I know what you're thinking. Who do these guys think they are ? That's easy, Men in Black, it's right at the top of the page. Also, that these guys have come up with a rip off name for a Punk Band, right ? Well, we've been Men in Black since Sept. 1977, long before the movie (which I kinda liked), joining a line of other MIB's, dating from 1934 with the 3 Stooges' short, "Men in Black", Johnny Cash, a pro golfer from the 60's named Johnny Player, the alien's secret agents, the term coined in the books of paranormal writer John Keel, the Stranglers (who dropped the moniker after being told of our existence) and of course late comers, Steven Spielberg, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. They're also calling the late, great NASCAR driver Dale Earnhart the Man in Black now and also worth a mention is acclaimed filmmaker John Sayles, who couldn't resist playing a man in black in his underground classic "The Brother from Another Planet".
Whew ! Now that that's out of the way, welcome to our web page. Shortly after being founded, we helped to form the 1st generation, New Orleans Punk Scene. Then moved to San Francisco, where we terrorized those poor souls too, until May 1984. We merged with the Wayward Youth in 1993 in New Orleans and are still going strong.
If you've been around any type of rock n roll for a while, you've probably seen hundreds, if not thousands of bands, and if you're still not sure if you've seen us live, than you haven't. You would remember. Love us or hate us, the effect was never indifference. At times, we're the wildest or most hated band in whatever scene we were in, able to clear any dance floor within minutes, or able to keep 'um, jaw gapping open to the wee hours. We've got no problem relaying this information, since many of the bands that are our heroes, had this same reputation at one time (or still have it), i.e. Zappa, Captain Beefheart, The Velvet Underground, and The Stooges. Another reason you haven't heard of us was that the whole point of the Punk Scene in the '70's was not to be commercially acceptable. If we wanted to go Pop we would've sold out a long time ago. Instead, we choose not to try to sound like anyone else (no matter which trend was in that year), develop our own sound, fuse energy, musicianship (not too much though), impressionism, insanity, noise, poetry, atonality, poly-rhythms, electronics and good old American sweat. If it sounds like a little too much, than maybe it is.
Thanks for stopping by, cum again.

details and blog to follow
collie will be resentenced in april (as ordered by the supreme court ruling of last year) however the legislature quickly re wrote the law and so the judge doesnt have to do anything else than he already did. and the appeal lawyer says that although it makes no sense that the new law essentially says the same as the old law which the us suprememe court said wont walk....thats the way it is right now.
