   About Jimi LaLumia


Jimi LaLumia (yes, his last name actually means “the light”) has been an integral part of Long Island culture for the last thirty years. Inspired by the scene at Max’s Kansas City in the late ‘70s, LaLumia found himself at the helm of a punk band named the Psychotic Frogs, which caused a national furor with their debut single, “Death to Disco: Disco Sucks.”

In the years since the Frogs, LaLumia has opened up the Record Connection, a music store in Ronkonkoma that sells CDs and rare vinyl. He's also a club DJ. In addition, Jimi regularly contributes to several local music publications and is currently a Strong Island Records dance artist.

On this site you’ll be able to find information about all phases of Jimi’s involvement with music and media, from his days in the Frogs to his present involvement with dance music. In addition, there is information about the Record Connection and Jimi’s DJ work; you’ll also be able to participate in online record auctions, or contact Jimi directly about his availability as a lector.

Most importantly, have fun!

DISCOGRAPHY

Jimi La Lumia & the Psychotic Frogs, a band who played frequently at Max's released their first single, "Death To Disco (Disco Sucks)" b/w "Wipeout," on tiny indie Death Records in 1978; it sold 10,000 copies, started the anti-disco movement, and became Melody Maker's single of the week in England. The track "Death to Disco" was played on 77AM WABC Radio's Howard Hoffman Show, in a "Top 9 at 9" that included Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In the Wall" and Blondie's "Call Me."

In 1979, Death Records released the four song Typically Tasteless EP, featuring "Mangle Me," "You'll Never Walk Again," the XXX version of "Eleanor Rigby" ("All you fuckin' people"--which wound up on Volume 14 of the Killed By Death series), and a cover of Wayne County's "Fucked By the Devil" (also covered by 45 Grave, who erroneously gave the Frogs writing credit). The track "Mangle Me" received airplay on staple New York rock stations like WPIX, helping to sell several thousand copies of Typically Tasteless.

In 1980, a very rare third single "Palisades Park" b/w "Loser" was released on clear vinyl through Beat Bad Records. This recently sold on eBay for $400.

In 1984, a "live" cassette, Jimi LaLumia & the Psychotic Frogs Greatest Hits: LIVE! at Max's Kansas City was released on the Rather Rude label. In '93, the ESP Disk label reissued this on CD (now very rare) and included the Typically Tasteless EP tracks as a bonus.

In 1990, two tracks from the live album, "Twist and Shout" and "Boys" were released as a gold vinyl picture sleeve single. These two tracks feature Johnny Thunders on guitar, and backup vocals from Donna Destri, Cherry Vanilla and Jayne County.

In 2000, the "Death to Disco" b/w "Wipeout" single and the live tracks with Thunders were included on Something In the Water: The Secret History of Long Island Punk on Under the Volcano fanzine's Winged Disk label. Also included on the limited CD compilation were rare tracks from other historic punk rock acts like Dead Virgins, Horror Planet, Ism, Nihilistics and Sea Monster. Dr. Donna Gaines, author of Teenage Wasteland penned liner notes for this project.


LaLumia is currently doing techno, and charted last year with the underground dance hit "The Anthem (I Need To Take Drugs)" on Strong Island Records. The B side, "For DJs Only," also caused a sensation in clubs. To hear samples in MP3 format, or to purchase your own copy of "The Anthem" on CD or vinyl, please click HERE.
