Happy birthday my friend Stv Bators. Miss ya.
The Dead Boys backstage at The Starwood in 1980. Stv Bators was always pulling his pants down.
Thank you Theme for the cool article and interview!
The Dead Boys backstage at The Starwood checking all of their moving parts in 1978.
The Dead Boys were an amazing band to photograph. Especially their charismatic lead singer Stiv Bators. More than once when I would point my camera in the direction of Stv, he would pull his pants down. Not sure if this was for pure shock value or if he just got a kick out of exposing himself. This photo was taken backstage at The Starwood in ‘78 in their smoke and groupie filled dressing room. FYI, Stiv had the hottest chicks in the industry!
Here is a real gnarly vintage photograph of my pal Stiv Bators from The Dead Boys taken in North Hollywood back in 1977. What do you think of this one?
Bebe will love seeing herself over a double page sucking on Stv’s tongue at a Fiorucci party back in 1978!
**Bebe, I will be in New York later this week! xoxo, brad
