Our manager Edwin Heaven took out a Billboard on Broadway which said "To hell with the old Waldorf, Nuns Free Concert Mabuhay Gardens. We then opened for Blondie at the Old Waldorf but our fans were so disrespectful of Blondie that we got thrown off the bill for the second night. The band members of Blondie were very nice and we ended up spending some time with them in LA while the Nuns, the Ramones and Blondie were all staying at the same motel on Santa Monica. It ended up being classified as co-headlining gig.
The band was offered to open for Blondie at the Keystone Palo Alto and turned it down as at the time the band could sell the venue out on its own. Alejandro was a big concept guy and had tons of artistic ability but at that time he was just learning to play guitar and made huge strides in a short time. I really liked the theatrics of the band and Jeff was a cool drummer.

Jennifer's Bowie and movie star fem fatale influences were in some ways opposite from the rest of the guys but this juxtaposition of styles worked so well. The band was rough in some respects musically but the concept was strong. MIKE VARNEY: I went to see the band in the fall of '76 and they were opening for the Ramones at the Mabuhay. When I returned Jennifer was playing in the band. I went away to college for a semester in the mid-west but still thought about the band and even wrote them from college but I am not sure they received the mail as they were not at that rehearsal space for that long. At the time, I think that Jennifer was 19 and I was 18. We thought that they were cool as they were doing something based on the glitter rock/glam stuff that Jennifer and I liked and were making an attempt to look cool doing it. The band at that time had some guys trying to go for a New York dolls look and others in jeans and t-shirts. Jennifer and I were listening a band through the wall of our rehearsal hall in San Rafael and we walked over to see who it was. Jesse Bradman was also in the band and he later went on to play with Killerwatt and then Eddie Money, Aldo Nova, Night ranger and Poison. MIKE VARNEY: Jennifer and I were in a club band called Baby Grand and played some gigs at a Marin club, school dances and even a wedding at a yacht club in Marin. In his career Mike has worked with some real heavyweights including The Nuns, John Cipollina, Steve Vai, Ansley Dunbar, Rick Derringer to name a few. I remember seeing it at The On Broadway and really enjoying it. Sadly we did not chat about the play "Rock Justice" that he co-wrote. I thought an interview with Mike so we could talk about The Nuns, Sharpnel Label Group and his other musical endeavors would be very interesting.
A special thanks to Jon Sugar for being one of the first people to know about her passing. Miro had passed away in New York City on December 14, 2011. After alot of sleuthing I finally discovered that it was true.
He had not heard from Jennifer since August 2011. Sadly, although he had been in contact with her. Jennifer and Mike had played together in the legendary San Francisco band The Nuns together. My interview with Mike Varney came about by contacting him in regards to a rumor that was circulating on the Internet of Jennifer "Miro"'Anderson's death.
