#245 The Fleshtones
If you didn't already know about the
Fleshtones you are in for a treat. This band was founded in the mid 1970's by
Keith Streng who was later joined by current member
Peter Zaremba. The Fleshtones came up in the legendary NYC punk scene of that era. Unlike many of their contemporaries like the
Cramps or the
Ramones they never really acheived broad notoriety. But they have cultivated a loyal underground following none the less.
This performance at the
Beat 'n Soul fest at Off Broadway marked their first show in St. Louis in over 20 years.
