hey behjan….lowlife made a demo about jan 79(we recorded the single summer of 79)but no vinyl…it had white lightning,thinking naturally and 3 others,lowlife,justice, and sex pistol’s belsen was a gas…richard and i started “playing” summer of 78.so the single had much improved playing….i wanted to record justice and lowlife for the single instead for the b side,i guess i got over ruled or talked out of it…..i have a tape of it somewhere,a couple of live gigs and some funny practice tapes….rick sprung (the singer) sang in a couple of rock bands in the early eighties but we haven’t seen him since 82…brad hasn’t played(that i know of)since the mid 90’s in a brief reunion of his mid 80’s band monuments galore(they couldn’t dig up the drummer so i filled in)..i haven’t played for maybe 5 years,just local bands with friends from the old punk scene….richard lives in hollywood now and for sure will NEVER stop playing,i need to get off my ass and phone him (last talked to him sept 07)…richard still writes some great tunes and his guitar playing seems to get better and better ……thanks for giving a shit about the ancient lowlife…..

Hi Mark, did LOWLIFE record any other songs beside the ones on the 7″e.p. ? Is the singer (and the other members) still playing in a band?
Greetings

haven’t heard leaders since my last turntable,maybe 20 years ago…hillarious…even more funny people still know about it…both richard and i were in lowlife and 1st version of PC….personality crisis came from a band called le kille…i joined le kille maybe summer 1980….richard joined i think in the fall…singer doug bauer left at the same time and mitch started singing….tom wharton left feb 81 and jimmy joined,then we changed the name to personality crisis…i quit in spring 81,jon card came in from calgary to drum in my place and the rest is history…it’s all in chris walter’s book personality crisis:warm beer and wild times….i still have about 15-20 lowlife singles in the closet…i downloaded the b side lowlife off soulseek about 7 years ago ,so thanx for leaders….the lyrics are about our singer rick sprung,but he didn’t know it……

Ha! I’ve been so busy lately that I even missed this repost! I’ve wanted to hear this one for quite som time, and it’s better than I thought it would be, which sucks of course as I’ll have to add it to my want list. For unknown reasons I used to mix up Lowlife and the Insane. I think it had something to do with the artwork of them, but now I can’t even figure out why I mixed them up. It’s not like they’re the only b/w punk 7inches ever… Damn it, I’m so tired so I should just stop writing before I bore you even more. Thanx 4 the punx Erich.
