LORDS of the NEW CHURCH
Stiv Bators Music Machine 8-8-86
A film by Video Louis Elovitz
January 29 1988
... I got a call from Stiv in N.Y.,
he was showing the video copy I gave him
of the Dead Boys I filmed at the
Variety Arts Center here in L.A.,
he thanked me so nicely,
and asked me if I liked the Lords or the Dead Boys,
I had forgotten I also filmed Stiv and the
Lords of the New Church at an English Frank
party at the Music Machine in West L.A.,
and just humbly,
I said liked them both.
What a great person.
When I was at the Variety Arts Center
I waited in the backstage hallway
to ask if I could tape the band,
as the door opened my friend
English Frank was talking to Stiv,
I made an 'oldtime' movie camera
motions with my hand,
and Frank called me in,
introduced me and all was well.
LOVE YOU STIV SO WONDERFUL !

These guys occupy the same place in rock history as bands like the Dickies. They are not well known by the wider public today, but they had an immeasurable influence on major bands of today.

TERRIBLE CAMERA WORK...what a shame. I saw them in this era at the Berkeley Square...
