Here is the second and last video from that mystery VHS tape that just said “Knockoffs”, found in Tim Foster’s garage. I have checked with everyone on this one- Tom, Tim, Dal, Ken Doose (big Tom is MIA) and nobody knows where this is from. This one was DARK- the final result is post- brightness/contrast etc enhancement and it was pretty much cranked to 100% on all of it. Looks a bit like survelliance video 🙂 But it is a rare early Knockoffs show and for that I am very thankful. Have a happy new year everyone!

Here’s another really cool one that I found when moving Barry Ward’s tapes- an instrumental rehearsal session from the Riches to Rags era. These sound different than the versions that Barry posted on his channel a few years ago (BK Ward- you should all subscribe)

Here is Eddie’s radio show from KDVS- his Blackfish show’s format was theme-based. This one was a metal theme, but he also did reggae/world, Pink Floyd, etc themes. I bet that would drive a programmer nuts! Haha.

I hope everyone had a happy 4th! We had a great time. Evel sustained no injuries, even though he ate it pretty badly on the landing there. Today we have Pivot with a rough mix of the Oscillator 7″, PLUS an unreleased track that was supposed to be used for a snowboard video project that was never released.

Once a year on Halloween, Lawn swapped lead guitarists, donned homemade costumes and for 24 hours became KISS. Halloween-only shows happened between 1986-1993. This is a compliation of the last 2 years with direct board mix for audio. Perhaps the 1st KISS tribute ever??
Man, these guys are really good. After Smokin’ Rhythm Prawns ended, Andy Liotta got together with Christian Riley and Joaquin Spengeman to for Walrus. It looks like they put out an LP in 1997ish time frame. This demo kicks ass- you should listen to it.

Here’s what Eddie has to say: Today’s soundtrack: Horsey – Fear Is Not Respect demo (1993)
My favorite unsigned band from San Francisco until they ultimately got signed to Invisible for two records.
They toured with Pigface and played with so many of my favorite bands.
My band, God Squad, played with them at Juanita’s in Chico. The band literally burned the building down.
When we had a Caroline Records promotion at Valley Media Distribution (via my favorite sales rep James Cho), I sold the most records at my national accounts by 1000 plus and my sell-through was equally strong. Made sure the right independent record retail stores had at least one copy of Horsey’s ‘Swarm’ while they were on tour. It worked.
If you know who the band is, please share a poster / image / story.

“Horsey was an early to mid-90s experimental noise rock / post-punk band from San Francisco. They released a 7-inch and self-released a cassette in 1993 before signing to Chicago’s Invisible Records, a premier industrial label, in ‘94. Though they weren’t really a full-on industrial band, they exuded the subversive ethos of one, revealing the sordid underbelly of American society, and humanity in general, using deep and heavy basslines and heavy, abrasive drums. Unique and eerie mid-90s industrial stuff from San Francisco.”
Fan Review of ‘Diet Of Worms’ by Horsey. ” I saw Horsey open for Deftones. I had never heard of Horsey before that night and I shall never forget. Best live set from an unknown band I ever saw. Horsey was hardcore. They had magic, and it all gets captured on this CD. They band imploded after 1 more album (info is hard to come by) but the drummer ended up playing with Jello Biafra & The Guantanamo School Of Medicine for a few years it seems (2008 to 2012).”
About a month ago, Jed Brewer was offering up CD’s of his band Thornucopia. I received mine late last week- thank you Jed! It took media mail A MONTH to get it here (from Davis to Orangevale) and they broke the CD jewel case about 4 different ways… but it got here.
Here are the members:
Jed Brewer – Guitar
Nick Frederick – Bass
Johanna Galos (Kyser) – Vocals
Brian Grattidge – Drums
Justin Zimmerman – Guitar
and here is the tracklist:

Many of the Uncle Tupelo archive tapes were unlabeled, or labeled vaguely. UT fans were able to ID many dates for shows that were not labeled at all, but this one remains a mystery. There does not seem to be a radio show called Thirsty Ear or Left of the Dial, but this sounds like an in-studio performance. 2 songs only.
