Teenage Love (edit)TURNIP
Teenage Love lead singer Rus Harper called his late-'80s gigs "a
Charles-Bukowski-meets-Alice-Cooper kind of thing." Members of Teenage Love,
who once opened for The Flaming Lips, played many of their shows on
autopilot, thus awarding them the title of "drunkest band in the South,"
Harper wrote in his article "Rus Can't Sing." (He claims he never even tried
to sing before joining Teenage Love.)
Guitarist John Sewell made each encore one to remember with his trademark
"moon" for the audience.
The band's fans were also known to have served LSD hors d'oeuvres during
what Sewell called a "punk/glitter/trash-rock hybrid."
