in mid 80s.. The Jet Black Berries were one of the focal points of the Rochester NY scene and playing opening slots for The Cramps, The Damned and the B 52s. Their 3 albums from the 80s are solid examples of Kinks/ Gram Parsons cowpunk with a heavy infusion of William S Burroughs in the lyrics. They might be best known for their inclusion on the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack. Check out their Desperate Fires for a solid example of mid 80s cowpunk.
