As self-consciously hip Yale students have been known to lament, rock gets lost amidst an onslaught of classical and a cappella music. "The predicament of New Haven in rock history," Bob Bannister, SY '82, founder of the Desperate Bellboys, one of Yale's first punk bands, said, "is that it's principally a place you end up on your way to, or from, doing something more significant elsewhere."

Hey Viva -- I was the guitar/voice in the band Drastic Yellow Plastic at Yale from 1990-1992. Is this a coincidence? I happened on this post completely by chance. Anyway, good on ya, and I'd hope the punk scene at Yale has kept it real.
