It started in Miami, Florida, back in the eighties. The Wind was a fiery popcombo who “recalled the Beatles and Big Star” according to then-Rolling Stone writer Kurt Loder who gave the unknown group an unheard-of one page rave review in that paper. The group were local faves. The thrombosis-inducing live shows that went down at places like the Button and 27 Birds are still spoken of with reverence in the southeast. The band self-released the now-legendary “Where It’s At With The Wind” and the Mitch Easter-produced “Guest Of The Staphs”. A third LP, “Living In A New World” (Midnight Records) yielded the big MTV hit “Good News, Bad News”. Then, like all good bands and butterflies, the Wind shriveled up and died.

End of story? Nah. After getting involved in projects as far flung as TV sitcoms and surrealist musical theater, the Wind’s primary songwriters, Lane Steinberg & Steve Katz (now Steve Barry) found themselves living around the corner from each other in New York. Informally, they started gigging acoustically in the city with a young female Brazilian singer, Ella Conchita. They jokingly called themselves Teen Slave, due to Ella’s youthful appearance and played mostly fun covers of obscure sixties tunes and soundtrack themes. Then, one day, Ella’s number was disconnected and her apartment was vacated. No note, nothing.
