NUNS IN RODEO: Sat. June 18. [with] TLS from Jennifer Miro to Mr. [Philip] Elwood by [Punk] Miro, Jennifer (born Jennifer Anderson, 1957-2011) - 1977

San Francisco, 1977. Very good. Two-page promotional kit (8 ½" x 11), photomechanically printed on the recto only, signed by promotions manager Rusty Cramer on the second page; one-page TLS. Folded for mailing, with some light wear and toning, mostly along the margins; otherwise very good. Promotional material for The Nuns' show on June 18, 1977 at the Rio Theater in Rodeo, California, paired with a letter from Jennifer Miro that reads, "Dear Mr. Elwood, Thankyou [sic] for your kind words. By the way, I am the blonde young lady at the keyboards. Very Truly Yours, Jennifer Miro of The Nuns". Philip Elwood was the influential music critic for the San Francisco Examiner. Formed in 1975, The Nuns were one of the founding acts of the early San Francisco punk scene. Jennifer Miro joined the band in 1976 as vocalist and keyboardist and she, vocalist Jeff Olener, and guitarist Alejandro Escovedo formed the group's core. By 1977, The Nuns had created a worldwide buzz and a year later, opened for the Sex Pistols at San Francisco's Winterland. The band split up in 1979, though there have been several later reunions. From the promotional material: "The Nuns are part of the new wave of punk rock phenomenon that is taking the country by storm. Parents have wondered for years what new leap into degeneracy their children would take, and now the answer is here: Punk Rock! Wearing black leathers and spitting out profanities, punk rockers have been thrilling fans and disgusting the sensitive from London to Los Angeles.
