Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there... no matter what the lifestyle!! Harley Flanagan & his mom, Rose (and 2 unidentified friends) at the Max's Kansas City, NYC. November 21, 1979. Photo © Daryl-Ann Saunders (@da_saunders). 👉 FROM THE ARCHIVE: "The Stims (The Stimulators) were everywhere when I first started shooting at small, yet infamous) venues in NYC. I photographed them in a bunch of clubs and started joining them backstage before the show. That made a different group of images possible... personal, authentic. I was captivated by Harley, the 13 year old drummer; he was tough, snarly, Street smart, open-hearted and so, ok well, adorable (please don't hate me Harley for sayin so). Geez, that band could really cut loose. His mom, Rose, was with him at all shows. She would call sometimes to let me know where they were playing next, leaving a long, breathy message on my answering machine. I always always tried to make it if she called, even if it meant canceling work. She was great at PR and I think she got a kick out of having a female photog hanging around, documenting the band. A sort of built-in stardom. She invited me to crash at their place once when it was wayy too late to take the subway home to Flushing, Queens where I lived. Adventurous evenings started late (after 9 or 10pm) and ended late, till dawn (or never)." . 💥Portraits from my collection of the 80s NYC punk scene are in the current PUNK ROCK LEGACY issue of B Scene Zine (@bscenezine)!
