Text EntriesThe Lewd was a Punk band formed in Seattle in 1977 by J. Satz Baret (b. unknown), formerly known as Satin Sheets, after leaving Ze Whiz Kidz, a cabaret and comedy troupe led by Tomata Du Plenty (1948 – 2000). The Lewd opened twice for The Ramones in June 1977. In 1979, Baret and Kurdt Vanderhoof (b. 1961), who later became the guitarist for Metal Church, moved the band to San Francisco, where Bob Clic (b. unknown), Tony Garay (b. unknown), Mic Rawls (b. unknown), and Rob Vastano (b. unknown) joined the band. The Lewd was a derivative of a band called The Knobs, formerly known as Sixteen-Year-Old Virgins, which also led to a band called ‘S Nots.
