The Miamis were legends in New York in the 1970s, playing shows at CBGB, Max’s Kansas City, and The Mudd Club with artists like Blondie, Television, Ramones, Talking Heads, and even KISS. Led by brothers James and Thomas Wynbrandt, a Miamis show was the show to see. And, while the crowds loved them, the record business at the time couldn’t decide whether they were too pop for punk, or too punk for pop. Luckily, the band recorded material—with producers like Craig Leon (Ramones) and Genya Ravan in studios including Plaza Sound and Electric Lady. Plus, their live prowess was captured on tape, as well.
Omnivore Recordings is proud to finally “introduce” this band to the world with We Deliver: The Lost Band Of The CBGB Era (1974-1979). 23 tracks of the best music you’ve never heard.
