| Thanks so much Richard, for doing ALL of this. The photos are fun to view. I need more time to look at and digest. I recognize some folks, but others seem only vaguely familiar. Hope a good time was had by all. Sarah |
| Everyone, first think what your life would be now if the Marble Bar did not exist, who you would have not met and the chain of events that occurred since then.
Next, thank you Richard Taylor...Great web site!! We all need it to remember the best years of our lives. Leslee, it is just what you did in the '80's at The Marble Bar, your passion for bringing music and inspiration to young people (Dove Ranch) is the same as what you and Roger did at the Marble for all of us lost souls. I hope your charity continues and everyone helps. Thanks to Capitol Sound for donating the sound and lights. Thanks to the bands (weren't they great!!) for playing and being so wonderfully cooperative (12 bands on and off in one show). Thanks to my man Ed who tirelessly worked at making a cinder block warehouse sound as good as it did at the Marble :) Thanks to everyone who attended ...sorry I couldn't chat more. Please continue to network and also try to attend the Tuesday Night Jam sessions at the Warehouse to keep the music alive. Robin |
| As soon as we heard about the reunion, my wife and I knew we'd be going. We met in a bar (EJ Buggs) and often frequented bars. Sounds trashier than it was.... I had performed at the Marble with bands like Head Over Heels (country rock, R&B, blues) and Tommy Roberts and the Tristeros (all originals plus two covers). In fact, the final performance of the Tristeros was at the Marble much to Roger's (God bless 'em) dismay because he really enjoyed our material. That was the beauty of the Marble Bar: creative original music got an audience while most clubs weren't interested if it wasn't on the radio. The Marble Bar was a must play place during its time. The reunion showed the variety of talent and theatrics that made the Marble the artistic hub it was in its day. It was nice to have a blend of the new and old at the reunion because the Marble spanned many things whether it be new bands, established bands, musical generations and styles (mainstream to extreme to on the fringe), and attitudes. The Marble was the place to go to see national acts (Tom Rush), up and coming acts (REM), regional acts (Richard Taylor & The Ravers), and local acts (Motor Morons and Tommy Roberts). We enjoyed all the performances: newer groups like the Molotov Cocktails and Jenkins Hollow, memorable stuff from the Motor Morons (new meaning to industrial music), and the antics in the audience, a prime draw at the Marble Bar, entertainment onstage and off. The reunion showed that you're never too old to rock and roll. And yes, MC, most of us old fogies know who the Spice Girls were and are. Unlike the past, we didn't stay to the very end and get to see all the bands. Our ears were bleeding.... Ah, the Marble Bar! Marv |

Hi, Richard--
The reunion was stellar. I wish it had been a bit better-attended...I only found out about it last-minute. I guess third-grade teachers are out of the late 70s-80s-punk loop! Let's do it again. :) I spent many happy nights at the Marble and the Galaxy. My boyfriend (Andy Small) played drums for Thee Katatonix. For a few years, the Marble felt like home to me. Amazing music and kind, accepting people. OK, now I'm getting maudlin! Hey, seeing the Slickees was always a treat! The website looks great--especially the video and pics. I can't wait for more!! :) Kathy |
| My daughter, Jessi, is the drummer in The Molotov Cocktails, the all-girl band that played at the reunion show. Her dad, Rick Davison, was a drummer in several bands who played at the Marble in its heyday - The NuBeats, Order Now, and We Grew Up.
As a surprise, The Molotov Cocktails played a cover of a song Rick wrote and performed with We Grew Up at the Marble back in the early 80's. It was a touching tribute from daughter to father, a totally Marble Moment! Sort of a Zen, full-circle experience! Thanks for inviting The Molotov Cocktails to play, LesLee! |
| Hi Richard, Wow your project sounds really cool! I didn't spend a lot of time at the MB, but I definitely remember the times I was there (mostly). Don't know if I'd have anything terribly interesting to say but I'd be glad to participate/help. For sure, I remember being there for the Motor Morons, Off the Wall (local band), Allan Holdsworth and the end of the MB. There was no place else like it! That's a cliche but it was such a indescribable place. |
