I just finished this poster for a show happening next month. It should be fun. Once upon a time, in the 90s, there was a band called Marcus Hook. The name comes from a little burg in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania. It is known for its oil refineries and bleak horizon. Marcus Hook's bandmembers dispersed to the far reaches of Maryland, Delaware, San Francisco and somewhere in PA (not Marcus Hook). They produced many CDs and records (on Neck Records) and played many fine shows. Although Marcus Hook is long gone, its members play in The Barons, Tube Dutch, Caterpillar, etc. Most of the members will play during this show here in Wilmington on July 6, hence the flyer. The brothers Duvall are an interesting act. I'm hoping Al plays his banjo and Andy hits a skull and fire alarm with his drum sticks while he taunts the crowd. But I expect the unexpected. A band called Smashing Orange once featured Rick from Tube Dutch, but that was long after he and The Baron's Kurt played in Your Worst Nightmare and The Stiffs back when Stiffs singer Rich could thrash a party and threaten everyone within arms length wearing a lunatic grimace and a Madonna T-shirt.
