...Thanks for the comments and stories BB and Blair!<br /><br />And Blair i'll have to try and find some Senders recordings.

It had begun with The Senders playing on Monday nights in October of '88. These shows were no charge. And back then, the place still served food. I was at the first edition of what later became known as The SenderThing on a date. I doubt there were more than 5 people there for the show besides us...if that. But the next week there were 10. And then 20. They continued into November, at which point more people started to show up.<br /><br />The Senders took December off, but came back in January and February. Pretty soon, the place was jammed every Monday night. And they'd have guest bands - like The Waldos, Devil Dogs, DaWillys, Headless Horsemen, etc. - open. And other times, they'd also have Walter Lure join them onstage for a couple songs. And sometimes Johnny Thunders would join the party. (Note: Johnny was a member of The Senders for a couple weeks in '79.)<br /><br />Typically, The Senders would do 2 months of Mondays, then have another band - like the ones I mentioned earlier - take over for a month. So we'd sometimes get a month of Monday nights with The Waldos. Of course, these bands - when they weren't doing the Monday night residency - were also playing weekend gigs at the club. And gigs elsewhere. It was a pretty fantastic time.<br /><br />Really, the idea that Monday night was such a happening time was great. The place was absolutely stuffed with people. Beautiful girls, tons of fans and lots of musicians ready for a great time.<br /><br />- Blair B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34547785.post-28778105690369945912014-08-26T19:34:16.117-04:002014-08-26T19:34:16.117-04:00I only knew Tony & Charlie as members of The W...I only knew Tony & Charlie as members of The Waldos, but both were always really nice guys.<br /><br />Tony was always especially friendly. I remember one day I found myself driving east on the Long Island Expressway. A car drew even with me on the right and we looked at each other...TONY! We both grinned and went on our way.<br /><br />I was quite saddened when both Charlie and Tony passed. Really good guys.<br /><br />- BBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34547785.post-18970573053403198272013-08-10T16:46:48.044-04:002013-08-10T16:46:48.044-04:00Charlie od'd ,Tony died of liver cancer.Walter...Charlie od'd ,Tony died of liver cancer.Walter ,Jeff ,Joey Pinter,still alive.If you are lucky enough to catch Lure and Pinter together you may get a glimpse of NYC<br />underground rock and roll at it's best.

Tony - Anthony - was my best friend. Usher at my wedding. Godfather to my son, Christopher. After his tour with Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers, I hired him into IBM. <br />Tony was the sweetest, gentlest, most generous, and most *charming* person I ever knew. He started out by forming "Mike Pardo and Straight Edge" in the Unionport Section of the Bronx in 1977. They eventually played in the Original Max's Kansas City a number of times. After that came "The Knots" with two singles on Ideal records, "Action" and "Heartbreaker" (on YouTube). Then a short stint with a band called The Eastsiders (no recordings; very Mink DeVille-influenced). Then Walter, Joey, Charley and "The Knots." Tony truly was the driving force behind "Rent Party," as Walter has stated many times.
