Neno and Dan and Carrie of Ed's Redeeming Qualities (ERQ)played calypso folk music at a party in Portsmouth NH in the fall of 1986. The address was 9 Hunking Street, a neighborhood in Portsmouth's South End. Also present at the party were members of another band, No Such Animal, which like ERQ included grad students of the UNH Durham writing program and mutual friends of both bands. Though the band had yet to adopt a name, the feel and tone of the music was that of ERQ. Instrumentation included rice in a coffee can, ukulele, violin and three voices. There were other intstruments in the room, played by friends and members of other bands.
