"Boston Tea Party" Plaque Dedication Ceremony hosted by Gary Sohmers featuring speeches & interviews with Peter Wolf, Tim Jackson, Dinky Dawson & others.

MMONE celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Boston Tea Party, the legendary 1960s rock ballroom, with a gathering of 100 Boston-area music people on 1/24/17. At that event The Bostonian Society unveiled an historical marker to be placed on the building at 53 Berkeley Street (at the corner of Appleton Street in the South End) which was the original home of the Tea Party. Since 1907 the Society has placed over 140 markers at historic sites, and this was the first time a music venue was so honored. 

The event was held next door at 41 Berkeley Street, in the lobby of the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology. In addition to the marker, highlights of the ceremony included Don Law’s tales of the Tea Party; a statement by Peter Wolf, and the presentation of a generous donation to MMONE by concert memorabilia collector and archivist David Swartz. The “good vibes” evident that day reminded everyone of the atmosphere that made the Tea Party such a special place.

Ted Dewart & Billy Corelle: Teddy & The Pandas Interview Part Two

Ted Dewart & Billy Corelle: Teddy & The Pandas Interview Part Two

Part two of interview with Ted Dewart, guitarist, leader & main songwriter & Billy Corelle, bassist & songwriter from Teddy & The Pandas. They were both interviewed separately.

Before they were called Teddy and the Pandas, this Beverly, MA-based, poppy sounding garage quintet was known as the Sensations, formed in 1963 with Al Lawrence (vocals), Billy Corelle (bass), Ralph Cooper (drums), Joe Daly (guitar), and Dick Winters (sax). In short order, keyboardist Dick Guerrette was added, and Winters left, replaced by guitarist Teddy Dewart. Playing mostly covers, along with a few originals, they got plenty of gigs at local school dances. A 1965 visit to Ace Recording Studio in Boston resulted in two original songs: “Once Upon a Time” backed with “Bye Bye (Out the Window).” The record — first on the Coristine label, then rereleased on Musicor — was a local hit on WBZ and WMEX.

They recorded a 10-song 1968 album Basic Magnetism on Capitol’s subsidiary, Tower Records. By this time, Dewart had left the band to go to college, and was replaced by guitarist Paul Rivers, but Dewart contributed to the album and got a “guest artist” credit. The album went nowhere, and in 1969, Corelle and Rivers left to form the band Doctor Feelgood (not to be confused with the British pub rockers), reuniting with Sensations members Winters and Cooper, releasing one album, 1971’s Something To Take Up Time. (taken from the Music Museum of New England website written by Ed Symkus)

Ted currently lives in Philedelphia & Billy currently plays bass with the North Shore based band Peacework along with former Dr Feelgood drummer Ralph Cooper, who was also part of the interview.

Unnatural Axe - Richie Parsons, Tom White, Frank Dehler

Interview with the members of Unnatural Axe, singer Richie Parsons, guitarist Tom White, & bassist Frank Dehler. Big in the Boston punk scene in 1978 - ’79 Originally from Dorchester they played all around Boston including The Rat, Cantones, & the Club, as well as CBGB's in NY & festivals in Rome. WBCN DJ Oedipus was an early fan giving generous airplay to its first four-song EP, which included the World War II sci-fi thriller “They Saved Hitler’s Brain.”  Unnatural Axe became New England cult heroes. Alas, stardom eluded them and the members went their separate ways, but occasional reunions have sustained into the new millennium as Unnatural Axe continues to spill its Dorchester seed onto an unsuspecting world.

Fox Pass - Jon Macey

Fox Pass - Jon Macey

Interview with the guitarist and bassist and founding member of Fox Pass.

Macey formed Fox Pass in 1972, while still in high school, when he had switched to bass and singing, and met guitarist Mike Roy. The band’s name was a Zappa influence, as it’s a play on words for “faux pas.” and the band’s sound moved into the realms of power pop. The local hit “I Believed” was released, but no record deal followed.

In the late 1970s, Macey and Mike Roy left for New York to join up with Tom Dickie and The Desires, with Macey back on bass. That resulted in a couple of recordings on Mercury, and opening on tours with Cheap Trick and Humble Pie, but it was Dickie’s band, and Macey was relegated to backup vocals.
Macey moved on to form a band called the Score, battled a heroin addiction, then cleaned up his act to start Macey’s Parade, where he was back on guitar, and which recalled his early folkie roots. That band lasted till 1994.

These days Macey plays with Hummingbird Syndicate, several recordings have been released, & again heads up the newest lineup of Fox Pass.

The Freeborne - Nick Carstoiu

The Freeborne - Nick Carstoiu

Interview with Nick Carstoiu, Lead singer & Guitarist from The Freeborne. 

The Freeborne was organized from the remnants of two local frat rock groups, the Indigos and the Missing Links. The two groups performed covers of Top 40 radio hits, but key players sought to move on from both bands in hopes of penning original material. From the two bands, the lineup of the Freeborne, a name inspired by the film Born Free, consisted of Bob Margolin (lead guitar), Dave Codd (bass guitar, vocals) Nick Carstoiu (lead singer, rhythm guitar, keyboards), Lew Lipson (drums), and Mike Spiros (keyboards, trumpet), In early 1967, the band began playing at music clubs and fraternities before attracting the interest of Barry Richards, a blues musician who, through his connections with the New York-based Monitor Records, had the Freeborne signed to a recording contract.

The album that resulted was titled Peak Impressions. Despite the Freeborne's age range—between ages 17 and 19—the group featured three capable multi-instrumentalists, who played a wide variety of orchestral instruments including piano, harpsichord, cello, trumpet, flute, and recorder

The album was released in mid-1967 to moderate success on the East coast. It's now a highly sought after collectors LP.

Chamaeleon Church - Ted Myers, Kyle Garrahan

Chamaeleon Church - Ted Myers, Kyle Garrahan

Interview with Ted & Kyle from the group which was recorded at the same reunion interview session as the Lost at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA.  Here they talk about forming  Chamaeleon Church & Ted talks about his time later playing with Ultimate Spinach.  There are comments from Willie & Walter from the Lost as well.

The Lost broke up in early 1967, Ted Myers, who had been the leader and main songwriter for the band, moved to New York City, where he was soon signed as a songwriter to the publishing company of producer Alan Lorber. Lorber had an ongoing deal with M-G-M Records and told Myers that, as soon as he formed a band, they could record an album. Anxious to fulfill his dream of making his first full length album (The Lost had only released a few singles, although they had recorded an album’s worth of material for Capitol), Myers recruited Tony Scheuren (his new writing partner) on guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals, Kyle Garrahan (formerly of The Lost) on lead guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals and Chevy Chase (whom Myers had met while visiting Bard College several years earlier and who, of course, went on to comedy stardom on Saturday Night Live and in many films) on drums and keyboards.

The Lost - Willie "Loco" Alexander, Ted Meyers, Kyle Garrahan, Walter Powers III

Interview with 4 members of The Lost at a reunion lunch several years ago at the Charles Hotel In Cambridge.  They formed at Goddard College in Plainfield, VT, its members — Willie Alexander (vocals, keyboard, percussion), Ted Myers (guitar, vocals), Kyle Garrahan (lead guitar, vocals), Walter Powers III (bass, organ, vocals) and Lee Mason (drums, percussion) — dropping out out to play professionally in Boston after their first semester playing together. They became one of the top local bands in Boston during 1965 and 1966, playing most of the clubs, like the Rathskeller, Where It’s At and, as their final gig in Boston, inaugurating The Boston Tea Party in early 1967. They also opened for many major artists, including James Brown, Sonny & Cher, the Supremes, the Shirelles and Jr. Walker & The All Stars. They toured the East Coast with the Beach Boys in the spring of 1966. The Lost were signed by Capitol Records in late 1965 and released three singles: “Maybe More Than You”/”Backdoor Blues,” which charted locally and received substantial airplay in New England and upstate New York, and two versions of “Violet Gown,” with two different B-sides. The first release was backed with “Mean Motorcycle” and was recalled by Capitol. The band then re-recorded it with producer Jerry Keller and the second version was released, backed with an instrumental version of “No Reason Why,” about a month later. 

Sadly, Kyle Garrahan passed away January 5, 2019 at age 72.
