Handsome Dick at Maxwell's (12-31-1989)

On December 31st, 1989, Handsome Dick played at Maxwell’s! Handsome Dick is the moniker for Richard “Handsome Dick” Manitoba, the lead singer of New York City punk band The Dictators. The Dictators arose during the New York punk-rock scene of the mid-1970s and released a trio of albums during that decade before splitting in 1981. In the mid-1980s, Handsome Dick formed Manitoba’s Wild Kingdom which eventually included so many former members of the Dictators that they reverted to that name in the early 1990s.
