ACCESS TO
STRANGERS
Born and bred, and based in New
York City.
Founded in the late 70s as "The
Workers", guitarist Frank Robbins and drummer/vocalist Frank Sceri
joined with bassist/lead vocalist Michael Kramer as a trio. Joseph
O'Neill joined them as the keyboardist in the early 80s. After his
departure, Uku Meri was recruited on keyboards and vocals in the mid
80s. At that time, the name of the band changed to "Access to
Strangers".
There were countless gigs at many Manhattan clubs like CBGB's, Great
Gildersleeves, Kenny's Castaways, The Bitter End, and others all during
the 80s. There were serious negotiations with major record companies,
back in the days when they were relevant. Unfortunately and ultimately,
it proved fruitless because the record labels could not figure out who
ACCESS TO STRANGERS are, and what to do with the unique character
of the music. It was unlike anything they were familiar with. And,
it probably still is...
So at the end of the decade, real life issues caught up with the
band, and the members went their separate ways.
Decades pass (yes, the 90s and 00s). Everyone has lost contact. All
is lost?
Thanks to the internet, band members start to connect again. And in
August 2010, arrangements were made for a reunion jam. And it was good,
very good. So good, in fact, that the band is back together.
