Jello Biafra- Rodney on the Roq, KROQ Pasadena 1/10/82 xfer f/2nd gen cassette interview and demo

Today’s on this date is also early so you can plan your events later today accordingly.

This one is really cool- long interview with Jello and some LP tracks. I think some DK demos are also played- not sure if they made it onto a later reissue, but here they are from 1982.

One of the few good things about living in Whittier in the early to mid-90s was meeting a lot of people who had been in the music scene for a long time. I traded cassettes with some folks who had things like this. It would just come up in conversation at a concert “hey, I have this tape I got from a friend”. Or I would meet folks like Kevin Haynes, Todd Nakamine and Joe Hunter, who became good friends and are friends to this day.

Nite Owls- Ozone, San Francisco? 1982 xfer f/low gen VHS tape

Here’s another obscure entry from Scott Davey’s collection. Going through Scott’s tapes is quite a project- the vast majority are not even music, so I need to plug in VHS tape after VHS tape to try to figure out what is what.

This one is badly flawed for about the first half of the show- it pulls out of it at the 17 minute mark. I cannot find any information on this band, and google searches of the venue tell me that it was a disco in the San Fernando Valley? That can’t be right. If you know anything about the band or the venue, please let me know.

Black Dolls / Nubs- San Francisco 1/1/82 xfer from master/1st gen VHS tape New Wave Scott Davey

I am going to need your help for today’s Video collections post. The only thing I know about this one is that it took place on 1/1/82. At the end of the set, the MC says the band name but I can’t hear it clearly. Black Dolls? I can’t find any info on a band of that name. Please let me know if you know.

OH, and I included the opening act- a SNAKE CHARMER. You heard that right. Enjoy.
