On this day 38 years ago, I promoted my first show in Sacramento. I was a huge fan of attitude adjustment and became friends with Andy Andersen, the vocalist in the band. Attitude Adjustment had just broken up, but they started a new band with Rick and Chris from the band along with Keith from Condemned to Death. It was great- they did AA songs, C2D songs, and brand new songs they just wrote.
I asked them to play Sacramento and went to Spanky’s to submit their demo and to get it all arranged. My good friend John Conley drew up the flyer and we were off and running. The venue supplied the opening bands, and I lucked out with Dissident Aggressor being on the bill.
I actually have a soundboard tape that is so bad that pluraleyes won’t ID it to synch the sources together. it is almost all vocals and the vocals distort at times. I attempted to fix it in izotope and it just made it worse. Oh well.
Instead, this is the audience recording that we made. I think Mark Martin taped it for me. It doesn’t sound great, but it is a pretty cool memory for me. Plus there aren’t a ton of Spanky’s tapes out there.
