New Wave Cabaret #1-1/21/97

The first new wave cabaret was on my actual 30th birthday, at a Rickety Tuesday at the Next Decade. The show was opened by Scott Prarie, followed by Rib King, and then the cabaret began.
I have a tape here from which I am going to attempt to reconstruct what all happened...I know it's missing some stuff though because Dana and Karen and Scott Prarie sang "Tainted Love" and it's not on here. It may have been the first act, but I'm not sure.
Here's the rundown, and the performers to the best of my memory---please help fill in the blanks if you were there!
Host:Gary Anderson in an awesome vinyl new wave "tunic" with hair spraypainted silver! (pictures coming soon!) Cake: keyboard shaped, made by Gary
Dana, Karen, Scott---Tainted Love
Ernie and Alan? Mike? who else?---Atrocity Exhibition, Pictures of You, Read It In Books
Peevo---Cars and ?? and Cars again(gary singing) (robot dance contest! winner---Justin Ludus second prize Joelle)
Manny, Joelle, Mike--- Enola Gay, Underpass, Down In The Park, Being Boiled
(I have no idea who!)---Blister In The Sun, Add It Up
somewhere during these mystery songs was when the big fight broke out in the back and the video camera was knocked to the ground. I wish I had the video tape, but I have no idea where it ended up.
Jesse and the Waves(who all were they? besides Jesse trbovich)---The Puppet, Let's Go
(with special guest vocalist Randy Castanza)---Love Will Tear Us Apart
Randy made a cake mess all over the stage, I yelled at him about it, and he apologized every time he saw me for YEARS afterward!!!!
Spaz, Sharon, and ???---Ant Music, Stand and Deliver, Beat My Guest, Here Comes the Grump, Viva Le Rock

Please send all additions, corrections, or other comments/memories to me in the comment section or via email. Thanks!
