Marquee wound up with them getting a generic metal band called something like Headmistress.
Getting a little off-topic here but the Meat Puppets support at the Marquee were Headmaster, a vile Van Halen/Benatar ripoff who as I recall it attempted a singalong in their last song ("Oh yeah!") to the deafening sound of (tumblin') tumbleweeds. Excruciating! That's what you'd get at that stupid venue back then though for support acts.
Did anyone ever actually see Zoogz Rift play?

I remember a terrible glam metal band called the Dirt Merchants opening for Pussy Galore in L.A. in 1989. Similar sort of "who's available to play on Monday night?" feeling.

if you play in a local band you get stuck on all kinds of weird bills

at that point in LA it was probably "who's willing to pay the most to open for Pussy Galore"

I absolutely fucking love "Love Dissolves" on that Angst album and hope one day to like more of it
I kind of think YES, cos I think we need a definitive answer on the Jambang vs Mojack question.― Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Farting in Space (NickB), Wednesday, March 31, 2010 9:08 AM (twelve years ago) bookmarkflaglink

I would not have imagined ZR played out a lot. Full disclosure I listened to Island of Living Puke about a hundred times in the late 80s

Full disclosure I wore the grooves clean on Always August "Largeness With (W)holes" in 1987 or so
