody, Rosemary,Roddi, Jessica, Vampire Jenny, Sleaze, Junkyard, Larry Lewis and more. Across from the Sheehan House (Destruction Ride) and around the corner from the Dewey House (Monster Bait) and next door to crazy chainmail Steve. Referred to by John Hill (future Pist ‘n' Broke) as “that punk rock flophouse”. Scenes from the Nadsat Nation video “Spirit of ‘69” were filmed here. It was at this house that we convinced Bill's Market to start carrying cases of Black Label in bottles (no longer sold in the States) and nightly Black Label parties ensued. By the end this house was trashed and Lindsay got sued for $7k: walls spray painted, holes in walls, broken windows, fridge and microwave smashed, washer and dryer stolen. Quote from the landlord: “How you like I slash you up...throw you couple dollar for stitches”? The house was even raided (unsuccessfully) by the feds looking for LSD. Please! Nadsat House 1 - 818 Packard - “the red house” ‘ (it's GREY now!-Gabe)'92. Dave, Josh, Ben, Gabe, Lindsay, Malachi (Inebriated Curmudgeons), Ko Chin (future Knockouts, Dirtbombs), Beth “Breath”, Renee and others. Down the block from the Carpe Noctum House and the crusty punk house (Jessica, Amber, et al). Also right across from the Hentch House where Nadsat and the Hentchmen co-hosted an album release party: the Nadsat tape and the Hentchmen's 1st 7”. Ben had an Italian motor scooter for years but Ko bought one and they both joined the Ambassadors Scooter club. Chris from Windsor was always bringing around his scooters and all of a sudden there was a mini scooter scene at the Nadsat House. Shuey and Ferg were always hanging around the Nadsat House and picked up an interest in scooters at this time. Later they went on to found the Jedi Knights SC, Ann Arbor's 1st scooter club. The Lager Lads, frequent visitors to the Nadsat House, formed around this time. This house also helped spawn the Dortmünder Union Boys (future Pist ‘n' Broke) and the Inebriated Curmudgeons (of “Shmoo Cow”, “Shit Damn Fuck” fame). Other visitors to this house include Perry from Boot Party, Bodon from DC, Francoís and Dave from Atlanta, Bricks, and CTYC (Dave bailed one of ‘em out of jail after he got arrested). First Ann Arbor appearance of Mike from the Eight Ball when he was brought to town by Nadsat Larry. The State Street House - State Street just South of the Blue Front ‘92-93. Gabe, Jay Bones, the Anns, Mike Shuey. A mix of 4 scenes: Nadsat Nation, Detroit Sharps (BJ, Nate, Lenny, Nick, and the lads), Short Dead Dudes / pre-Jedi Knights, plus a few metal heads. Nadsat's little brother band, Cockfight (Nakema, Paul, Josh D, Brendan M) started hanging out here too. This house was the launching point for the Mary Court Massacre, immortalized in song by CRS. At a party a few blocks away on Mary Court, some jock thought he'd try to mess with the “freaks”: he pushed a skinhead girl and then punched Jay Bones. Bad move! Punks and skins united to take down the jocks, going to work with canes and chains, and finishing it off with a brick through the giant front window of the house, spraying glass all over the cowards huddling inside. Unfortunately, they called the cops who showed up at the State Street House. Ridiculously, because the jocks couldn't tell people apart, some people were charged who weren't even at the massacre, just because they were at the house when the cops arrived and looked like punks or skins. Lindsay only avoided being arrested because he had a punch clock stub showing that he had been working at the time of the party. Wonderful legal system we have. It was at this house that we won a contest sponsored by Bill's Market for who could buy the most cases of beer in a month. We beat out all the frat houses just drinking our normal quantity of suds. Go figure. Nadsat House 2 - Jefferson and Hamilton - “the green house” ‘93-94. Dave, Gabe, Josh, Larry, Lindsay, Jay Bones, Teighlor “Yer makin' me madder than hell” O'Leary, Kirk, Moltov Scott (RIP), Paul, Samantha, Jennifer. Down the block from the Scheme (future Wolf Eyes) house. The best of the Nadsat Houses. Many shows were played here and many bands practiced here including: Moltov, Lager Lads, Pist ‘n' Broke, Cockfight/Fighting 69th, and the Crew Pies (former Short Dead Dudes). Billy Davis even brought over a Karioki machine. This house saw the return of Collin Crow, last seen in Ann Arbor in ‘89. Bands of roving skinheads would frequently terrorize the neighborhood around this house so the “8 block rule” was invented: you must go 8 blocks away to fight or smash things. Couldn't hurt to try, right? It was at this house that Josh scored all the Black Label sun umbrellas that we decorated the Nadsat House with.
(I still have one!-Gabe) Nadsat House 3 - 820 Packard - “the beige house” ‘94. Dave, Lindsay, Big Andy, Robin, Josh D, Kris Smith, Haner, and Jose. Right next to the former red Nadsat House. This was the height of the second coming of Pist ‘n' Broke when Josh D had taken over from John Hill and they released “American Drinking Songs”. Lots of Nadsat, Lager Lads, PnB parties. This was also the era when McFinn started hanging out at the house and singing “I wanna be your dog” with Nadsat. Blakely Court ‘95 Josh, Lindsay, Dave, and Josh's asshole cousin-in-law Steve. Nadsat practiced here and there were a couple decent parties. But generally this house sucked. Steve threw a lamp down the stairs when people were watching tv “too loud”. Later he locked out Dave and Lindsay who cut their way through the screens with knives and nearly ended up in a knives vs bats scrap with Steve and his dim-witted portly friend. Shortly after, Dave quit drinking. Chapin House - Behind the old homeless shelter ‘96-97. Nadsat played their last show here while it was being run by the Mazinga boys as Scorpio McSatan's Kung Fu Lounge. When McFinn and company got kicked out for antics like pouring cat sand down the toilet, Gabe and Lindsay took over the house to keep the shows going and the scene alive. Other housemates included Robin (Date Rapers), Dave Terry (Losers, Date Rapers), LB (Brewts), Crotch and more. It was the dying embers of the old scene and the beginning of the new. Bands like the Brewts, Vomica, Rufie and the Date Rapers, and the Losers got their start around this time. Shows during this time featured bands like Mazinga, Moltov, Scott's Pirates, and many others. This was the house where Cloyce earned his nickname “Captain Condiment” (make sure to ask him about it when you see him). After we moved out, the house was sold and reopened as a halfway house for recovering druggies. There was an article in the Ann Arbor News about it that claimed the house was a crack house while we were living there. Yeah, right! Other Ann Arbor Houses from this Era Notable for Shows and Parties Slime House 1 and 2, Bat House, BFN House, the Lab (Brad, Tom), Jaks House, Thayer Street Anarchist Center (John Rasta), Red Light Lounge @ Prospect Street (John Rasta, Chrissy), the Zarlac Pit @ Church Street (Mike, Robin, Amy, Fred), East University House (Ted, Fig), Scheme House, Detroit Sharp House (by Blimpy Burgers), Lester Coop (John Hill), Nakamura Coop (John Hill, Margo), the Guild House, Waters Road House (Sean, Craig), Crusty House (Jessica, Amber), Hentch House, Rael Rean House, Glen's House on S.

Black Label

Do you remember the days of ‘93, when Black Label was still sold in bottles in the States, and you could buy one at the Eight Ball Saloon for a buck? Nadsat Nation and friends shared a love of Black Label beer that infused the history of the band and spread infectiously throughout the Ann Arbor punk scene. If it weren't for Black Label, Nadsat Nation might have sounded a lot better. Ha ha.

Cheers to our long lost mate, and old-school Chelsea skin, Hank Ricecamp, for turning us all on to the wonders and ills of Black Label. Brother Hank even used to keep his 7”s in an old Black Label 12-pack with a fold-out top. We'll drink the next one to you, Hank!
