Here’s yet another demo tape from Greg Dean’s Borman 6 collection. Sorry for the lack of setlist or pictures of the demo. I dug around and I cannot find pictures of these tapes on my hard drive. I think they are on a DVD somewhere. I’ll check soon.

I had a bunch of boxes of CD’s fall down in the studio, so I had to do some repacking and stacking last weekend. My old VHS tapes were right next to my work area and I just happened to find a few things that were sitting up front that I thought people might like. Here’s a House of Freaks vid- man, I loved this band. Their Tantilla album still sounds great to me, 30 years later- you should check it out. They were one of the original 2 man bands. I wonder if this could be one of their first shows- it has all early songs, and Bryan mentions something about this being the first time they played for money…
I checked YT for House of Freaks videos and I was surprised to find that there are hardly any out there. I got a few in trade from this mystery guy named Josh- just Josh, no last name or anything. I can’t even remember how I met him, but he had a bunch of stuff from L.A./Santa Monica that has (and still is) uncirculated.
Video overexposes when panned back, adjusts to look good when zoomed in. Go figure.
It’s really a shame that Bryan passed the way he did- it seems that over time that news/crime has overshadowed his musical accomplishments unfortunately.

Man, these guys are obscure. Not in discogs, not on youtube, and the only thing I could find from a google search is their inclusion on a comp, which is the photo I used for this video.

While I was digitizing the C.O.C. stuff, there was some demos on the other side of that Sports Palace show that were not posted, and were too cool not to post. Here is St. Louis’ Ultraman with their 1987 demo. Now you don’t need to pay $45 on discogs to hear it, if you can find it at all!
Tracklist:
A1 Mr Yuk
A2 The Ones
A3 Eggboy
A4 Rector Breath
A5 Yipes
A6 The Game
Shayne used the Nak Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card, as usual.
