FRIEND PASSES !!! STEVO

FRIEND PASSES
!!! STEVO

Stevo of the 80's VANDALS
has passed away in Maui,
where he lived
[info here]



STEVO
R.I.P.





Here we have good ol' STEVO

on a Goldenvoice flyer,
that's when we taped the
Vandals at the ROXY.
he made it a great show




" In fact,
we're getting
Punks out of the trashcans
and into the streets "



WE were interviewing Gary Goldenvoice
at office in the Olympic Auditorium
and STEVO was there
and KIKI * asked him a question? :


[kiki]
What is your opinion of the so-called

" BIG SHOWS " ruining the scene for small bands?
[stevo]
No taking away from the smaller bands, not at all,

I think it's making it far more acceptable.
In fact, we're getting Punks out
of the trashcans and into the streets.
It's like an epic event,
like Ben Hur when we play someplace.

At JOHN POCNA'S FAMOUS
ZERO-ONE on VINE ST.,
we interviewed STEVO again,
just after being told he could
not be a Vandal anymore
He showed us his LEGAL NOTICE
that he had no rights anymore
It was SAD but STEVO himself made
tragic comedy out of it...

...much later he called me from Little River
up by Mendecino were he lived
until moving
to the Island of Maui.
He wanted those tape copies of his Roxy
performance and Kiki's interviews *
at the Olympic and Zer0-one

I sent them to him...
I hope he enjoyed

the films as much as
we all enjoyed him

we will all miss this
great artist and friend
