Hall and Oates, then called Whole Oates, had their first public performance here on 12/5/70. It is pretty well documented on the Web. What I could not find was the exact address for Hecate's Circle, a coffee house located on premises that may have housed various coffee houses over time, including Buck Dancer's Choice and People's Choice. Anyone with better information, please comment below. I see that one of my favorite bands of the late 70s, Johnny's Dance Band, played here as well. [Ed. - address originally stated as Chelten and Germantown Aves., revised in light of comment below. Thank you. (9/25/15)] [Found the exact address, 168 E. Chelten, in a blurb about the change of Hecate's Circle to Buck Dancer's Choice, at https://www.newspapers.com/image/184956518/?terms=hecate%27s%2Bcircle%2Bchelten. (2/23/17)]

Comments : Eric Bazillion, now of The Hooters, was the hot 16 year old lead guitarist of Evil Seed. Frank Stallone (Sylvesters brother) played under the name Valentine, which was also the name of his band that played there. Also Michael Bacon, Kevins brother. As I recall, he was part of a folk duo called Good News.
