About Me

We've been around DC since, like, the late seventies? We saw a copy of NY ROCKER,I cant remember what year it was,but it had a pictorial (is that how you spell it?) of the New York punk scene. Well being 4 crazed out hippie folkie musicians,we knew right away that we wanted to be one of those kind of bands. Only problem- we knew what it looked like, but we didn't know what it sounded like. So we started playing what we thought it should sound like. And here we are still playing, three decades later... ____BEATNIK FLIES discography: TRAIN TO DISASTER (1983 compilation LP Bonifide-US, LSD-Germany) FROM PARTS UNKNOWN (1985 LP Dacoit-US, New Rose-France PLAY NEW ROSE FOR ME (1986 compilation 2-LP NEW ROSE-France) LASEROCK' N' ROLL PARTY Vol.1 (1987 compilation CD,New Rose-France) BEHIND THESE WALLS (1988 LP New Rose-France) PSYCHOMETALPOP--THE LOST CAUSE OF THE BEATNIK FLIES 2001 anthology CD Dacoit-US- Drunk On Incense (2007 CD,Beatscene Records-US)Check us out on: itunes, CDbaby.com xoxoxoxoI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
