Where does a starving rock and roll band go to eat at 2 AM in the morning after a gruelling evening of entertainment? There's only one place in New York City and that is Wo Hop in (where else?) Chinatown!
A fixture in my life since high school, when me and my friends would at a moments notice (most likely after an evening of "ahem") drop everything and head into Manhattan for a late night snack.
Here's the band after a typical hard day's night, enjoying the after effects of our after gig meal.

Wandered through surfing power pop blogs. I noticed your keyboardist wearing a Brooklyn Tech t-shirt. Did he go there or does he just think it's cool to be an engineer? Thanks for the nostalgic flashback. 30 years ago I was at Wo Hop's (downstairs) at least a few times a month after clubs.
Great blog!
That's a good question. I've forwarded your email to him and as soon as I know the answer I will post it.
Thanks for surfin' by!
I'm Tech class of 74.Wanting to be an Engineer. I then discovered music. My band East performed there with Joey Kelly of Buddy Love,singing lead.I just attended alumni event that I got the Tech shirt.I still think it's cool to be associated with a great school. Wo Hop was a spot that I've been to in the past as a late night rock n roll dining spot.------David
