Another Wednesday, another rare as hell Arica Pelino video. This one is an apparent uncirculated Econochrist video from that same show as Lung Butter. Same with a lot of Arica’s video, this one sounds ok- not distorted. Nice closeups. Thanks Arica!

It’s Wednesday, so let’s continue the weekly Arica Pelino video posts. Not much info out there about Lung Butter- they recorded their demo at Gilman and played some shows there. They put out 1 demo which is what the facebook pic image is from. Members were: Sean on Guitar and Vocals, Russ on Bass and vocals, Jason on Drums. Kind of like the TM Doug post yesterday, there appears to be zero videos of this band on YT. Thanks Arica for filming and sharing!

Here’s another post, mourning the Palms’ closure. Actually, I wouldn’t call it mourning. It is more like when you get a call and your great aunt who you were close to but had not seen in 20 years passed away… I absolutely loved the Davis location, but the Winters spot didn’t do it for me. Still, sad to see it go.
Besides the incredible fairport convention soundboard recordings (thanks again Lawrence), this is the best recording I ever made there. In fact, it is probably my best audio recording of The Movie Stars… ever. Their first (only?) time at The Palms, and they played 2 sets that night, so they pulled out songs that they rarely played.

It’s time for another one of these upgraded Sacto Active Rock transfers. These have been posted before, but they were transfers off of a VHS tape. We are now making our way through all of the TV Station Umatic master tapes. Looks and sounds amazing!
This was the first episode of Sacto Active Rock. Features John Taylor on drums, before he joined Deftones I think. INWYT also played some of the first Cattle Club shows.

It’s Monday, time for an audio post. I check the spreadsheet and it looks like something from Dal Basi’s collection is up today- it’s been a month and a half since I last posted something from him. I check through what has been digitized and needs processing, and WHAT A COINCIDENCE. Sonny Mayugba and Abe Cunningham, two of the nice folks who called up Brian McKenna last week about doing a benefit show TONIGHT, was in Phallucy! It would just make sense to put this one up today.
These sound like raw studio sessions that were done over a 3 day recording span back in 1991. Since Phallucy’s CD was recorded at Enharmonik in 1993, I assume that these sessions never saw the light of day. I tried to Shazam about 5 songs and it can’t identify any of them. The section from 20-30 min has super low levels and the quality is not as good, but the rest sounds pretty good!
Check ’em out and head out to the benefit show tonight at Harlow’s- Phallucy is playing along with a million other Sacramento bands(not exaggerating)! Literally a million. Have not seen an outpouring of love like this since Jerry’s benefit.

Here’s another Big Drill Car video. There was a guy who filmed a bunch of stuff around UCLA during this time frame- I got a lot of them from a guy names Josh, but I had not seen this one.

Man, this was a tough day to find something for On This Date in History. I digitized a pristine Willie Nelson BBC session off DAT only to discover that it took place on 6/1. Damned european date formats!
Back in 1991, the posies were incredible. I got to see them in Sacramento 3 months after this and they blew us all away. They were LOUD for the type of music they played. Maybe that’s why this tape had very little guitar- I think the taper “stack taped” the set, so they got mostly what was being run through the soundboard. That resulted in a lot of drums and vocals with this one. I did my best to fix it up in Izotope, but any more guitar boost added harsh high end annoyances.
An 85 minute set (w/killer covers) in 1991 is a real treat.

Rebalance in Izotope Rx8: Guitar +5, bass +1.
I miss the Fastbacks- I even emailed Kurt to see if there was any chance they were going to play anytime soon. I didn’t hear back :-). Oh well, it was worth a try.
This is a decent audience recording of the band. Sounds like a Sony D3 recording to me. Very listenable but not perfect.

Hi, happy friday! Here’s my Mr. Bungle Cattle Club video. It was so packed at the club that night, and with the cold temperatures outside, the place was humid and steamy. The mirrors on the side of the club had water running down them because of the condensation. Filmed with the old Aiwa CV-80 and Sony ECM-909 mic.
