The Shirts are a New York-based American punk band, which was formed in 1975. The band’s early existence (1975 to 1981) was closely linked with CBGB, a music club in the Bowery, but it reformed with many of the early members in 2003 and is currently active.
The Shirts had their roots in Brooklyn, where Robert Racioppo and Artie Lamonica had been playing together on and off as early as 1970. Members of the band were gradually added (including lead singer Annie Golden) in the next three years. The band got its name when Racioppo, having just broken up his existing band, asserted his desire to form a new one, and his indifference to its name: “call it anything ... shirts ... pants ... shoes ... The Shirts!“
The original line-up was singer Annie Golden, Artie Lamonica (guitar, vocals), Ron Ardito (guitar, vocals), John Piccolo (keyboards), Bob Racioppo (bass, vocals) and John Criscione (drums , percussion).
The single ’Tell Me your Plans reached #4 in the Dutch Top 40 on November 11, 1978.
This Toppop recording was first broadcast on September 16, 1978.
The Shirts also recorded ’Reduced To A Whisper’ for Toppop, which was never broadcast.
The follow up single Laugh And Walk Away’ reached #12 in the Dutch Top 40 on December 1, 1979.
Annie Golden now plays the character Norma Romano in the Netflix series ’Orange is The New Black’.
