SBGB Live from Wormtown

  This time around at WDOA.com we were visited by Wormtown Punk Legends, SBGB, recorded sometime around 2003. They consisted of  Gerry Cardinal, guitar, Jim Hilton, guitar, Jay (John) Barney, Drums and Keith Hast, bass, and lead singer Andy Farrel, who was not present for this interview. Formed by Gerry and Andy around 1996, they had members come and go and at this point had released their debut CD "Ate Your Pizza" on Average Day Productions label. A popular band with the locals, their show's were known for frenetic pace, fast songs, and getting the crowd worked up into a pit of swirling bodies that would grow in intensity as each song progressed.  They played all the regular clubs in Worcester that allowed this type of music, and played a show at the infamous Station Nightclub in Rhode Island shortly before the fire tragedy that hit there. They went on to produce a two disc set entitled "Everything, Anything and Nothing..." that was never issued commercially, but if you're lucky enough, you could get copies from the band members. To this day the mystery of what "SBGB"stands for is still alive. Look them up on their Soundcloud page for more music.
