I played bass in Poptronix. We played in New Jersey & New York & did many shows. CBGB's.. Close Encounters.. Soap Factory..Dirt Club (lots with The Smithereens...Pat's a pal) Several; appearences on the uncle Floyd show & even did a semi-pro video of a Song called "Meatrack"! Filmed in a slaughterhouse in Newark (I vomited more then once that day). Meat Rack was shown on MTV (when it was NEW & commercial FREE!!) Band broke up in '8o?...lasted about 3 years. I went on to Join the Undead in '81 (played on Verbal Abuse 45).. Ed the singer formed Playdo then Communicators. I've known Ed since the 60's & we're still buds...Good Times! Hey!

(I have their only 12" EP, which doesn't include a contact address or any identifying information.) If any Poptronix people respond, let me know so I can badger them with Communicators questions.
