Pleasure Barons- Belly Up Tavern, Solana Beach Ca 3/29/93 f/ 2nd gen VHS RIP Mojo Nixon Dick Montana

I posted my own video last week after getting the new of Mojo’s passing. I found one other one in the VHS tape collection that people might like.
The Pleasure Barons were a “Supergroup” with Country Dick Montana and Joey Harris from the Beat Farmers, Mojo Nixon, Dave Alvin, John Doe, Tim “Steelbone” Cook, Katy Moffat, and Rosie Flores. What a band! Great show! Dave Alvin puts in a killer performance.
This came from a guy named Mark, who I met through the Bernat brothers, who were some of the original San Diego alt/punk tapers. Not the greatest quality- it would be nice to get a transfer off the master tape. Does anyone know who filmed this one?

Lois- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 3/27/93 xfer from KALX Pre-FM Simulcast Master Tape Molly Neuman K Rec

I promised Robert McKeown that I would post something today, but that plan went down the tubes- stupid work getting in the way anyway… so on to the KALX archive!
KALX would broadcast some shows live at Gilman as they happened- they would simulcast the board feed. It was usually a straight board mix, but there were some where Radley set up some audience mics and ran it through a mixer for KALX. This one sounds like a straight board mix.

Spitboy- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 3/19/93 xfer from 1st gen soundboard cassette East Bay Punk

Alright, it has been yet another rough work day, so another late post. I’ll post something very short so you can still check it out today without missing your bedtime.
Btw, speaking of rough work day, I have an idea for a proposal for you all that will allow me to digitize and post these 10,000-plus tapes much faster. Stay tuned.
Here is a snippet of a Spitboy show that was so short, but the mix was so good that I couldn’t not post it. If you have not read Michelle Cruz Gonzalez’ book “the spitboy rule”, it’s worth a read. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
From Robert Eggplant’s collection.

The Sundays- Warfield, San Francisco Ca 3/19/93 xfer from DAT Master Audience Nakamichi CM300

Here is the Sundays headlining set from that Luna warfield show. To be honest, I went to the show to see Luna, but The Sundays sounded great live. I was able to remix this one a bit in Sony Soundforge to take a bit of the bass boominess out and touch up the midrange a little.
Recorded from the front of the balcony.,

Luna- Warfield, San Francisco Ca 3/19/93 xfer from DAT Master Audience Galaxie 500 Nakamichi CM300

I didn’t have much time to play around with remixing this one (5 hours of meetings before noon!)- this is totally flat right off the DAT. The bass is a little boomy, but sounds pretty decent for a recording from the balcony.

Horny Mormons- Sacto Active Rock Community Cable Show Episode #3 3/4/91

Thanks to a kind benefactor, we now have transfers of about 30 “Sacto Active Rock” episodes straight from the VHS masters that were taped off of cable. I will post these as time allows. Here’s the pure insanity of The Horny Mormons. I noticed that Ken Doose has this posted to his YT channel. I was not sure if this was better quality or not, so here you go.

Last American Heroes- Club Lingerie, Hollywood Ca. 3/1/93? xfer from Band’s VHS Master Tape

Here is another gem from Robert Kuhlmann. Man, I wish I knew where “Video Bob” was so we could perform lossless transfers on all of these Club Lingerie multicams that he did in the early 90s. If anyone has any leads, let me know…
Longtime bandmates Bob Kuhlmann and George Schneller moved to Los Angeles from their native St. Louis in 1985. Originally calling themselves the Orchids, they showcased their songs on stages throughout Southern California for nearly a decade while changing their name to the Last American Heroes along the way.

Last American Heroes:

Ed Domer – drums
Jeff Harris – guitar
Bob Kuhlmann – guitar, vocals
George Schneller – bass, vocals
