Gay!

The Gay Cowboys In Bondage were one of the better known Florida punk bands. Some of you might remember their track "Domestic Battlefield" from the Flipside Vinyl Fanzine Volume 1 compilation. This tape, We're Not Gay But The Music Is, was circulated in the South Florida underground in 1983. The Gay Cowboys shared a few members with the legendary hardcore band F (Pete Moss R.I.P.). Like F, The Gay Cowboys In Bondage were typical of the Florida scene, injecting a fair amount of snarky, childish humor, and terribly nerdy in-jokes into their punk rock social commentary. Thanks to the amazing Lou Ming for bringing this back into my life 25 years later.

  2. I looked at Lou Ming's site. I've never heard of a damn thing on there. It'll be fun digging through all that.

    I put up those three Ahisma records

  3. Lou Ming's site, as awesome as it is, might not be very interesting to non Floridians, the guy is the best archivist the old South Florida scene could have. So many memories and Charlie fucking Pickett! I still urge everyone to take a look.
