To: skeeter; Revolting cat!
Is there anyone associated with this band still alive?

Tommy, the original drummer, and later their producer is still alive:

http://www.unclemonk.com/home.html He's now playing bluegrass infused music (generally gigging in NY and Tennessee).

As are Marky Ramone (formerly of Richard Hell and the Voidoids, don't know why Richard won't get back with the band to do a show with Ivan Julian and Mark Bell), Clem Burke (also of Blondie, played drums as Elvis Ramone), and Richie (another drummer (http://www.richieramone.com/)), and CJ Ramone (Dee Dee's replacement).

Also Danny Fields (formerly of Andy Warhol's Expanding Plastic Inevitable who performed along with The Velvet Underground and later the Ramones' manager).

John Holstrom (who worked at Punk magazine and drew the back cover for Rocket to Russia).

And maybe the guy who wore the pinhead costume at their concerts (his name eludes me at this point).

I didn't bother will listing all of the album cover artists or even producers. The above were the core associates.
