Davey Fowler Blayney-Bass
Wayne Garabedian-Drums
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.
