The Vipers

The Vipers at Irving Plaza, New York, NY. Jon Weiss, David Mann, Paul Martin, Graham May and Pat Brown were undeniably the scene’s local heros. Having achieved notice for their blazing live sets, the group created original songs that melded the pop, psych, & punk aspects of the genre. After the group dissolved, most members stayed active in music. Jon went on to produce the highly successful Cavestomp series of garage shows.
