A cleaner version of this song from Dock of the Bus Stop

Compulsion (Better Version)

A fan favorite from the Something Invincible Release in 1995

Gentlemen Prefer Natives (shorter version)

This is a live set from the Kitsch Band from the early 1980's. It was performed at a suburban club called 2002 and was part of an audition for a record deal. This was the first round. We made it to the finals, but some ill timed profanity onstage cost us the deal. Our win was forfeited to the 2nd place band. The core of this band became Eraserhead, which lasted until about 1986.

Eraserhead existed for two years in the mid 1980's. This show we opened for another band at Grafitti, a national venue in Pittsburgh.

Bob Porter sang this solo when we did a live show on WYEP-FM in Pittsburgh in June of 1990. He dedicated it to his daughter who was about to give birth. The track is a bit noisy, but it is the only recording I know of where Bob accompanies himself on guitar. This one may definitely be for fans only, but it is a unique moment at a unique time in our personal history.

01 Just My Imagination (Bob On Guitar, Solo)

Bob wrote this song about the infamous female punk band Dress Up as Natives. It's always been a favorite and loads of fun to play. These folks in the picture celebrate the spirit of that great band.

02 Gentlemen Prefer Natives ()Long silence at start

We recorded this at Duquesne University, they had recently added a sound design major. We were Brian Cobb's class project. The songs came out well, and were the backbone of the Something Invincible release.

Magnet of Bad Luck

Balancing  Act was written while the band was working on a picket line for a local grocery union. We weren't hired so much for our activism, as we were for the somewhat scary images that we presented. It was work, and our release Welfare Dub, and this song, which was released a few years later, were the results.

Balancing Act

Citizen Beware is one of my favorites. Political without being preachy. I was blessed to play along with several great guitarists, but this song was always mine, and I have always been proud of the work I did on it. I'm even prouder of Bob Porter's lyrics, written as the Steel Mills crashed around us, they ring just as true today as they did so many years ago.

The Duquesne Sessions

Citizen Beware (Better Version)

This is from our second release, The Welfare Dub. It includes saxophone from Charles Rosenblum, a long time, part time member of the band. This song has not been released otherwise, and is under represented in our discography.

The Welfare Dub

Flowers of April

This is a live version we recorded ourselves. A version made it onto our first release. This is the entire unedited version.

Live From the Chesterfield

Smokestack Lightning (LIve)

This song features Toby Houser on Bass and Jeff Flaherty on guitar. We recorded this in the rehearsal space on a four track machine. It is one of the songs on our final release Something Invincible, which came out in 1995. It's short, fast and dense.

Problems With Electricity

This song is from the Welfare Dub release and is one of the most balls out tunes we played. Fast, raw and ripping, it gets straight to the point and shreds until the end.

Night Silence (Studio Version)

This song was originally released on the Welfare Dub Cassette. It is the title track of the remastered EP on iTunes and Amazon under the band name Thin White Line. With the opening lines, "Love and emotion begone. History repeats itself if we wait to long..." it's as pertinent now as it was 20 years ago. Another great Robert Porter song.

Superman and That Girl

This song appeared on our 7 inch we released with Smog Veil Records. It was re-released on a full length CD a few years later. This song is from the dark years when many of us were living on the edge of the law, and sometimes finding ourselves in a bit over our heads. It's less a celebration, and more a cautionary tale.

Live With Toby

Put my Feet Back on the Ground

This song is from the first album, Dock of the Bus Stop. despite some blemishes, it's a decent release with some great moments. This song was always fun to play.

Dock of the Bus Stop

Babylon Kids

This is a digitally polished version of a song from an earlier release now available as part of the Superman and That girl EP on Amazon and iTunes. It is the hottest track from the 90's and I would put it up against classics like Ace of Spades, Sonic Reducer or Anything by the New York Dolls. I love all those songs, but I think this is just as good. So pop on some headphones, buckle up and prepare for the 100 mile an hour propulsion of Thrilling Cities.

Superman and That Girl - EP

Thrilling Cities

This is Bob Porter's signature version of this Otis Redding tune. Many have tried, but few have made it their own the way Bob did. Wheteher ending the set, or ending the evening's performance, this song made it into almost every show's set list. I post this for the anniversary of his birth, to honor his memory and all the birthdays that we shared.

Live from Somewhere

Dock of the Bay

This song was part of our first release, Dock of the Bus Stop. We recorded this at a small studio on the edge of the city limits. It was one of my favorite recording sessions as it was the first time I realized how powerful our band was, and how great the legendary Robert Porter could be.

Everyone You Meet

These are songs from the first Thin White Line release back in 1987. Recorded on a 4 track reel to reel with just a few microphones and basic equipment, it's a great example of the punk DIY attitude of the time.

Tales From the Fortress Everything

This was one of the first songs completely written by the version of the band I was in. I don't remember where it was recorded, Definitely done in a real studio. There is no complete version available on any CD or record. Just this from a cassette.

We're Not Animals

Before Thin White Line, I was in Kitsch with my brother Tony, Jeff Goldhammer and a few different drummers. This song was recorded before we splintered into other bands. Jeff wrote it and taught Tony the bass part. I joined in later. I'm posting it to honer my brother who passed away on December 5, 2019. Peace
