Gary and Nuno aren't the only talented members of their families! I've been fortunate to catch some of their brothers "in the act" over the years as well.

One of Greg & John's promo photos, circa 1996

Performances Attended August 16 & 18, 1996 Barnes & Noble Saugus, MA Kelly Bowman and I interviewed Greg and John after the August 16th show. If I ever get the punchline's archives online, you'll be able to read it. ;-)

Flesh

Markus Cherone & Lisa Simmons in Hudson, MA

Thank goodness Flesh opened for Extreme during the punchline tour! Otherwise, I would never have experienced their infectious energy. I didn't attempt to photograph them during that tour, but here are photos of Markus and Paulo from one of the Hudson Street Hockey games... One of these days, I will catch Markus' current band, superZero in concert...I swear...

Sweet Citizen

L-R: John, Pedro, Shawn at The Lucky Dog

Sweet Citizen is a relatively new band. In fact, these photos were snapped at their first-ever public gig in August, 2000 at the Lucky Dog in Worcester, MA. The members are Shawn O'Connor on guitar and lead vocals, John Bettencourt on bass and vocals and Pedro Andrade on drums and vocals. They play rocking original tunes.
