BB Spin

BB Spin, like New York's Mink DeVille, played a gritty, punk-inflected brand of R'n'B; their stage presentation also had elements of Roxy Music-style glam. They attracted a devoted following from LaMere Vipere, where three of the members--Steve Miglio, Monica Lynch and John Molini-worked. Early sets blended original songs by John "Johnny Moe" Molini with covers of r'n'b standards ("Bright Lights, Big City", "Shame,Shame,Shame")and punk favorites (Iggy's "Funtime" and "TV Eye", "Teenage Depression" by Eddie and the Hot Rods). Monica Lynch later achieved far greater renown and influence as President of Tommy Boy Records, which released a number of seminal hip hop records under her tenure. After leaving Tommy Boy, Monica began hosting a radio show on WFMU. BB Spin released one album as a band.
