Personal Effects ( whose singer and guitarist were in the Hi-Techs) became one of Rochester NY's most popular new wave bands in the early to late eighties. They played shows with groups like 10,000 Maniacs, Pylon, and Chesterfield Kings at venues around upstate NY like Scorgies and The Penny Arcade and downstate clubs like NYC's Peppermint Lounge and Danceteria nightclubs. They played tour shows with REM in Toronto and Washington DC, and eventually released material on several indie labels until disbanding circa 1988. Since disbanding, three of the original members, Paul, Peggi and Bob are currently members of Margaret Explosion and have periodically reunited as Personal Effects in their hometown, and recently re-released older material and posted free mp3z at this location [offcialsite]http://www.therefrigerator.net/music/personaleffects.html{/officialsite] Original Members: Paul Dodd - Drums Peggi Fournier - Vocals, Sax, Keyboards Bob Martin - Guitar Bernie Heveron - Bass Discography PERSONAL EFFECTS ( 1983 ) 5 song debut EP PERSONAL EFFECTS - THIS IS IT ( 1984 ) 12 song LP PERSONAL EFFECTS - BRING OUT THE JAZZ EP ( 1985 ) 5 Song EP PERSONAL EFFECTS - IT'S DIFFERENT OUT THERE ( 1985 ) 13 Song LP PERSONAL EFFECTS - MANA FIESTA ( 1987 ) 12 Song LP
