sing sing july 2012 skip to main skip to sidebar 23 july 2012 snapshots since you ve gone after we posted the snapshots interview we got a few requests for the b side it s a toss up on which side s better posted by trey lindsay at 8 21 00 pm 0 comments 06 july 2012 snapshots no jane since you ve gone clic 1980 almost two years ago my friend over at pop n roll sent me an mp3 of an obscure power pop band from upstate new york called snapshots immediately catchy we both geeked out over the track and i created the obligatory saved search but with no other info to go on i figured it d forever sit on my want list fast forward a few years and it so happens that snapshots played part in a westchester band reunion concert with this little bit of internet presence we ve now got something to go on so we tracked the guys down to get the story on their infectious no jane single the westchester scene and what turned out to be a much more extensive career than expected now for some introductions snapshots are fc frank corbo drums vocals rm robert mag vocals jw john winhimer bass vocals guitar br bob rocco guitar vocals when how did you guys get together and or know each other what was the inspiration for the beginnings of the snapshots br frank john and i were in the first incarnation of snapshots john and i had been playing together since our early teens we had fooled around with a few bands but it wasn t until we met frank that we started getting serious we started out as a trio and released the single no jane since you ve gone we decided we needed a front man and after going through a few unsuccessfully we felt the band was struggling and needed a new direction robert was a high school friend of john and me and we really admired his art and loved his musical taste frank campaigned to get robert in and the rest was history rm i thought my role as lead singer was going to be short lived before i was officially the lead singer i was asked to join them for two songs at a gig they had at the pub for an all girl catholic school snapshots at the time was a cover band and had just landed a weekly gig here and i imagine they were pretty happy to be playing to a largely all girl audience i was into the second song i think it was cheap trick s i want you to want me a table of girls right near the front started to heckle me not sure why but i can guess because i probably sucked john in a moment of brilliance leaned over to me and asked what would alice cooper do after a moments thought i raised both hands and gave the main instigator the finger i don t think this is exactly what john had meant a friend of ours seeing this went over and pulled the chair out from underneath her making her fall flat on her ass we later found out she was the dean s daughter and needless to say snapshots were banned from ever playing the pub again i felt pretty bad about that but at the moment i felt like a rock star were you part of a westchester scene at all and if so what other groups where there with you jw yeah we were and in fact some those very bands performed in a reunion gig in the summer of 2011 snapshots the kingpins the norm and the latest reunited for this one night it was a blast other great bands at that time were connie and the linguistics and rusty dunn and the guns unfortunately rusty had passed away just weeks before the reunion rm it was really a great time living in westchester up till the early 80 s was really pretty boring there really was no music scene then all of the sudden radio stations started playing bands like the ramones stranglers squeeze costello etc and it was like a bunch of us from all different areas of westchester caught the bug at the same time it seemed like overnight there was this cool music scene it was awesome we all supported each other and would attend each others shows we really became a close stitched bunch i still keep in contact with some of the folks from some of the bands br we definitely had more fun than should have been allowed although we took playing seriously we took having fun even more seriously which meant lots of beer consumption i would say we played half of our gigs fairly tipsy our shows were like big parties we just had too much energy for our own good especially in the beginning when we were mostly a cover band seeing us was always a good time for all can you give some examples of what your shows were like rm like we said there was usually alcohol involved beer and pitchers of kamikaze s so at some point we thought it funny to do our encores in our underwear this became known the underwear set one night we decided to play a trick on bob while playing a bar in upper new york we said instead of underwear let s play completely nude we used the kitchen as a dressing room and to get to the stage you had to walk across the dance floor we all stripped down and made sure bob was first out the door as soon as he was completely out we slammed the door behind him leaving him naked on the dance floor with all our fans and friends while we stayed behind the door laughing our asses off he was a very good sport about it we did the same thing to him at a club in connecticut we waited until bob was just down to his underwear and then john frank and i went over to the back door and looked up to the sky we started saying things like what the hell is that bob was very much into ufo s at the time bob walks over only wearing his bvd s and looks out the door push slam and bob is outside in the middle of winter in his undies right where the line of people were to get in jw on stage it was always a party people were always invited up on stage the more the merrier we usually ended with twist and shout we could easily have 10 to 15 people on stage with us all helping out with background vocals it really was always just a big party i noticed from some of your old flyers that you played cbgbs a few times can you tell me about these shows did you guys have ties to the nyc scene at all or were these kind one off gigs did you ever do any more extensive touring fc we were really pumped cbgb s was a right of passage at that time great bands passed through those doors we once backed up richard lloyd of television you never knew who would show up in the audience joey ramone john bentley joe jackson we loved he crowds there br plus cbgb s had the best sound system around and decent lights something we weren t used to playing westchester jw we played a few other nyc places like lone star pyramid club but cb s was the place snapshots never really hit the road aside from paying some gigs in connecticut up state new york and long island i mentioned your gig flyers they re very well illustrated who s responsible for these br the guy whose art we said we admired robert mag did them all rm ha now that i am a professional designer illustrator i find them a bit embarrassing no design sense at all your only release the no jane single came out in 1980 on the clic label i assume this was just you guys pushing your own record right what kind of response did it get at the time any distribution or airplay fc the clic label was our own get it clic snapshots we sold them at at clubs and to anyone who was interested elsewhere we were really proud to have anything in vinyl that was recorded just before robert joined no jane wasn t our only release a few years later we recorded a two song flexi disc that we gave out at shows it included oh japan and wish me well we also appeared on a christmas compilation album out on johnny apollo records we wrote a song called christmas presence which actually got played a bit in some manhattan clubs at the time did you guys use a professional studio to record or was this a diy home recording any anecdotal stories from the recording session br yea at that time few people had home studios worth anything we recorded that no jane at wildflower studio in ny almost everything was live with a few dubs rm we also used to record quite a bit at a small studio in mt vernon called back street one day this guy walks in looking a bit shabby he interrupted our session to talk to the engineer we were like what the fuck who s this homeless dude wasting our recording time after about 10 minutes he leaves and our engineer eddie turns to us and says you know who that was ace frehley ended up they grew up together and were best of friends we were all huge kiss fans and here we were making fun of him is there unreleased snapshots material where there ever plans for future recordings jw snapshots wrote and recorded lots of materials we were pretty dedicated at the time rehearse three days a week and played out all the time when we weren t rehearsing for a gig we were writing new songs we all contributed it was pretty democratic we were most prolific in the new wave era loads of songs i would guess there are 30 to 40 songs in all maybe more when did you guys call it quits what led to that decision fc the snapshots ended in 1983 it just had done all there was to do on youtube there s footage from 2011 of a reunited snapshots where you guys played as part of a westchester band reunion concert what was it like playing these songs together again how was the response to the shows are you guys still playing together now jw yea that reunion gig was pure nostalgia we had not seen most of the musicians and many of the fans for decades it felt really great to play those songs and see al those people we all grew up together and shared loads of great times it was a great night what are you guys up to today are any of you still actively involved with music fc robert john and bob are still together in lostdog in loveland a glam influenced pop rock band and i am playing with long time band members in boom boom crash we have been talking about doing something together as snapshots for 2012 13 maybe a four song ep no jane since you ve gone additional photos additional flyers posted
