Some INSURGENCE Fliers 1989-1990

From the Summer of 1989 to the Summer of 1990 I was one of the two (then THREE!) vocalists for NYC Anarchopunk band INSURGENCE. I did about a dozen shows with INSURGENCE, and appeared on the Squat Or Rot Vol. 2 EP track 'The Hawk & The Dove'. I wrote the lyrics for that song, and most of the songs in our set while I was in the band.

Here are some show fliers recently unearthed and scanned:

 Our first show- at a Squat or Rot food drive!

The shows we played at Long Island's RIGHT TRACK INN were always amazing!

I think Ralphy Boy from SLAUGHTER did this flier (don't quote me on that)

Another gig w/ the legendary WINTER, this time at the infamous Lismar Lounge.

Absolutely legendary night. A real zenith.

Overall I remember my time with INSURGENCE fondly, especially the early days. I didn't really leave on good terms with the band, but that's because the idea of THREE singers was a ridiculous one. As I was the youngest member I suppose I should've seen that my days were numbered, but at 16 I didn't really have that foresight.

The band continued through 1990 as INSURGENCE playing a bunch more shows and then changed their name in early 1991 to HUNGER FEAST. They broke up later that year. Singer Alicia Non Grata would go on to front NY area metal band 13.

For various reasons we were never able to get it together enough to do an official release, but over the years people would bug me a lot for the music so I put together an unofficial cassette of whatever studio and live material I had, plus our graphics.

Since the split there's been a good deal of interest in the band (especially recently) so who knows what will happen next...
