With lightning-fast, three-chord odes to teenage rebellion, sexual frustration, boozed-fueled destruction and skateboarding obsession, Gang Green was by far the best-known Boston-based band to arise from the hardcore scene that originated in Los Angeles around 1978. With their irreverent, goofball humor and boozed-up, coked-out shows, the group bui...
Guitarist-vocalist Doherty formed the first incarnation of Gang Green in 1980, when he was a 15-year old student at Braintree High School, with fellow teens Bill Manley (bass) and Mike Dean (drums). After cutting their teeth primarily at parties in friends’ backyards, in 1981 the trio began playing at notable Boston venues including Cantone’s, The ...
In early 1983, Modern Methods released the six-song EP Unsafe at Any Speed, which included Gang Green’s “Selfish” (1:44), and in mid-1983 the original trio went their separate ways. Doherty joined Jerry’s Kids, as did Dean after a stint in the military, and Manley moved to Hawaii. Later that year, Doherty left Jerry’s Kids to join Stranglehold, the...
In 1986, Taang! released the band’s debut album, Another Wasted Night, which The Boston Phoenix and WFNX put at #19 in their top-50 “Boston Rocks” list that year. The 10-track disc includes a cover of ‘Til Tuesday’s 1983 hit “Voices Carry” – the longest song on the LP at 3:28 – and the two-minute-long “Alcohol,” which has been covered by bands from...
Gang Green’s lineup changed again soon after the release of Another Wasted Night, with the Stilphen brothers leaving to form Mallet-Head and Gustafson joining The Outlets. The new incarnation consisted of Doherty, guitarist Fritz Erickson, bassist Joe Gittleman of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and drummer Brian Betzger of Jerry’s Kids. In 1987, after...
Gang Green’s first LP for Roadrunner, released on its Emergo imprint, was the 12-track You Got It, recorded in Carlisle, Massachusetts, at Blue Jay Recording Studio. Gone were the days of jingle-length jolts as the album included “Born to Rock” (4:36) and “Sick, Sex, Six” (6:11), though there were exceptions like “L.D.S.B.” (1:11) and “Haunted Hous...
In 1989, Gang Green recorded a third album, Older…Budweiser, in Warren, Rhode Island, at Normandy Sound, where musician-turned-engineer Phil Greene had recorded and/or mixed LPs for The Zulus, The Neighborhoods, John Cafferty and New Kids on the Block, among others. The LP differed from its predecessors in three ways: first, the socio-political the...
In February 1990, the band recorded their only official live album, Can’t LIVE Without It, at The Marquee Club in London. That spring, Doherty assembled yet another new lineup – guitarist Mike Lucatonio, bassist Kevin Brooks and Gang Green’s former kitman Gustafson – and Roadrunner dropped the band from its roster, beginning a nearly seven-year hia...
In February 1996, Doherty, the Stilphen brothers and Gustafson re-formed to play five shows, including ones at the Rathskellar in Boston and CBGB in New York City. Later that year, Gang Green resurfaced again with yet another new lineup; guitarist Mike Earls and bassist Matt Sandonato replaced the Stilphen brothers. The band re-signed with Taang! a...
The band’s fourth and final studio album, also recorded at Capertown and mixed by Minnehan, was the 23-track LP Another Case of Brewtality, issued in October 1997; it includes all six songs from Back & Gacked. Simultaneously, Taang! released Preschool, a compilation of previously released Gang Green material recorded from 1981 to 1983. Lyrically, A...
