NO THANKS were a nyhc band circa 1982-1985. The first incarnation of the band consisted of Rob: songwriter and guitarist, Jimi: bassist and background vox ,Seth :drummer and visionary, Donna Damage: singer, feminist artist and band manager. This brief line up only lasted a few months. Demo 1982 was recorded at Noise, N.Y and NO Thanks played A7 and A7 annex every weekend. Fall, 1982, No Thanks changed dimensions and replaced Rob with bands bassist Jimi and added Jaime on bass. No Thanks recorded Are You Ready to Die? winter 1983 with Tony and Cleo7, Deadspace Records and A7 collaborators. Playing tons of shows mainly in Manhattan, No Thanks opened for Husker Du, Dead Kennedys, Necros,Bad Posture and MDC. No Thanks also gigged around with XKI, False Prophets, Drunk Driving, Savage Circle,Rapid Deployment Force and many other local NYC bands. NO THANKS shared a 5 floor walk up apartment on E 11st between B & C. The East Village was the last frontier in downtown Manhattan. It was also one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America. It was the closest thing to anarchy in the U.S. Art flourished and a community formed in the ruins of industrial America.The music of No Thanks reflects this energy, raw, angry and fast full of Raygun era angst. Hanging out in Tompkins Square Park waiting for nuclear war. Little did any of us know then how far the rabbit hole would go and go... KEIFER MODOREEFER 2005

In the early 80's when I was active punk rocker I truly believed that Reagun and his cronies were really going to nuke the world and now 25 years later with the same people in power taking materialism into the final stages,emptying the earth of her blood to run the cars and SUV's currently destroying the planet. Mother Earth herself is taking it all back. Why? The rampant disregard of her resources coupled with the spiritual poverty of the human race.Example: Sitting back with a full stomach, blinded by recreation and letting your $$ do the dirty work. ...Hmmm.. The time is now! Children of the Mother Earth get your shit together. Prepare for massive Earth Upheaval. Get off the grid..plant a garden.. so you will have food. Move to higher ground. Look at the weather worldwide. Check out the end date of the Mayan Calender..2012.. OHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! ddddamage Mendocino Coast 2005 moving to higher ground!
BLESSINGS!! Gee..it's been a fantastic trip! See you on the other side!
