(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)

The CREEM Archive presents the magazine as originally created. Digital text has been scanned from its original print format and may contain formatting quirks and inconsistencies.

HOME: Manhattan.

AGE: Always better, never older.

PROFESSION: Rock n roll warriors.

HOBBIES: Rediscovering raceless radio, redefining soul, keeping America drug/booze-free to stay hard (Boy Howdy will be the last to go!), boycotting Disneyland for discrimination against visually expressive people.

LAST BOOK READ: Men Without Women by Ernie Hemingway.

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Thrown out of Disneyland.

QUOTE: Rock n roll is confrontation, not entertainment."

PROFILE: Little Steven put the Disciples Of Soul together as a vehicle for his own work after spending time producing and/or playing for Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds and any other legends that happened to pass through Little Italy. With a sound based on heavy rock V roll combined with Third World rhythms and a Motown bottom to dance you to death, their stand is violently lyrical and aggressively ethical, proving once and for all that the bad guys dont always get the good clothes.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
