Deleon- The New Breed Demo 1991 transfer from master demo tape progressive power heavy metal SF Bay

it’s another one from Laura Martinez’ cassette collection, this time from Power/Progressive metal dudes Deleon. This is really good, but unfortunately it was released right when grunge what hitting the mainstream. They got lost in the noise. From what I can see, they did this one demo and that was it.

This one seems to be out there on youtube, but this transfer sounds better to my ears

The Zeros- Los Angeles, Ca 1991 transfer from 1st gen VHS tape 1977 Punk

This one is from Jason Ross’ collection and it is a pretty nice quality video of the Zeros shortly after they reunited in the early 1990s. Some of the members are overexposed because of the bright lighting in the club- Hector, is that you on bass? I can’t tell.

If anyone knows the venue or exact date, please let me know.

Loudon Wainright III- KGSR Live in Studio, Austin Tx 1991 xfer f/low gen audio cassette Folk

Last one from this KGSR tape, from Tony Philputt’s collection (via Phil Go). This is the longest session on the taps, so if you are a Loudon fan, you are in for a treat! It still amuses me that The Gynecologists and this is in the same collection. Diverse!

Alejandro Escovedo- KGSR Live Acoustic in studio, Austin Tx 1990s xfer f/low gen audio cassette

This was at the end of Phil Go/Tony Philputt’s KGSR tape. Lucinda (posted 2wks ago), Loudon, and this. The other 2 are from 1991, but I am not sure of the time frame of this- 1991 would have been very early in Alejandro’s solo career.

Epitaph- Living Ghost Demo 1991 xfer f/Master Demo Tape Sacramento Orangevale Alternative Metal Band

This one is from Dal Basi’s collection and it appears to be totally new to the internet. It veers from funk metal to alternative and everything in between. Daniel Davies is still active in bands in the area.

Fun fact- I lived about 1 block away from the address on this demo from 2004-2009.

GWAR- Early video clips w/Barry Ward? Snub TV Late 80s? 1991?

here’s a fun watch even if the quality is not stellar at times. This was in Barry Ward’s VHS collection and it was just labeled “GWAR”. I tried looking up some of the clips from what I could find and I could not find much info about any of them. The SNUB TV clips seems to not be out there. If any GWAR completist can tell me if these are unique or just bad copies of what’s already out there, I would appreciate it.

For those who were not aware, Barry filled in as Balsac, the Jaws of Death on their 1991 tour.

The Reivers- KLBJ Local Licks, Pearl’s Oyster Bar, Austin Tx 1989? 1991? xfer f/master/1G audio tape

Audio collections post from Criag Hilmer’s tapes today. This is an live FM session that was recorded (and not labeled) at the end of the fIREHOSE Liberty Lunch tape I posted a couple weeks back. Since the lib lunch show was from April of 1989, this had to take place after then. Also, this recording is incomplete but it cuts before the tape ends, so I am assuming the following:

  • it took place some time after April of 1989. It could be from 1991, which is when this CD was released (see image)
  • it is a 1st gen that Craig copied from someone after the fact
    Craig, if you have any more info, please let me know.

Chris Applegren- Wild in the Streets Radio Show, KMUD Garberville early 1990s tape 3 w/Livermore

This is the 3rd and final tape of Chris Applegren’s “Wild in the Streets” radio show from Arica Pelino’s collection. Arica mentioned that Green Day makes an appearance on one of these tapes(she has pictures) but I checked them all and could not find it. Unless that voice over the phone is Tre. Hard to tell. Let me know if you find GD on any of the 3.

The rap song was mastered super loud so I had to normalize all of the audio around it so you could hear everything.

Recorded by: Chris or Arica I assume

Red Asphalt (?) w/Eden- Night Flight “Up All Night”, USA Network Early 1990s xfer f/band archive VHS

Alright, before anyone gets on me about this one, I edited the worst of it out. I only kept the musical performance. This one is from Scott Davey’s Archive. The Red Asphalt part is a guess- the tape was labeled “RA2 w/Eden” and it was a 23 minutes of bizarro lingerie campiness.

In the early 90s, night flight TV apparently had a late night lingerie party where they did many episodes of this.

I hope someone from the RA band can confirm that this is them

Chris Applegren- Wild in the Streets Radio Show DJ, KMUD-FM Garberville early 1990s Larry Livermore

The Lookout records hits just keep on coming! This is from Arica Pelino’s collection and it is a fun listen. This is Chrisser DJ’ing the local station up in the woods of Garberville. Anyone who has enjoyed Lawrence Livermore’s Spy Rock Memories book should enjoy this- it plops you right in the middle of that scene.

Speaking of Larry, he comes on for a short bit later in the show. There are 3 of these Chrisser tapes and one of them has some young kids who went on and did something kinda big. Stay tuned. 🙂
