Lyres

Live At Cantones, Boston, 1982


SKU: MR 311  | 

A furious live set by Lyres at a tiny Italian restaurant that became the home of Boston’s underground punk and rock & roll movement. Along with Jeff Mono Mann Conolly are ex-DMZs Rick Coraccio, Peter Greenberg and Paul Murphy. A great live document of the band cranking out their early material, including ‘Don’t Give It Up Now’ and ‘I Really Want You Right Now’, released for the first time in almost 30 years.

The 1970s garage punk band from Boston, DMZ, had dissolved in a 1978 train wreck. Jeff Mono Mann Conolly, DMZ’s inspired singer and songwriter, decided to take a Vox organ-driven direction next in his Lyres. Lyres evolved into an amorphous group of players moving in and out of the band over the years with certain mainstays like Paul Murphy and Ricky Coraccio, DMZ’s drummer and bass player respectively, hanging in longer than most. Ricky Little Man Carmel was the original guitarist for Lyres and was with Conolly, Murphy and Coraccio when they recorded the classic 1979 45 ‘Don’t Give It Up Now’ / ‘How Do You Know?’ By the time Peter Greenberg, DMZ’s lead guitarist, returned to Boston from Cincinnati in the summer of 1980 to join Lyres, the original line-up had also dissolved and Conolly was filling in players on an ad hoc basis. The next iteration of Lyres had some staying power and included, along with Conolly and Greenberg, Michael Lewis, DMZ’s original bass player, and Howie Ferguson, who had been the drummer for the Real Kids. This band recorded Lyres’ first two releases for Ace of Hearts Records, the EP AHS1005 and the 45 ‘Help You Ann’ / ‘I Really Want You Right Now’. This batch of Lyres collapsed at the end of 1981. Conolly re-recruited Murphy, Coraccio and Carmel back to Lyres at the start of 1982. However, for the recording at hand, Live At Cantones, Boston 1982, Carmel was indisposed and Greenberg got the call from Conolly to fill in the night of the show. From a historical perspective, this night at Cantones is reported to be the only night where Conolly, Murphy, Coraccio and Greenberg – four fifths of DMZ – played together as Lyres – except for a much later Spanish tour in 2009. Cantones was an Italian restaurant in Boston’s financial district by day. By night, the suits were gone and left those cold and empty streets to the kids. This particular show is an energetic and raucous representation of the many, many nights Lyres cranked it out at Cantones. It was commonplace for the night to end at 2:30am with brawls that spilled out through broken windows into the street. This is a great rock & roll recording of early Lyres material with a bit more of a DMZ-edge to it. None of this material has ever been released before.
