One of the original members of
Johnny Thunders' Heartbreakers,
Walter Lure maintained a fairly consistent career in the face of working with some rather tumultuous characters. After the "official" breakup of the Heartbreakers in 1977 -- the band would continue to play the occasional gig right up until
Johnny Thunders' death in 1991 --
Lure worked with
the Ramones on their LPs
Subterranean Jungle and
Too Tough to Die, released a single with the Blessed, and started a number of bands, including the Hurricanes, the Heroes, and
the Waldos, who released their debut,
Rent Party, in 1995.
Lure continued to play New York City venues with
the Waldos well into the 21st century. ~ Christopher M. True
