The Coming Of Clemma Rock: ' Mutants Go Geek

DETROIT—They are a deep bunch. A collection of thieves, bikers, French students, teenyboppers, magazine editors, record label personnel. They gather together, all over Detroit, to see the Mutants. (These Mutants are not to be confused with San Franciscos. Sniffs John "Toto" Amore: "I dont want to be associated with people called Joey Mutant and Susie Mutant. I mean, its a stupid name, but its ours...its been ours for ten years!") This eccentric fanaticism began in the early 70s and continues now into the new decade, the following stronger —and more diverse—than ever.

They are a loyal bunch. The Mutants have picked them up at virtually every concert venue Detroit has to offer; and by now theyve nearly played them all. Since 1975, the Mutants have supported* Ritchie Blackmore, Patti Smith, the As, have headlined countless area clubs (including Bookies), and singer Art Lyzak has booked the group at his mothers club, Lilis, where the Mutants are afforded a natural residency.
