One of my rockstar crushes in the early '90s, Bliss Blood of Texas band The Pain Teens from their show at The Off Ramp. The Pain Teens did a great cover of "Gary Gilmore's Eyes," originally done by UK punk band The Adverts. I totally thought the band broke up a decade ago, but apparently they still exist.

You're right, the Pain Teens broke up in 1995. But I have a myspace page and a Pain Teens section on my website to keep in touch with fans and friends.
Thanks for the great photos and for the crush!
