Lounge Lizards at Hurrah, New York City, 1979
That's John Lurie at the far right, Steve Piccolo in the middle, and Evan Lurie on the left. Arto Lindsay (12-string guitar) and Anton Fier (drums) also played that night (photo here).
I saw the band at Hurrah, an upstairs club at 62nd and Broadway that brought in a lot of big names. On this evening, James "Blood" Ulmer (next photo) also played.
Coincidentally, a few days after I scanned this I found a long article in the New Yorker (Aug. 16 & 23, 2010 issue) about John Lurie. I'd link to it but it's behind a pay wall. It's fascinating and very gossipy. I had no idea Lurie was such a complex, paranoid, and solipsistic character. Does that sound negative? Actually, I have a lot of respect for him.
Incidentally, John is a fine actor. He appeared in two of Jim Jarmusch's early films, "Stranger in Paradise" and "Down by Law." He's also a successful artist.
