Uptown Bones 7inch cover

Uptown Bones were one of my favorite Philly bands of the late 80’s early 90’s. They seemed to be heavily influences by the Love Muffin but added in some psychedelic and noise elements to it. The band was Rich (Ashtabula, Latimer) vocals & Guitar, Andy Clees on Guitar and Noel on drums. The original bass player, Scooter Anderson (Thanks Eric & Art) was later replaced by Art (Photon Band, Tons of Nuns, Lilys, etc.) Collected below are 2 demo tapes (I don’t have the track names for the 2nd one) the first 7″, the split 7″ with Les Thugs and then the 2 cd’s that came out on the French Black & Noir Records. As an added bonus there some Flyers at the very bottom + a video I shoot from Johnny Brenda’s which was a sort of reunion with Noel, Art, Rich along with Brian from ELM. It was before the newish band Mt Vengeance which is Rich Fravel – guitars and vocals & Brian Campbell (Electric Love Muffin & Poppy)- bass & Nick Santore – drums
