PHLEGM performed in the Washington DC area mostly but did make one trip England and Ireland to play a couple of clubs. That band broke up after that experience and around that time, Barry had met the resurging Kim Folle- a producer best known for his work with the Runaways(Joan Jett) and something with John Lennon and others. Folle was working in acouple of genres, but one effort was for a post punk, progressive new folk rock thing. Something very different than PHLEGM. I had given Barry a cassette of demo songs, one called Goin to Ireland that was inspired by the announcement of the tour over the pond. It seemed to have some impact on Barry, a progessive rock tune that painted a picture about a beautiful country, the blood and violence between English and Irish, but from a different perspective. He penned some very inspired words from my tape and out of that a new band formed called Timbre Silo(SILO for short). Barry was the lead vocalist and wrote most of the songs lyrics to Bill Warren's guitar parts, Rico Bowen on bass and to Donald Vorhees drums. Only 5 songs were recorded and presented to Kim Folle. Within a couple of months though, he got the acting bug and moved to NYC. I was shocked also when I first saw him on film playing a part as a top leutenant for some thug, but he was too nice to his captives. Anyway Barry seemed to be determined to gain fame or infamy- from a mohawk to an everlasting piece. You know his father was a Barber and I guess if Barry's star continues to rise, I own the rare Phlegm and ultra rare Silo....... BWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
