Big Boys Photos

Below are photos of Big Boys opening for the Plasmatics at Club Foot, January 8, 1981. The promoters wouldn't give them a guest list, so the Big Boys decided their theme for the night would be, "Insane Asylum". Then they told the club they needed an extra 20 people onstage to play the "lunatics". Biscuit got the pajamas from his job at the Austin State Hospital, an actual mental hospital.
