I'm Nina, Chris Burns' girlfriend. I'm trying to get in touch with Mark & Dave & Perry and anyone else who was a friend to Chris. Sadly, he was taken from us just last weekend in a hit & run accident. If possible, please forward their emails to me or mine to them. Thanks. Hi… I’m Nina, Chris Burns’ girlfriend.

Both you and Chris Burns played a huge part in the Tenants sound with your unique playing styles and talent. Perry our drummer also played a big part.

Thank you for the wonderful review of the single, 'Sub Mind.' Your write up was brought to my attention recently by a few younger, local musicians who know me from my current project. The originality and musicality you found on the 'Sub Mind' recording is due entirely to Mark O'Brien. Mark is one of the most talented musician/composer/performers I've ever known. Should you have the time and opportunity, please forward Mark's email as I would enjoy getting in touch with him. Hi,

Hearing about a 16-year-old nephew discovering his uncle's punk band just warms my heart to no end... It's mind-blowing that The Tenants became Domino Theory, and not the other way around. Domino Theory was great, but so much more primitive sounding... So, no more recordings at all by the Tenants? Well, at least I finally scored my own copy of this record, thanks to MRR's Fred Schrunk. This blog post paid off in spades, huh? Thanks, everyone! Great to hear from you, Mark — a reply straight from the horse’s mouth!

Thanks for the write up. I got the link because my 16 y.o. nephew who's becoming a big punk fan found it and asked if it was me. So, that was the first (and only) Tenants single we recorded. We sort of broke up in 1982 and myself and guitar player Chris Burns formed a band called Domino Theory which had a single on the MaxR&R compilation "Not So Quiet on the Western Front" Hi – My name is Mark O’Brien and I was the lead singer and song writer for the SF based Tenants.

Chris Burns was in the Weeds, and Dave Kockinis now plays with Grace Alley”. hope this helps a bit. all the best, edu hi there,

great to see a post of the tenants. submind is a very great song – it appears on H2D homework #102 CD, by the way.

so, yes, the tenants were from san francisco, “where their members had previously mixed with folks from Negative Trend, the Avengers and –according to rumor– the Residents (singer Mark O’Brien has yet to be cleared of this charge). Chris Burns was in the Weeds, and Dave Kockinis now plays with Grace Alley”.

hope this helps a bit.
