Drummer Jim was delighted to run into the mighty Chuck D of the legendary Public Enemy. They discussed the time Velocity Girl opened for PE at SUNY Buffalo and the two nights when Swiz opened for PE at the old 9:30 club. Solid dude.

June 1991. This was a Positive Force benefit to assist a local clinic. Cool lineup w/ friends Tsunami, mysterious Annapolis prog punks Moss Icon & Jawbox, w/ whom VG shared and shares many connections.
