High-Back Chairs

Ian Mackaye and Brian Baker weren’t the only real ones to go leaps and bounds beyond Small Danger. From 1989 to 1993, Jeff Nelson drummed for Large Back Chairs, almost the very first and last Dischord power pop music group. Peter Hayes, who fronts the Peter Hayes Condition, got the lead because of this music group. Hayes also performed in Wonderama with Nelson and bassist Charles Steck, a professional photographer who also used the Velvet Monkeys. Guitarist Jim Spellman in fact went on to try out drums with Speed Girl.
