Coming out of the pre-punk Boston rock & roll scene, Nervous Eaters were as tight and professional as any working band around, with links to Willie “Boom Boom” Alexander and legendary blues harp player Tony Cagnina and regular gigs at The Rat. They roared through the punk era, opening for national and international acts, then toured on their own, and just kept going. This year sees a new album and a reissue of the classic 1985 Hot Steel and Acid. PKM spoke at length with Eaters’ mainstay Steve Cataldo.
Upon news that the second volume of Nervous Eaters rarities, Eaterville II, is coming out very soon, I thought I’d repost my interview with leader Steve Cataldo, from about 2 years ago when the band released a fine new album. Click that link above!
And here’s a 1978 live radio show for ya too!
