Bacliff, TX is a city that grew from an abandoned seaside resort town call Clifton-by-the-Sea in the 1930’s. By the 80’s Bacliff is a smaller, much poorer ransacked town that sits in the shadow of a large power generating station that looked as if three Borg cubes landed on its edge. Power plants which every now and then would make middle of the night explosions and bring out the entire population of Bacliff to the streets to stare at it as if it was some kind of angry God.

There was also the semi annual hurricanes to deal with not the least of which was 83’s Alicia which rocked and flooded Bacliff to its core.

The time was 1983, the music was country and western (both types), the clothing was blue jeans, sleeveless trans-am shirts, neon hair highlights and so many wicker chairs.

The themes of drugs, Regan, Ma Bell, BBQ, Astrodome and state recession were in the air.
