Just wanted to clear something up..The above article spelled our Band name wrong..We were called Spit A Kiss not Split A Kiss...lol. Also,I never stated that Rudy left Sf after Breakouts split up on my Myspace Spit A Kiss profile which by the way has disappeared for some strange reason shortly after my last pc had crashed,so that may had something to do with that. What I had stated was that Tim Hitchman,the singer guitarist for Spit a Kiss and drummer for the Breakouts had Vanished. Some years later I made contact with him and he now resides in San Diego,Ca. As for Rudy Fontaine,Singer/guitarist of the Breakouts,I had lost his number and address a few years after i'd moved to SeattHOLE,Wa and when i last visited SF about 3 years ago,I walked up and down Page st in his neighborhood ringing apartment door buzzers trying to find him being i'd forgot which place was his and after all these years my memory is a bit hazy.. As far as i know he still lives in Sf and i'd love for him to contact me or anyone else that knows where all of our split 7 inch Spit a kiss/Breakouts singles are ,500 to 1000 pressed and our Breakouts 1000 / pressed cd's went. hell,I don't even own a copy of either one and played bass for both bands! I just wanna know if they ever got put out in the world and if i can get my hands on a few copies... Also i'd like to maybe do a Cd discography of both Spit a Kiss and Breakouts,all recordings and a detailed biography of both bands and maybe a write up of the scene in Sf at that time..I can be contacted at yellowjacketgardening@fastmail.fm Thanks...Geoff at Large Seattle,wa 2012

Comment on Plain Jane and The Jokes

I should chime in here as the former Bass player for the insults.
While I'm sure that the I played on each of the singles and the LP tracks compiled by Roger Mah, I can't be sure about the Plain Jane album. However we had started new recordings in the studio as The Insults, during which time the band began to split up, or at least I never finished the recordings or saw how they were completed. When I listen to the PJ LP, I think I recognize my own bass playing on a few of the tracks, but not on all of them. All of the songs on PJ were part of the Insults' set list and are identical in arrangement etc. R. Watts is definitely the drummer. Only Shively (aka Sikk) knows for sure.
We definitely all lived around the Monterey Peninsula. We even hosted shows at the fairgrounds inviting the Dils, Victims, Tools and others to play shows with us.
The first two recordings were in Watsonville while the PJ album started in one of the old canneries in Monterey.
The PJ album has some of my favorites on it. It was definitely had the best sound quality. Even still if all of us (The Insults) played on the record, it is Plain Jane and Jokes. Deborah's vocals give it a whole different style and sound. Not plain at all. But I'm sure there was a joke in there somewhere. Whaaa. There you have it, sort of.
(Disclaimer, I don't have any 7" vinyl to sell, but thanks for the continued enthusiasm.)
