The Secret Syde was a moderately popular American punk rock band from the 1980s. Formed in New Jersey, they achieved the most success in The Netherlands, where their music was aired on the BBC. They were also very popular in the southern portion of the United States, namely New Orleans. The band was known for their onstage antics, which included amazing light shows, go-go dancers, and Steve DeVito playing the guitar with his tongue. At the height of their popularity, the band opened for Aerosmith's Joe Perry, the Dead Kennedys, and Black Flag.

Hidden Secrets

Their first album "Hidden Secrets" was widely overlooked upon its release, but has since become a popular collector’s item. The second album, "Erebus" went unreleased, but some tracks gained airtime on the BBC in the Netherlands. They also opened for several national acts and they were an opening act for Joe Perry, as well as Black Flag in 1983. Due to creative differences they disbanded in 1985.

Another incarnation of the band, a five piece consisting of all the original members and Laughing Soup Dish guitarist Wayne Larsen, opened for The Dead Kennedys in 1986. Around that same time Davies fronted Laughing Soup Dish for a few performances, and the band was billed as Jon Davies & The Secret Syde. Wayne Larsen and Jon Davies continued to perform into the 1990s.

Reunion

The band reunited in 2000 to record a new album. It was never released. In 2002 the remaining trio of Steve, Dave, and Rob did a special performance in their hometown of Long Branch.
