THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER
Marshall Crenshaw was a mechanic and part-time musician working in Fairfield Ohio. Along with his friends Luther Perkins (Bass, Vocals) and Robbie Mcintosh (Drums) they secured a long standing gig playing the Westlake Drive-In movies. They would come on during the intermission and set up below the big screen. While the movie theatre was hawking their ads for soda, popcorn and coming attractions the band would perform the current hits of the day. During one brutal winter when the theatre had shut down for the season, the band found themselves playing to an empty snow covered field. At this point Luther quit and was replaced by Slev Brunsley. Knowing full-well that playing cover tunes was not a bridge to success along with the freezing cold temperatures that constantly put his guitar out of tune Mr. Crenshaw decided to come up with a new plan. Selling all of his mechanic tools he convinced the others to go with him to New Brunswick New Jersey. While there between gigs at Bo-Lings bowling alley and a part time job as a door to door latex salesman, Marshall met a Mr. Max Kansascity Max convinced Marshall to give up his job as a pinsetter and become a full time musician. After a few years of struggling and while playing a set at a car wash a Mr. Barney Trudy who owned a small record company and also was getting his car detailed heard the band and signed them on the spot. Well the rest is history. See scans
