Here's to go along with the first 10 pages of Marks In Time. Before there was the Go Go's, there was the Eyes, featuring Charlotte Caffey, D. J. Bonebrake (later of X) and Joe Ramirez. The Eyes tracks below include: Little Girl From Hell, Don't Talk to Me, and the cover, I Got You Babe.

These tracks and others are courtesy of Brendan Mullen of the Masque. While compiling MIT, Iraya had the brilliant idea to connecting with him regarding our zine. He ended up trading us a significant amount of early, live Go-Go's-related material...more to come. ~Eden Felt

Cool! The oldest live show I have of the Go-Go's is October 1978 at the Whisky. The one I REALLY want is the Mabuhay Gardens show that they put a few songs on the RTTVOTGGs compilation! =)

I was at the old Masque building this morning (6-10-2014) and it was an experience to be there.
The basement where the club was is still there and the original graffiti is still on the walls.
The rear entry doors that go downstairs are sealed shut now, so you have to get to the old club from inside the building.
A lot of music history from such a small place.
It is used for storage now.

The Eyes are one of my favorite bands of all time that took Artistic creativity and infused it with superior musicianship creating Punk Rock that the Dickies touched on, but lyrically the Eyes were light-years and quantum leaps above and beyond the Dickies. I LOVE that band. So it is difficult for me to say that, but damn it, the Eyes deserved a place in Musical fame that they were and are denied to this day. Their songs and lyrics were WAY over everyone's head at the time and still are to this day in many instances (Like the Germs) their lyrics have duality of meaning and depth that brings punk rock to the forefront of musical importance. THE EYES RULE FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!!!!!!

Charlotte Caffey wearing pantyhose gives me an instant boner like no other Go-Go could do...

About Marks In Time

This Franco-American, cyber-zine came about as a natural progression of two people meeting and discovering that their musical tastes - to a very large extent - reflected one another's. Interestingly, although our coming of age eras spanned oceans, continents, cultures and decades, musically speaking, we both understood the same language.

This project itself is in large part an outgrowth of a zine Eden Felt created with Iraya Robles in 1992 entitled "Marks in Time: The Very Early Go Go's (1978-1980)." As only 500 copies of the original 98 page zine were ever printed, it sold out immediately and was never re-released. Later, it came to Eden's attention that a handful of ordered zines were never properly sent out and received, which further motivated him to figure out a way to re-release the zine in some format for free, with additional rare audio and visual materials offered (some which have never been released to the public prior). The plan now is to release the zine in 10 page installments with relevant music uploaded for each "chapter." We further plan to offer additional related material - images, articles, art, interviews, etc. - not originally offered in the zine to supplement and update the topic.

To this day, the early punk roots of the Go Go's are still little-known or understood, so with the release of this site we hope to offer additional insight into this specific era of the early LA punk underground as relates to the Go Go's specifically, but also including related seminal bands from that scene such as X, The Germs, The Bags, The Weirdos, Fear, The Alley Cats, Castration Squad, Wall of Voodoo, Nervous Gender, The Screamers, The Zeros, The Extremes and many, many others.

Lastly, we would like to salute Paul Barber from England, co-creator of "Beatnik Beat," for not only encouraging us early on and offering insightful feedback and support, but also doing a brilliant job scanning the MIT document itself. Remarkably, the quality of the images look exactly as they did the day it was first hand-painted and collated on Iraya's living room floor, so thanks tons for helping us mate & cheers to you!

Enjoy / Amusez-vous bien !
