Tribe Topping WFNX-FM's "Currents" Chart
Boston Phoenix, March 17, 1987
Paul Robicheau, Boston Globe, May 10, 1994
[T]he most free spirited and inviting [set] I've ever heard
[T]he band seemed liberated and truly enjoying the experience. They even played new songs (As Janet LaValley correctly asked, "For what reason?") with all the almost hits and misses of their career. Hopefully someone caught this on tape because it was one for the archives as the crowd responded as rarely a Boston crowd has ever given it up for a local group.

The acts that flourished in the last half of the 1980s and through most of the 1990s draw little visitor interest at this site. We're not sure why. I recall, too, that those years also had far fewer postings than other eras on the bulletin boards of the old Boston Rock and Roll Museum. Our site statistics show quite clearly, though, that Tribe is a major exception to this rule. If you're a Tribe fan, you seem to have a lot of company. Here is a short item about Tribe from the March 29, 2003 issue of the New England Music Scrapbook newsletter:
Our Web page about the Boston rock band Tribe is unusually popular. I believe we've just found one reason why.
"Members Terri Barous, Eric Brosius, and Greg LoPiccolo later joined computer game company Looking Glass Studios as designers and/or sound/music creators. LGS produced classic games like System Shock and Thief. Terri (eventually married Brosius) also voiced the most evil computer game villain ever, Shodan." [Another source says she is also the voice of the character, Viktoria.]
Source:
This, though, is not a complete explanation for the high traffic at our Tribe page. Many visitors find it by searching on the name, Janet LaValley.
I know little about video gaming. All I can add is that an online source describes Shodan as a renegade artificial intelligence in System Shock.
-- Alan Lewis
Do you know whether the final concert by the Boston rock band, Tribe, was recorded? It's of special interest because, strange as it seems to many, the group debuted some new material at that show though members knew full well that they were splitting up. The person who inquired about the last Tribe appearance also was wondering whether any live recordings by the band have made it into circulation.
