→Formation
Thomas Manning stepped forward and urged HY to perform an all ages gigs. The group, tired of traveling out of town to see gigs, approached Vik from Maggot Sandwich, who told them the basics and agreed to rent out his PA for the shows. Their first gig took place at the [[Metropolitan Community Church]] on [[Alcaniz Street]]. They booked regional bands Legion Of Decency (MS), Vomit Spots (Mobile) and Dispersion (Mobile). This show also was the debut gig for a local group called [[The Headless Marines]]. Only 50 to 70 attendees were expected, but over 300 showed up. The police arrived at the show, but were dissuaded from shutting it down. It was a great success, but the group was not allowed back.
Thomas immediately found a new venue at the [[Western Gateway Lions Club]]. Over the next four months they continued to host Hardcore shows in Pensacola including such acts as GBH, Agnostic Front, Doggy Style, Melvins and Straw Dogs. By the end of the summer 1986, however, the group was broke and ceased music production. At the end of 1986, [[John Fivgas]] took over things in town with his [[Avant Garde Promotions]] and booked both Hardcore and Alternative shows for the next year and a halfthree years.
