I am here for Friends

About Me

A former Pittsburgh punk back in the mid-late 1980s. Although I'm now much older, calmer, pudgier and (hopefully) wiser, I still remember and appreciate those bygone days. I'm looking to connect with as many people as possible, and see "Where are they now?"
This site isn't about me, though, it's about US!! Remember that YOU TOO can sign in and update this site anytime, 24/7>>>>>>[email protected] is:daburgh!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

ANYONE who was down with the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania scene in the 1980s. It doesn't matter if you had a mohawk, liberty spikes, devilock, long hair, dyed hair or a shaved head. The purpose of this page is to build on the recent good times and momentum of the kick-ass Battered Citizens/Shape of Rage/You Have Ten Seconds.../Plastered Bastards show at the 31st St. Pub.If you have updates on people from the 1980s scene in Pittsburgh, go ahead and add the info! We plan to post as many names as possible, along with details about where they are living, what kinds of careers or families they have, etc. We also want to have a special section for those folks no longer with us, who passed away far too soon.We also want to have old photos, flyers, lyrics, videos, anecdotes and stories of those times. This is definitely a work of art that, while a labor of love, is still very much "in development"...
