Incredible to find this! Way back in late '82 Urban Assault was playing at The Golden Grommet on Irving Street, in the Inner Sunset. During the break drummer Jim comes over to join us, he knows my buddy James Palmer (JP called Jim "Skinhead", if memory serves?) We're all shooting the breeze when Jim finds out I'm an ex-Navy nuke! He grabs a napkin and writes his dad's phone number - call him, he can help you find a job. *UNDERSTATEMENT!* Jim's pops is a brilliant nuclear engineer, who guided me towards a career that lasted almost four decades! And it all started right there, on a Sunday afternoon at The Golden Grommet, thanks to drummer Jim. It still seems beyond belief but yep, it really happened. And RIP to our good buddy James Palmer, who died of a heroin overdose just a few weeks later…

I am Jims son. Dad and grandpa both passed a few months back. I would love to here more stories of "the good old days". They were both incredible men I hope to honor their legacy. And yes grandpa "Bill" was a truly brilliant mind lol i will always be in great debt to his teaching and mentoring

Hi James Pearson Palmer was a close friend of James Kennedy Brunot, Kevin Callahan, and Paul DiPaulo.( James Palmer was not called skinhead. ) Dying young doesn't make you more glamorous, and dying old doesn't take everything you were away from you. Life twists time away, spend time with who you love because you can't bring back the dead.

San Francisco California 1982 Punk Rock. James Kennedy Brunot founder, songwriter, played drums and sang. Rest in peace. ( Various singers and musicians cycled through, James and Kevin were the core ).

I guess I’m the first and only to comment. Saw these guys in San Francisco in 1985 or 86 at the Valencia Tool and Die. They rocked!
