5.) Friction was an underground rock band based in Cleveland, Ohio, circa 1976. Fronted by ex-Rocket From the Tombs and Pere Ubu guitarist Peter Laughner, Friction served as Laughnerβs first band following his departure from Pere Ubu. The group, which took its name from the song by New York Cityβs Television (Laughner had befriended Television during his time in New York City), also featured Anton Smith (later of the Golden Palominos) on drums, Debbie Smith on bass, and Sue Schmidt on guitar and violin.
As with many of Laughnerβs other bands, Friction performed a mixture of originals and covers, often featuring Laughnerβs unique brand of guitar pyrotechnics. Handsome Productions recently released a live recording of Frictionβs November 2, 1976 set at the Pirate's Cove in Cleveland. The Pirates Cove set features what may be the βdefinitiveβ Friction song, Laughnerβs βDear Richardβ (this version also appeared on the 1994 Laughner compilation, Take The Guitar Player For A Ride, as well as on the rarities disc in Pere Ubuβs 1996 boxed set, Datapanik In The Year Zero).
There was also an early UK punk band called The Friction.

In the dead of night
During the darkest and quietest hours
Just close your eyes
Simply shut your eyelids
Yeah hold on tight
Maintain a firm grip
For sunrise
Until the moment the sun rises
Wait for me
Have patience until I arrive
I'll help you breathe
I will assist you in taking in air
Yeah you gotta know, oh
You truly need to understand
If you need me now, need me now
In the case that you require my presence immediately
Yeah I'll come, I'll come
Certainly, I will arrive
Yeah I'll come around, come around
Indeed, I will visit
Yeah I'll run, I'll run
Yes, I will move swiftly
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Shut your eyelids once again
And I'll be by your side
And I will be next to you
Those summer nights
The warm nights during the summer season
Our hazy eyes
Our slightly blurred and unfocused vision
We got so high
We experienced a state of euphoria
Just you and I
Only you and me
It's been a long time
It has been a significant duration
But it'll be alright
However, everything will be fine
I'll be by your side
I will be next to you
I'll be by your side
I will be next to you
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Shut your eyelids once again
And I'll be by your side
And I will be next to you
