Man, I really don’t know much about these guys. They are labeled as an “avant-gard troupe” on some websites. Feel free to chime in with more info about them if you’d like, or let the band members know that this has been posted: Jack Hastings- Bass; James Stewart- Drums; Bob Jolly- Guitar; Gary Sears- Keyboard, Bass; William Fuller- Vocals, Keyboards; Linda Melvin- Vocals; Jane Hastings- Vocals. Enjoy.

LAWN is: Tod Sod(Ric Ivanisevich)-Lead Guitar; Clovis McDivot(Chris McCann)- Rhythm Guitar, Vocals; Pete Moss (Paul Stanley Niklewicz)- Bass, vocals; The Hedge (Steve Marshall)- Drums.
This one is from Todd Nakamine’s collection. The tape had SNL, Comedy Central, Shonen Knife and then 2 bands from Bogart’s. I don’t know who either of them are. They are garagey, but they are so loud that the audio distorts and I can’t tell who they are. I need your help. Maybe someone like claw hammer? No idea.
Recorded by: ? Might be Todd and this is a safety copy

First off, my apologies to folks for the content in this one. This was made back in a time when using the “R” word was somewhat socially acceptable. Couple that with songs like “Sing it, Mrs Ass” and “I am going to kick myself in the balls”, and you have an idea that this isn’t going to be highbrow entertainment.
Second, this is some of the strangest crap I have heard in years. The band has 3 vocalists and a sax player, but I also hear keyboards and a guitar.
It’s probably good this one is getting posted when most people aren’t paying attention.

Here’s a LATE one from Anonymous 2’s collection. Side A of this tape (pictured) seems to be unreleased material. The “B” side (starts at about 17min) seems to be assorted tracks from their Halo album.
Kicking Giant was an indie pop/rock (or ‘love rock’) duo formed in New York City who later relocated to Olympia, WA. This seems to be written and recorded in both Olympia and NYC.
PNW Archives folks- I am tired and going to sleep. there may not be a link to this until the morning. You can always search this (and anything else) on sacramentomusicarchive dot com.
EDIT: First band is called Tattle Tale! Thanks Brett Sandstrom for the info.

Happy DST Monday! I woke up with a migraine and it has continued to get worse. Ugh. Stupid tater tots.

Here’s another one that I have had sitting in my drafts for over a year- this one was one of those blind Russ Gibb ebay auctions that I picked up way back, and it turned out to be stuff he taped off TV. I dug into it a bit more and these seem to be sought after and with Franti’s DHoH, it made sense to post.
