As a once advid G’ville ’80s nite goer, how is it that I have never heard Martha Quinn’s Posse!? Did you ever make a cover album MDH???
No, we never recorded anything. We mostly played frat parties and frat bars. We did play the Dish a few times though.
I think all this happened when you were in Iowa.
Hey David….by chance I came across your page and we played together in Gainesville, FL in Martha Quinns Posse. I played drums and I have a copy of the poster for our last gig at Richenbacher’s on Saturday June 8th….it states last show til fall. Would love to catch up with you
