It seemed so promising at first.
Two items in the San Francisco Examiner bookend an eventful July 23, 1993, Red Devils gig at Trocadero Transfer in San Francisco.
Attendees were promised to “rock straight to hell with” The Red Devils, something called Pearl Harbour and Steve Verkey/Johnnie’s Problem, according to a July 18 ad in the Examiner.
