The Optic Nerve

New York’s Optic Nerve playing at The Asylum, Lower East Side, NY. The Optic Nerve played a jangly, folk rock style of the genre. Led by Bobby Belfiore and Tony Matura, the group continued for years playing occasional gigs. Other members included Orin Portnoy, Frank Manlin, Ken Anderson (pictured), Tom Ward, Greg Clarke and John Fay. A veritable whos-who of NYC garage musicians.
