Description
Chris Byrd good friends and fellow band mate with Eddy Detroit. “Where to start with Eddy Detroit? Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, it was there, in 1966, that he was in attendance for the first Iguanas gigs (Iggy Stooge's first band). He joined the White Panther party in Detroit and was "there" for the pre-punk sounds of The Stooges and MC5 ("We all smoked dope on the state Capitol and got beat up by the cops"). In the early '70s he traveled to London, where he stalked Marc Bolan and tried to seduce Tony Visconti's then-girlfriend Mary Hopkin. It was with Ms. Hopkin, when he was dropping off a demo tape at the Apple store, that he witnessed the moment when Ringo found out that The Beatles had broken up! (We've got the pictures to prove it!) In the mid-'70s, Detroit settled in Hollywood and started The Terminal Wave Band (bongo/synth/punk) which was the soundtrack to the hippy/biker/S&M/satanic/polyamorous scene that Detroit ruled in dingy, underground LA -- that's when he wasn't trying to seduce Nico (The Velvet Underground) to become one of his muses and lovers ("True story bub"). When rents in LA got too much for an acid-fried biker/S&M/punk, Eddy moved to Phoenix, AZ, and was seminal in fostering one of the most interesting underground musical scenes of the early '80s. He was an unofficial member of the Sun City Girls, toured with the Meat Puppets and Mighty Sphincter, and was the pith-helmeted shaman-in-residence at his club The Grotto!” – Forced Exposure Songs - Eddy Detroit "The Immortal Gods" Live from Brussels 2019 Eddy Detroit "I Am Pazu Zu" 1982 Eddy Detroit "Run To The Sun" 1982 Eddy Detroit "Nic Nak Kerouac" 1979 Eddy Detroit "Ghetto Lights" 1982   Links- The Real Eddy Detroit - YouTube Channel Eddy Detroit - Bandcamp Page Eddy Detroit - Facebook Page

Bohemia Afterdark first started as cable show in 1982 from Scottsdale, Arizona. Name of the show has nothing to do with the Jazz song by Kenny Clakre "Bohemia After Dark". His sing is first spelled differently then the television show. Afterdark as one word, such as things happen "Afterdark"...
