It has been a while since the archive has had this late of a post. I told you I was running late all day!
This one comes from Kaiden Skinner’s collection, and it is the last one I have from him. I think this one might be out there on YT, but not with a Nak Dragon transfer, so let’s put a potentially better version up.

NEW collection from Scott Hamilton. It’s 6 tapes, but it has a bunch of Muffs so it warrants an announcement! Thanks Scott for sending the tapes over.
I knew that UCSB had bands in studio on their radio station, but I had never seen a Muffs tape until Scott sent it. It’s a little distorted at the start but it settles down a few minutes in. The band played so loud that it is nice to hear an early live performance that is decent quality.

It’s time for another Locals Only post- we post an officially released CD from a local band about once a month. The stipulations are: a) it must be out of print and b) it cannot be for sale by the artist. I almost didn’t post this one- the disc is rare and there are no posts on Youtube, but the band has it available on their bandcamp page as a FREE download. I went ahead and posted it because only about 6 people have downloaded from bandcamp, and the release deserves more notice than that. If you like it, head over to Lawsuit’s bandcamp page and download it! Did I mention FREE?

What a day. I had planned to go to one of the TWENTY shows in town, but everything went wrong and I ended up waiting for my daughter to finish her saxophone lesson until 8pm, then eat dinner. I hope you all got out tonight.
Here is one from Rodney Parker’s collection, and this one is kinda special.
When I digitized this tape, I checked on Rodney’s youtube channel for info and saw that this had never been posted by him. It was taped after another Scherzo show and kinda forgotten about. So, world premiere! Woo!

Bonus post for you all today. I promised Wayne and Chris I would post this one this week and then ran out of days, so 3 posts today.
Here’s what I wrote about Metallingus:
Metallingus was Chris Wilder from Stikky and the band Nasal Sex (Rocci Cerone, Joe Cerone, and Andrew Sacco). They wrote the most ridiculous metal parody songs and then they would play them live at the metal clubs. About half got the joke.
Anyway, the deocder ring for the members:
Bob Scepter: Rocci Cerone
Hannibal Lecter: Chris Wilder
Legba: Joe Cerone
Burt Clifton: Andrew Sacco(I think)
I lied and said that the last demo was the only recorded output from the band. Here are 2 more songs!

Here is one of those EIGHTEEN different collections of tapes I have over here, including my own. The owner of these would like to remain anonymous, but since we already have one anonymous person contributing, let’s call this person “Anonymous 2”. Kinda like Thing 1 and Thing 2. This collection has hundreds of demo tapes and a few live sets.
The first demo from the collection is this one by Sense Field. Out of the first 14 tapes I transferred, this is the one that just floored me. Wow, they were really great!
By the way, this tape is FOR SALE. It is the ORIGINAL demo tape, directly from the band. $150 or best offer. Please contact me at shaynestacy@hotmail.com and I will help coordinate the deal.

It’s Monday, and this is the first time I have had a minute to come to the studio and post for you today. This one is from Robert Eggplant’s collection and sounds pretty close to the master tape. I tried to shazam some of the songs to see if they have ever been released, but it doesn’t seem like it. Let me know if I am off base- you usually do lol (and I appreciate it).

Here is yet another one from Mike Parisi’s collection of VHS tapes. This one features an extended intro by Jerry Perry and Eric Bianchi even chimes in after a bit.
Man, this video is DARK. This is after it was brightened and after the increased exposure work. At least it sounds decent.
The band consisted of Guy Jones, Paul Withrow, Kalani Stone and Mike Orr.

I was trying to get a little more organized over here and was unboxing and moving a bunch of Barry Ward’s tapes and came across this one. This is all the info I have on it- I tried to shazam the songs to see if they made it onto any deluxe edition reissues but apparently not. Since it is Dave Brockie’s birthday today, I figured it would be a good time to post this up. Enjoy.

Now for something totally different, here is Meterpool’s demo from 1991. I don’t know much about this band, but it looks like Gary Weisberg was the driving force behind it. It’s dancy, get ready to shake ass.
