Legend has it that many years ago (1980) in the sleepy sun drenched town of Fort Myers, three men decided to form a punk rock band called Antler Joe and The Accidents.
Which may not seem like a big deal, but consider the time and the town.
Punk rock or what was known as punk rock was still in it's infancy.
M.T.V. wouldn't exist for another year- (Compact Discs 1982).
If one wanted a vinyl record, one had to drive down to the record store and pray said record into existence.Especially if said record was "punk rock". If the record was out of print, that was it- no Amazon.com, no E-Bay, end of story.
Years ago a friend relayed a story to me about an early Fort Myers punk rock band who had started a fight at a biker bar; by playing loud snotty music. The band had set up and began playing only to be covered in spit and oaths.
At the time I wasn't sure if I believed it, but as it turns out it was true.
