ON THIS DAY ... in 1990 - SHOOT THE JOKER

31 photos from the Bull & Gate, June 8th 1990

There’s nothing I can add about this fine band that I haven’t written before. They were one of the bands I always enjoyed best at the Bull & Gate and it’s such a shame that both front people Floyd and Debs have passed away as I’m sure they could still have been making intriguing music today. There’s also NO online evidence the band even existed.
