Les Petites Bon-Bons

[3] In addition to Dreva and Lambert, other members included Chuckie Betz, Gary Pietrzak, Mark Slizewski, Dick Varga, and Jim Sullivan.

Although they had no musical abilities and had never played a concert, Jerry and Bobby encouraged the notion among the rock journalists they befriended when they moved to Los Angeles, in June 1973 and January 1974, respectively.

[citation needed] Dreva and Lambert had begun sending art projects to artists and writers they admired in early 1971, generating responses from noted critic Jack Burnham, writer and gay activist Arthur Bell, and eventually generating an invitation to Richard Kostelanetz’s ASSEMBLING series,[7] through which they became aware of the formal network of international artists known as The Eternal Network.

These included Ray Johnson, the Western Front, General Idea and FILE megazine, Clemente Padin in Uruguay and COUM/Throbbing Gristle in the UK.

[4] The work of Les Petites Bon-Bons was featured in the traveling exhibition "Axis Mundo: Queer Networks in Chicano L.A.," which was on view from 2017 to 2022.
