Tattle Tale & Kicking Giant- Tour 93 Promo Cassette xfer f/Promo Tape Indie Rock K Records

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.

Alive (from Off center) PBS TV Show w/ Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy Michael Franti f/Master Beta

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.
Alive from Off Center, renamed Alive TV in 1992, is an American arts anthology television series that aired on PBS between 1985 and 1996.

Each week, the series featured experimental short films by a mixture of up-and-coming and established directors.

Video

RKL- Hard Copy Raw Interview, Live in Torrance, Bogus(Bonus) Interviews xfer f/Band Archive VHS Tape

Today’s video collections post comes from Barry Ward’s pile of VHS tapes. I was thinking of separating these but it was kinda fun just watching the entire thing.

The first part appears to be raw interviews from their appearance on Hard Copy. One of those “how the sausage is made” raw TV videos- it’s a fun watch. I think the live in Torrance is part of Hard Copy’s raw footage as well. The Bogus interviews is the guys screwing around at home. There was more, but there was some X rated magazine being filmed that I had to cut. The audio is distorted on the Bogus Ints source tape.
