This is the last video from Laura Martinez’ collection. Sorry glam and hair metal fans, this is it.
The SF X-Men released 2 demos in 1990 and that seems to be it. Not much info online but I found a facebook thread that has the following: Danni, Sean, Woody, Jim, G-man…RIP Jim Lang.

Is it me, or does it seem like all of these glam posts from Laura Martinez’ collection always hit on the weekends? I guess it’s because it’s party time! Wooo. Clearly my exhaustion is getting to me over here.
There doesn’t seem to be much about this Sister Strange band online. There is a swedish band and an all-female band out of Los Angeles by that name, but no bay area band. If you know anything about them, you know what to do

Today’s On This Date was filmed by the same guy who did the Janes Addiction/Marys Danish UCSB show, I think. I think I recall begging him to go to this and video, and then I got it in trade back in 1990. It’s a bit over exposed and it was shot handheld from the back of the venue, so it is a bit shaky as well. Still a cool, rare video w/Morgan. There aren’t many of them out there.

Here’s another fIREHOSE show. I loved videotaping them at Cattle because I could get on the better side of the stage most of the time, since they were a 3 piece and Ed tended to set up close to center stage. I love this “fromohio” era. Watch Grant bounce people in the front row. Filmed with Aiwa CV80 and ECM909 mic

Smokin’ Rhythm Prawns were an alternative funk-metal (think Primus/FNM etc) band from the bay area. They were around a few years and released 1 CD. They opened for fIREHOSE at Cattle so I shot video. The infamous Cattle lighting was good that night! I don’t see any other live footage of them online, even though they had a decent following back then.

Here is one of the rare times that I was able to stand on the other side of the stage to film a Cattle show. This was only possible when the band was a 3 piece and they left enough room over there. I think I filmed there twice with the big PA in place, and both were fIREHOSE.
I love this era of firehose. Don’t tell Brian, but I think 1989 is my favorite Watt year. Even over the minutement. Flame away!

So this was a very memorable night. John Conley, Jason Ellis, Mike Yoas and I piled into a car and headed to Rohnert Park on a very foggy night. It was so foggy, we could not see where we were going! I had just started trading tapes with a lady named Carolyn Adams and we met for the first time. We became fast friends and are friends for life! I also had a huge crush, but I was socially inept. Also, you’ll see that the video loses focus A LOT. My viewfinder was broken, so I did not have an eyepiece on the camera. I filmed this entire show while standing on a chair in the back, with my eye up to the tiny(1″?) tv screen. It’s kinda amazing that it looks this good. Filmed with Aiwa CV80 & Sony ECM909 mic
