Clap For The Wolfmen Moonlighting with Los Lobos

Clap For The Wolfmen Moonlighting with Los Lobos

There was this band from Detroit called White Lines. It was right at the height of the punk/“new wave” thing, and White Lines got a chance to play Bookie’s, the club that’s kinda legendary in Detroit for being the place where all the hip bands of that era played. The guys in White Lines had real long hair. One of them was named Killer Whale. Some of them worked in the car industry. They wore blue jeans onstage. Fact is when Dennis Loren, who now works in CREEM’s art department, designed the cover of the band’s sole independent single, he found a hot young model to pose rather than using a photo of the band. In other words, they weren’t the most stylish band to ever take a stage. And they worshipped the Beatles.
