According to Mr. Bill of www.irscorner.com FISH MARKET was
originally an all-girl band. I don't know what that original line-up
was
but, we know the members after the line-up change. These
people were an integral part of the early Fresno punk scene
although the band was based in the Hanford-Lemoore area.
That was where Stan of NBJ, Gilbert of VICIOUS BUNNYZ and
NEW ASSAULT and Don the drummer lived. Don also owned a
record store in Hanford called Rainbow Records.
Pam was good friends with Joceylin when I first met her. They
were a part of the Reedley- Kingsburg connection. A lot of the
earliest punk afficianados were from some of these small towns
around Fresno. Raymond X-Ray Dog and Pam were dating when
Jocey and I first hooked up and the four of us hung out quite a
bit in '80-'81.
FISH MARKET played at the Rock Haven gig in 1985 opening for
45 GRAVE.
Guitarist Dave Blayney had some of the best and earliest punk
parties at his spread in Fowler. Bands played, jam sessions and
general mayhem and mischief. I owe him a debt of thanks for
letting CAPITOL PUNISHMENT practice there several times, and
for being so kind in general.
At one of those parties as I was just a few blocks from the
house I was pulled over by a cop for a burned out tail light. He
ran a warrant check on me and found an old traffic ticket that I
had forgotten about. He took me to jail right then and there. I
was so bummed. Not because I was going to jail so much but
that I missed the party! At the party they took up a collection
for my bail! Was that nice or what? I'll never forget those
parties at Davey Fowler's.
