Original Psycho Nurse Rehursals


Rehursal in the 1980's

Rox and Debbie Rehursed in their swank second floor apartment in Taylor.

The cops were called a lot on us. Not for Loud music, for Vulgar Content.

I am pretty sure that you could not make out what we were singing 2 blocks away, but people would call the cops on us just cuz they heard about the show!
We tryed to go to those place where the local bands rehursed, you know, wearehouses,Storage Bins,Garages, but we got kicked out of every place we tried to rehursed in. Just for being a VULGAR ROCK BAND... can you believe it! It was the 1980's what can I say.

Now some real Intresting Vulgar Rap is played on Kiddie stations Everwhere in theUSA.

The full band rehursed only when they had a show, even tho Debbie, Rox and Tony O would bring lyrics to Brian and they would write songs just about every week or so. When we booked a show.. then we rehursed.

We also did not want to do the local band thing, and play out at the pub every friday nite.. so we book good, or better gigs, and made the show an event instead of another bad band at another bar.

I am sure you know how the first songs were wirtten... RIGHT!
NO.. well That is another post! and A well Pressed Story!


Most of the songs were written just, for gigs we booked and unfortunally most never stayed on the list. The band had fresh material ever time they played out.

There is not any real record of any of the songs that did not make it to the show list ( We did not know we were perparing a show list at the time, we were just trying out material)

The material evolved with each memeber that came and went. Everyone added somthing to the show and the music.

We never had a regular drummer... Everyone played drums with this band. It never seemed to matter. Brian was a great band leader. He could make any one regardless of how young they were work out.!

We never had a stedy drummer, and never ever got one. ( ala Spinal Tap)
We changed musician a lot. We would rehurse people in the car on the way to a gig! It was fun... it kept the energy up!

We really never thought any of this would last as long as it did.. so every gig was like our last. The next gig was not somthing to worrie about. We took it all seriously enough to write, book, and play. But a future?... IT was JUST FUN! It was not designed to last long!


Boy! did all that change later on, when we had more lawyers and managers than band members. ( another story)
