The two preeminent punks bands to come out of Boston in the '60s,
the Remains and the Lost, are making plans to share a bill at Avalon on
March 20. This will be the first local show for either band since a
brief Remains reunion in the '70s. Fronted by latter-day country artist
Barry Tashian, the Remains made the classic single "Don't Look Back" and
opened for the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965; Tashian has lately
revived the group for a couple of recent New York shows. Willie
Alexander's original band, the Lost, haven't played anywhere in more than
30 years. The week of the show will also see a reissue of the Lost's
long-unavailable Capitol sessions on Arf-Arf.
