As I was saying, back in 1984, Richard Edson led a band called Konk that was a tremendous good time. So many people up on stage you know they couldn't make a lot of dough. They would play around the city including Danceteria. (Thanks for the Internet, there is this great resource for old Danceteria flyers). Here's a Jon Pareles review from 1982:
"Konk, a septet with three horns and a rhythm section, is primarily an instrumental band. Their songs mix and match rhythms, with a little salsa, a little Motown, and a lot of James Brown funk, topped by dissonant horns."
(he actually goes on to critique them but I am leaving that part out).
