The Stimulators-Got A Right(2023)[Compilation][Bootleg]

NYHC/Punk/USA/320/2023
"Known In NYHC as Harley Flannagan’s First Band, the STIMULATORS were truly the brainchild of guitarist Denise Mercedes. Her path to Rock’n’Roll started almost Mythologically, having been given her first electric guitar by BOB DYLAN and an amp from BOWIE guitarist Mick Ronson. She was also Harley’s aunt, and when she wanted to start a band and no drummers were to be found, she stuck her young Punk Progeny behind the kit. The group was rounded out by queer poet Patrick Mack on vocals (who would pass away from AIDS in 1983) and bassist Nick Marden, famously of the Mapplethorpe photo wearing the “Loud Fast Rules” leather jacket. The band came on the scene after the first wave of CBGB bands had either signed to labels, gone on tour forever, gone new wave, or just imploded. In this time before Hardcore was completely codifed, the STIMULATORS gigged not only with the BAD BRAINS after they were banned in DC, but also Gorehound Maniacs the MAD and no wave noise like RED TRANSISTOR. As Mercedes was initially inspired by seeing the DAMNED."
