Led by drummer/songwriter Ernie Parada (the band's only constant member), Token Entry was a hardcore/skate-punk band formed in Queens, New York in 1980, when they were known as Gilligan's Revenge. They adopted the name Token Entry in 1984 and released an EP, Ready or Not Here We Come, in 1985 with vocalist Anthony Comunale (later of Killing Time). The EP tracks were re-recorded for the 1987 LP From Beneath the Streets, which featured vocalist Timmy Chunks and guitarist Mickey Neal. The arrival of Bad Brains guitarist Dr. Know in the producer's chair accented Token Entry's funkier backbeat on 1988's Jaybird. 1990's Dr. Know-produced The Weight of the World expanded on those tendencies, recalling the Red Hot Chili Peppers in spots; this LP featured guitarist Richie "Stretch" Acham and bassist Matt Citarella. Parada later formed Black Train Jack and Greyarea.

A couple of my favorite Token Entry show memories...
CBGBs "88" w/ Murphys Law: Somehow an inflatable alligator was brought into the show and every other stage dive took place with the unofficial "mascot"
Sundance "90" w/ Faith No More: The crazy part was this was one of those shows that shouldnt have happened, bizarre mismatched line up and small crowd but such a cool vibe.

G.L. Giles's latest release, "Days and Nights in Summerville" includes some of her new vampire/vampyre tales. Though not technically part of her series, the stories are inspired by their energy: Mainly the energy of "V3: The Vampire Vignettes ReVamped" which a reworked version of her first two books ("The Vampire Vignettes" and "V2:B4"), so it stands alone.
