a snappy dresser with a  brilliant smile who
seemed like a logical frontman.  Marcus knew
Davey Fowler from high school ,(they played in
school band together) and he was brought in to
play bass. Those wonderful Davey Fowler house
parties had been going on when DOG MEAT
formed, I remember seeing them play there. With
the keyboards and slower tempo it had a heavy,   
       post-punk feel similar to PIL but with more  
              of an arty/experimental edginess
                 thanks to Rick's masterful use of
                   feedback and Raymond's screaming
                     punk vocals. I remember a song
                       called  'French and Indian wars'.  
                        DOGMEAT rehearsed at the same
                            auto-body shop as the
                             SUBTRACTIONS. They played a
                                few gigs, the most notable  
                                  was opening for
                                    
BLACK FLAG at the
                                    
Belmont Ballroom,
                                    (
see photo from show)
                                     and house parties
                                     in '81-'82.
