Fishbone- The Stone, San Francisco Ca 6/19/86 xfer from low gen cassette

This was on the “B” side of the tape with the RKL set that I posted yesterday. It’s poor quality, but I found this setlist from the show on the fishbonelive.com website and it sounds like a recording has never surfaced. There was a setlist image on the site that I used for the photo here. Thanks fishbonelive!
Anyway, this recording is just a bunch of distortion. That’s what happens when you mix rock concert volume with consumer recording gear. Oh well, I hope someone will appreciate it.

Attitude Adjustment- Ruthie’s Inn, Berkeley Ca. 6/6/86 Soundboard Audio Hardcore

I tried to post this yesterday since it was 30 years to the day… So this is one of those tapes that got me totally hooked on taping and tape trading. It sounds kinda awful at the beginning, but it is more listenable about midway through. AA only had their demo out and they played a headlining set at Ruthie’s. They ended up playing the longest set I am aware of, for this era of AA. Crazy between song banter with Andy and the crowd. It sounds like the band has a fight around “Streetwise”, 2/3 of the way through. I listened to this tape so much, I broke it and had to ask for another copy from Mark. I think Wayne Vanderkuil might have taped this one. Man, I wish he would loan me his stuff so I could transfer it.

Vomitorium-924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 6/6/87 xfer f/master or low gen soundboard cassette east bay punk

Here’s one from Chris Eng’s audio tape collection- one of the more obscure East Bay Punk/early Gilman bands.

Vomitorium is Vocalist Rumpkin Bignose Scaribreakfast(real name Christof Certik) and guitarist Zanzibar Buck Buck McFate(real name Gideon Zaretsky) who went on to play in the psych-pop band Benjamin Kitestring. The duo also played with/engineered a diverse number of bands such as Mother Hips, Buck-o-Nine, and Vicious Rumours. Demoniaxxe aka John Gossard from Vomitorium went on to black metal bands Weakling and Dispirit, doom bands Asunder and The Gault. On drums Chucky Upchuck aka Jesse Eisland , on bass Chaoticore Evile Notniceica aka Andrew Garcia-Price

I think this might be Chris’ master board tape, but I did not get a chance to confirm. Also, the mix moves around a lot, so that doesn’t make it a good candidate for a rebalance.

The Queers- The Rat Boston Ma 6/4/86 xfer from unknown gen soundboard tape Pop Punk

Here’s a late one from Jason Ross’ collection. I pulled another few tapes to digitize and had no idea that this was a board tape until I ran it. Drums and vocals were pretty maxed out on this one so I did my best to put some guitars in there. The guitar is a bit too loud for the first few minutes and then the mix settles in.

Kinda wild that they have been at it for 40 years.

Oh, and the person in this image doesn’t have anything to do with the Queers. It was one of the only old photos I could find of the club.

Identity Crysis- KDVS Studio A, Davis Ca 6/4/86 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette mystic records

Oh man, what a day. I had digitized a VHS tape and was all ready to post it at about 5pm and realized that show took place on June 5. D’oh! You’ll see that one tomorrow.
So I found an Old 97s show from Harlow’s that I could have sworn I had posted before AND that Jim McLain and I multicam’d, but it’s not on youtube. Sooo I start processing that one and it is going to process for 5 hours, past my bedtime. So here is plan C. Not a bad one.
I got this in trade from Ken Doose way back in the 1980’s when I first started trading tapes. Ken has had some health issues so this one goes out to him, hope you feel better soon!
One day we will do proper transfers from Ken’s master tapes. He taped a bunch of stuff off the radio from studio A.

Savage Republic- UC Davis Coffeehouse 6/86 1st gen cassette master studio tape xfer- “Andelusia”

Welcome to Mediocre Monday! This is the last MM for a couple of weeks, since we have a legit US holiday next Monday.
This one comes from Mike Siou and Sam Habash- thanks guys! It is from the KDVS tape archive. The only thing Mediocre about this one is that it is only 1 song, 6 minutes long. Pretty cool.
