WANTED BY FBI



ARMED WITH TURNTABLE

AND CONSIDERED VERY

DANGEROUS AND BAAAD

DJ ANDUJAR was last seen in Greenfield, MA, he may

be accompanied by one STUDEBAKER HAWK, occupation,

“DJ” and “sound system man”, also a very dangerous

man armed with needle, mixer, and sub-woofer; may

also be assisted in crime by BONGOHEAD, very dangerous

with obscure Latin records of Mass Destruction.

CRIMINAL RECORD

These men are wanted by the dancing public for throwing

insane parties. They are responsible for nights such as

FUNK ROCK & RUMBA PSICODELICA. They are also the

perpetrators of such radio programs as CLANDESTINO,

FEEL FLOWS, & MACHO CITY. These shows have been

known to subvert the youth and cause the old to shake

their nyash.

CAUTION

DJs ANDUJAR, STUDEBAKER HAWK, and BONGOHEAD have

been known to knock people out with little provocation

and on very short notice, using only a sound system and

vinyl records.

ADVISORY: These men are highly dangerous in a crowd and

are capable of inciting riot and mayhem. So do not attend

their gigs at places like THE PEOPLE’S PINT because you are

sure to wear a hole in your last pair of shoes. You will be

made to search incessently for their music (but you won’t


find it any where else!).

If anyone knows the whereabouts of the SWEET EXORCIST

GANG, do not notify us. Go directly to where they are playing

and enjoy yourself.
