In the bottom photo, that’s Carla Bozulich helping Steve out with the vocals, as Robert Hammer (engineer of many of Slug’s early recordings, just below Steve’s head) and Corrin (from Ben is Dead, on the left) watch.

For much of Slug‘s existence, photographer Don Lewis was on hand, going to our shows, dropping in on our recording sessions, and capturing a great visual record of what we were doing.
