It was at this point that Black Dots was made. Darryl got thrown out into the street by the bouncers after the band opened for the Damned at the Bayou resulting in the band being banned from the club.
With the Atlantis in reconstruction and the Bayou now off limits,the possibilities in D.C. were shrinking for the band. New York had CBGB's, Max's Kansas City, Tier 3, 2+2, A7, Hurrahs, The Eighties, The Pep Lounge and squats.
The scene was jumping so the band headed off to NYC for the first time. They never looked back.
