“Drive Me to the Park”, The Embarrassment

This way: Drive Me to the Park

That certain kind of Punk Music. Treasure trove hiding in plane sight here. The Embarrassment was an American quartet formed in 1979 in Wichita, Kansas, that was active from 1979 to 1983, but has reunited several times since then. The band consisted of guitarist Bill Goffrier, lead singer and organist John Nichols, bassist Ron Klaus and drummer Brent Giessmann. After the break-up, Giessmann played for The Del Fuegos and Goffrier formed Big Dipper. The band was considered a prominent part of the Lawrence music scene of the early 1980s. But they also came to Chicago a lot and I saw them several times.
