A Boston kid infatuated with the Velvet Underground whom he once opened for using one of their guitars. After trying in New York in the mid 60's he returned to Boston and founded the Modern Lovers. This is the original garage rick band whom inspired legions of other garage bands and punk rockers playing a clean simple music with lyrics about everyday life.
The band has a Myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/theoriginalmodernlovers
The song Roadrunner was on the Modern Lovers' first self titled albumin 1976. Ithas been covered by such diverse acts as The Sex Pistols, Joan Jett, The Feelies, Greg Kihn, Yo La Tengo, The Jazz Butcher, The Scrotum Poles, Gary Valentine and Phish.
It has been described as the prototypical rock song and I heartily agree.
