| LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ALL THE WAY FROM NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA, PLEASE WELCOME: |
| This site is currently under construction but will contain everything you ever wanted to know about the legendary Philadelphia punk band Pagan Babies. From their 1st practices in the Fall of 1986 to their last shows in the Winter of 89, the Pagan Babies left their mark on the hardcore/punk community. They still to this day contemplate a return to commemorate the fun and excitement that they and their audience enjoyed during that precious time. |
