Episode 102 - Richard Bacchus

We talk to Richard Bacchus - Guitarist for D Generation and frontman for his own rock n roll band The Luckiest Girls. No part of Richard's journey from a young boy to where he is today has been what might be considered the norm. Born in the UK before leaving for St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the West Indies at just a few years old, he would finally relocate and begin to call New York City his home. Here his journey into the punk rock underground of the iconic city as a young teenager would cast it's spell on Richard's career. It would allow him to cross paths with Punk Rock and Pop royalty before starting his own musical journey in bands alongside members of The Ramones and NY Loose before tasting the last gasp of big record label influence with D Generation. This episode is brought to you by our friends Dead Skull Coffee.https://deadskullcoffee.co.uk/discount/STVPlease visit The Straight To Video Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow this show.https://www.patreon.com/stvpodSpecial thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop
