I saw them at the Whisky a Go Go before they appeared on SNL. KROQ was playing "New York’s Alright If You Like Saxophones" and "I Don't Care About You" in heavy rotation.
I was expecting Lee Ving to be a typical punk singer, but I was blown away by how good he was. Early in the set they played some kind of jazz-style song and I realized the guy had some amazing vocal skills. One of the last songs they did was Hank Williams was Queer, which got the crowd laughing and riled up.
