Mikal Waters is an Aussie who found himself living in San Francisco in the 
late 70s as punk was exploding. And, as you do, he got together with some
locals and formed Negative Trend (Mikal was the vocalist), who managed to 
hang around long enough to record one mighty single before imploding and 
sending members off to form Toiling Midgets and Flipper. But Mikal formed 
a new band with Sylvester's (!) drummer and members of the Jim Carroll
band and did his own thing, recording an album that was lost to time 
for over forty years, until the tapes were uncovered.
