The "A" Room

The "A" Room was the most sought after room on Long Island.

People (like Rich and the Pitney Bowes guys) traveled great distances to rehearse here.

Others included: MIKE RAFONE (MIKE F), MADMAN (R.I.P "HAT" & "HOFFIS") DEJA VU (DOGGIE, HERBIE AND JOHN), LOIS LANE (EUGENE ET AL), STEEL DESIRE (VIRGIL AND JOE), PRIMO, IDLE STORM (WHALEY AND RON), VIRGIN STEELE, RUFF KUTT, LOST SOULS (SIDNEY), JOHN DOE (GERSH), TESTE FUNGUS (TUCH AND COMPANY), BOBBY RONDINELLI, JACK STARR, MIKE "DOUBLE LIVE" ROGERS and STINGER, FRANK LOSARDO/LLAMA, MYXWYF, THE ZONE (WEEDLEMEYER), PARADE OF DICKS? (TOMMY HENRICKSEN and JOHN DEVLIN?), WHEELIES OVER NAZIS and many others.

If you know of any other bands from the "A" Room, let me know, and I will add them to the list.

There were also many of the so-called "Black Table Affairs" which usually took place after the last booking. These were "Invitation Only" events, and if you weren't IN you were OUT.
