The Lothars

"Deep Heaven", April 5, 1997, on Kingston Street in Boston's Chinatown

Our first show. Other bands on the bill included Bardo Pond, Cul De Sac, Juneau, Primordial Undermind, Lockgroove, Abunai!, Saturnalia, and Christmas Ape. We were the "House Band" for the evening, playing between the other bands' sets. A good idea in concept, but a bad one in practice for two reasons. First, we played off to the side where we could barely hear each other (rather crucial when you're playing theremins!). Second, the other bands were so loud, that people's ears needed a rest between sets; listening to a bunch of squealing Theremins was hardly restful....
