RIP Laurie McCallister, bass player for The Runaways and The Orchids. I received the sad news last night from other members of The Orchids. Laurie will be missed.
Laurie McCallister base player of The Orchids and The Runaways photographed in Kim Fowley’s apartment the summer of ‘77.
The reincarnation of The Runaways around 1978. Cherie was out and Joan was on lead vocals. That is Laurie McCallister on the left on bass. This photo was taken during the preconcert sound check at The Roxy.
When Jackie Fox left The Runaways living legendary producer Kim Fowley replaced her with Laurie McCallister. This 1979 photo was done in Kim’s Hollywood apartment which was kind of like a west coast rock and roll version of The Factory!
Sound check at The Roxy 1978! That is Laurie McCallister on bass after she replaced Jackie Fox.
