We figured we would need a producer to help us with the “Big Breakthrough”. We met Handsome Dick Manitoba from interviewing him for Mark’s fanzine “The Poisoned Pen”, and Manitoba steered us to Andy Shernoff. Andy worked with us to try and meld the “punk thing” with a sheen of professionalism (the jury’s still out on that). He took us to Springfield, Missouri to work with the legendary engineer Lou Whitney. We recorded through endless stacks of amps and high-end gear. We came back to NYC, and mastered the tapes at RCA studios. The best of the best! Unfortunately, Soul Desire was released straight to the cut-out bins and became our only release at that time. We toured out to Atlanta and back while re-assessing the “commercial breakthrough” approach. We went back into small studios in NYC to use what we learned, and record what we felt was “The Alter Boys’ Sound”. The band played bigger clubs like Maxwell’s in Hoboken opening for Soul Asylum, and kept recording to try and capture that elusive “sound”. We played our last gig at The Continental Divide for a live recording of all the bands (curated by the legendary Senders) that played there regularly.
We felt we had finally captured our sound, but the band was no more. JZ, Mark, and I had already been playing as The GasHounds, so our attention went there and a whole new batch of songs and recordings.
When JZ and I went through all our studio tapes from start to finish (1985-89), we revisited the thought we had long ago- can we capture our essential sound? We feel these recordings present the band as we always felt we should have been on record.
So, ladies and gentlemen, This Is The Alter Boys!

Many years ago I had the fortune to listen Burt Bacharach playing the piano at a Bar in the Four Seasons Hotel in Santa Barbara, CA. I was told he was one of the regulars and that he liked to play the piano 'for himself', so no one would disturb him. What a treat, a very 'intimate' performance'. I'll never forget it. Rest in Peace Burt. Your music will live forever.

Just heard this morning (2/9/23) that he passed.. Funny, when you grow up with something/someone, it seems like it will always be around, and so it's such an awakening when it's taken away. So many musical giants have passed in the last 20-30 years, so many who, like Bacharach, were household names when I was growing up. I'm a jazz musician, so I especially miss the jazz greats who have gone-- I have an old Encyclopedia Of Jazz, and every time a jazz luminary passed, I'd clip the obit and put in in with the person's listing..After a few years the book got so fat with clippings it became depressing so I just gave up... Time just marches on, and we all go sometime. To me, that makes it important to leave a positive mark on the world... to leave it a better place than you found it, so at least even though our lives are temporary, our deeds can have a lasting effect. Bacharach's songs will endure.
