December 2, 1980: 3TK4 plays their first gig at Tier 3—a benefit for Danceteria employees. David, Brian Butterick, Jesse Hultberg play with Danceteria staffers Jay Sienna (drums), Rico Espinet (congos), Barbara Portman and Alexa Hunter (backup singing). David’s posters for the benefit feature images from his “Portraits of Men” series, including Iolo Carew, his first friend to be diagnosed with AIDS.
