Thayer St.


Not a lot to say.







Thayer St (1984)

The Dogmatics were from Boston and I only really saw them a few times back in the day.

They have a website and apparently played a few times in some form or another in 2016. The website also has some biographical stuff that is better written and more succinct than just about anything I could come up involving the fun, beer and ultimately tragedy of their brief existence.

The only thing that I might add is that there is a story about what was likely a loft party where the Dogmatics were playing. At this said event was a young fellow name of  Charlie Chesterman who had only very recently moved to the big city from Iowa and who was in the process of forming Scruffy the Cat, a band I sorely loved at the time.
In the Dogmatics set they performed a song called "King Size Cigarette" which was originally by an obscure band called the Law who had put out a sole single in 1980 to little or no recognition. The song in question was written by one Charlie Chesterman. A awkward conversation occurred and everybody laughed and became friends.

It was a beautiful story.
The End.
