The Gizmos

first and foremost I'd just like to state that this is a fansite. Back in March 1976, when the Ramones were still a local New York band and the Sex Pistols weren't even a rumor in the U.S., a group of teenage fanzine writers, rock cultists, and heavy-metal dudes got together in Bloomington, Indiana, and recorded the first Gizmos EP: Muff Divin'. The underground success of Muff Divin' led to another session in April 1977, which yielded two more EPs: Amerika First and Gizmos World Tour.After most of the original Gizmos had gone their separate ways by early 1977, straggler Ted Niemic gathered up some new musicians to back him as the Gizmos. Soon, Niemic got the point and split too; the remaining folks keeping the name with Dale Lawrence taking over the vocal chores. Demos were recorded shortly before the band finally called it a day, retiring the name for good. One Being Nevermind The Sex Pistols Here's the Gizmos and the other Hoosier Hysteria, a split with another midwest band the Dow Jones & The industrials. The best source of information for this legendary punk band would have to be http://gizmos.whybark.com/
