Northwest Dance Halls

Marlene's Galaxy
Puyallup, Washington

Some of the bands that performed at this place during those great years of NW music were:
 
 

Charlie & the Tunas
Cooltones
MerCury Cruisers
Redline
Rock n Roll Magic
The Rockodiles
Sparky & the Starfires
 

Others?

The MerCury Cruisers did a few gigs at the Firwood in Fife.  Because of it we played heck for years trying to get Marlene to book us into Marlene's Galaxy in Puyallup.  All she would say was - 'Yea I know of you guys - you played the Firwood".  Finally she relented and we not only booked in there, but we became a regular band for her.
