UntitledI was in The Boys from Nowhere- named after a ripping DMZ song! Later monoman "stole" our drummer Johnny Bernardo...RIP Johnny. The Customs are "Lyre like" as mentioned, also there is a band here in Cincinnati now called the Long Gones who are great fun.

Alexander said:Yes,"The way...." is a great song-I like most the cd"the early years79-83"(Crypt records),because it has this raw garage sound.I saw them once in Berlin in the 80`s-it was amazing-LYRES rule!!!But DMZ are also VERY VERY good.

UntitledI like DMZ WAY more than The Lyres , but , that's just me.
When Connolly was between versions of The Lyres , in the late 90's , he did a thing called "Man or Monoman" , where he'd play out with younger Garage bands in different towns , and do DMZ and Lyres songs. I saw him doing this , in Detroit , with The Hentchmen.

UntitledHear now the"Promise is a promise"LP- but what I just wrote on Thursday:THE EARLY YEARS cd is the best(for me!!).Even the vinyl box-set with the LP "On Fyre;Buried alive;Someone who´ll treat you right now" is great stuff but has not this raw,energetic power of the early years.
All in all LYRES are GREAT-specially L I V E...

UntitledI've got a mess o' Lyres lore stored in my cranium, from having shared dozens o' boss bills with them over the years, and having booked 'em at the Bay State and elsewhere, and put out Lyres and DMZ 45s back when Chunk Records was a going concern. My most recent shows with them in the Summer of 2010 proved that they've still got it in Spades. You might dig the "Songs the Lyres Taught Us" series from THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW. Five-plus hours of the original versions of songs from Lyres' set lists 1979 to present, bookended with tasty Lyres-type rarities from Mono's secret stash:
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #4: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 1
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #18: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 2
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #19: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 3
THE MAL THURSDAY SHOW #26: Songs the Lyres Taught Us, Vol. 4

UntitledLyres and DMZ are absolute classics! Lyres were the first garagepunk show I ever saw. Their live energy is incredible.

UntitledHere's a link to a cool radio show called Real Cool Time (hosts are on this board) where there's some video of The Lyres from the above mentioned Toronto show...Brian Young on bass, Rob Toad on guitar and probably Marky Toad on the drums and of course Monoman!!

UntitledYou should get into DMZ. I think I might even like them more than the Lyres. Another side-project of those guys you should seek out are The Customs... their "Real Long Gone" album on Shake It Records is great. Check this page for more:
