Jen Grayewski photography featuring WALTER KRUG

I am proud to present some excellent photography by Jen Grayewski. Jen worked at Play It Again Records in Bethlehem for many years and has a rather impressive record collection! These photos are very iconic for me, because I became involved in the LV punk scene during this time (mid to late 90's). 

What is impressive about these photos, to me anyway, is how they really capture action. WALTER KRUG was a band that capitalized on the punk rock that was so inspirational of the late 1970's. Members, Jesse Short, Cody Short, and Erik Breiniger (I hope I spelled that right) were iconic of 90's pop-punk nihilism and the epitome of 90's punk sarcasm. They are reminiscent of The NEW YORK DOLLS in full drag, yet they created their own image. I have personally witnessed the antics of WALTER KRUG dozens of times, and they have been entertaining as well as criticized (anyone remember Rocky from THE ICK heckling them at the Tatamy Fire Hall show in the late 90's?). In so many ways I can compare WALTER KRUG to punk bands that were prevalent in the late 70's, even though the music was very different. Bassist, Erik Breiniger, was exceptionally flamboyant as depicted in the following photos. Brilliant.
