[edit] History



[edit] Outsiders: 1976-1979



The Fleshtones were formed in 1976 in New York by Keith Streng (b. Sep 18, 1955, New York City) and Jan-Marek Pakulski
(b. Aug 23, 1956, Lewiston, Maine), two roommates who discovered that a previous tenant had left behind some instruments
in the basement of the house they were renting. Streng, on guitar, and Pakulski, on bass, were soon joined by
neighborhood friends Peter Zaremba (b. Sep 16, 1954, Queens, New York) on harmonica, keyboards, and vocals, and Lenny
Calderon (b. 1958, New York) on drums.



The Fleshtones debuted at CBGB on May 19, 1976, and began touring in the early 80s. Starting in 1978, the group was
often joined onstage, as well as on record, by Action Combo, brothers Gordon (alto sax and harmonica) and Brian (tenor
sax) Spaeth; Gordon Spaeth (b. Sep 21, 1951—d. Mar 8, 2005) became an official band member in 1983.



In the late 70s, The Fleshtones earned a local following and played often in Manhattan at CBGB and Max's Kansas City.
Later, they found a favorite venue at Club 57 on St. Mark's Place. The Fleshtones were the first band to be booked or to
play at several famous venues, including Irving Plaza and Danceteria in Manhattan, Maxwell's in Hoboken, New Jersey, and
the original 9:30 Club in Washington D.C..



The Fleshtones shared a rehearsal space with The Cramps on the Bowery in 1977. The following year, The Fleshtones signed
with Marty Thau's Red Star Records (a roster that included Suicide and Real Kids, among others artists), recorded their
first album, and with filmmaker/artist M. Henry Jones produced Soul City, a performance-animation video composed of
hand-painted cutouts. The Fleshtones' first single "American Beat" was released in 1979 (re-recorded in 1984
as part of the soundtrack of the Tom Hanks' movie Bachelor Party.)



[edit] The I.R.S. Years: 1980-1985



In 1980, with the Red Star Records album unreleased (later issued on cassette on ROIR, now available on CD and vinyl),
the Fleshtones were snapped up by Miles Copeland at I.R.S. Records (R.E.M., The Go-Go's) where they would work with
producers Richard Mazda and Richard Gottehrer. The band replaced Calderon with drummer Bill Milhizer (b. Sep 21, 1948,
Troy, New York), appeared in the British Punk/New Wave concert film Urgh! A Music War, and released its first EP
Up-Front. Four discs on I.R.S. followed: Roman Gods (1982), Hexbreaker! (1983), and the live Speed Connection and Speed
Connection II (1985). In 1982, they appeared on Dick Clark's American Bandstand TV show.



Despite having a large cult following, the band never achieved commercial success: Roman Gods debuted at #174 on
Billboard’s album chart, the highest position that a Fleshtones album would attain.



Zaremba was the host of I.R.S. Records Presents The Cutting Edge on MTV from 1984 to 1987. The I.R.S. Records-produced
show featured up and coming underground artists. The program was short-lived (airing in a late night time slot didn't
help accumulate a wide audience) but the format later revived as 120 Minutes. Zaremba's MC talents surfaced again in the
late-90s at New York City's "Cavestomp" Garage Rock festivals.



In the mid-80s, The Fleshtones regularly played at the Pyramid Club on Avenue A in the East Village, where Streng booked
shows at the weekly "Mod Teepee," and The Fleshtones were instrumental in helping to start Wigstock, the
drag-queen festival that became a New York City staple.



[edit] Era of the Indies: 1986 to date



In the late 80s, The Fleshtones were without major-label support, though they continued to tour America and Europe
steadily, including shows opening for Chuck Berry and James Brown. In 1987, The Fleshtones made an appearance on the
final episode of Andy Warhol's Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes, an MTV program, during which they backed up famed English
stage actor Ian McKellen as he recited William Shakespeare's Twentieth Sonnet. The band recorded the title track to the
1987 camp-horror film I Was a Teenage Zombie that same year. They released Fleshtones vs. Reality (studio) in 1987 and
Soul Madrid (live) in 1989. I.R.S. Records released a best-of compilation, Living Legends, in 1989.



In 1986, Pakulski left The Fleshtones. Robert (Burke) Warren, Fred Smith (Television), and Andy Shernoff (The Dictators)
shared bass duties until 1990, when Ken Fox (b. Feb 19, 1961, Toronto, Canada) joined. Fox, who had formed Raving Mojos
in Toronto and played in Jason & the Scorchers, has been with The Fleshtones ever since.



The Fleshtones signed with Ichiban Records in 1992, where they stayed until the label's demise, releasing Powerstance
(1992), Beautiful Light (1994), Laboratory of Sound (1995), and More Than Skin Deep (1998). In the 90s and 00s, in
addition to self-producing in Paul Johnson's Compactor basement studio in Brooklyn, New York, The Fleshtones worked with
producers Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus), Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Steve Albini, Rick Miller (Southern Culture on the Skids),
Jim Diamond (The Dirtbombs), and Ivan Julian (The Voidoids).



The Fleshtones were one of the last bands to play at Windows on the World atop the World Trade Center; they played a
show there five weeks before the 9/11 attacks, and in 2002 played at a Night of Remembrance and Hope festival at CBGB.
In December 2003 The Fleshtones played at a CBGB 30th Anniversary show along with The Dictators, and in August 2004
played Little Steven's Underground Garage Festival at Randalls Island in New York City with 39 other bands, including
The New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, The Strokes, and Bo Diddley.



In 2003, The Fleshtones signed with Yep Roc Records, which has released Do You Swing? (2003), Beachhead (2005), Take A
Good Look (2008), and Stocking Stuffer (2008).



[edit] Book, Tribute, and Feature Documentary

    * Vindicated! A Tribute to The Fleshtones was released in 2007 on vinyl by Larsen Records (France) and on CD by
Dirty Water Records (U.K.). The album features 23 international bands (including Hoodoo Gurus, the Nomads with Handsome
Dick Manitoba, the Slickee Boys, the Woggles, Snax, the Swingin' Neckbreakers, Richard Mazda, the Subway Surfers, the
Insomniacs, and others) covering songs spanning the Fleshtones' career.
