Fastbacks- Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco Ca 1/30/94 xfer from 2nd gen audio cassette incomplete

For today’s “on this day in history” post, I found a Fastbacks recording that wasn’t out there so it was a no-brainer to choose this one. It looks like I got this one in a trade with Steve Hanson (R.I.P.) who got it from the taper. It’s incomplete, so if anyone has a line on the full show, let me know.
I did my best with this one. It was a bit tinny so I EQ’d it to bring up bass and get rid of the harshness. The vocals were a bit buried so I izotope’d them up a bit as well.
Look at that weekend of shows at BOTH! Thanks to DJ for the newspapers dot com help- the tape was labeled as being at Kennel Club, but it didn’t sound like a Kennel tape. Turns out is was from BOTH.

Jem & Scout- 6th Annual Davis Musicians’ Co-Op, Davis Ca. 1/24/94 xfer from 1st gen VHS

Thanks to Robert Toren for sending me this video to transfer. Great quality! Davis friends- I need some help. The date stamp on the video shows 1/24/94, but the Jen & Scout bandcamp page shows that they formed in 1996. So can you tell me 1. if this is Jem & Scout and 2. If you know when the 6th annual co-op was held. The internets has nothin’. 🙂 Also, venue help would be appreciated. I think it is the Veterans Auditorium, but the tape is not labeled. Thanks!

Jawbreaker- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 1/14/94 xfer from low gen soundboard audiotape East Bay Punk

Here’s a gift to all of us, from Anthony Lew. Thank you!
This mix is so perfect, I didn’t want to mess with it. It is a hard panned mix, which means that some instruments are in the LH channel while others are in the RH channel. It is a bit disorienting with headphones on, but you get used to it.
Anthony even had a nice custom J-card with a photo and setlist from the show.
Some funny banter about them signing to a major label.
Anthony also gave me a split 7″ of his band Sick Burn with bay area thrashers These Bastards called “Burn these sick bastards” (get it?). Available at all finer stores soon!

Lois- KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic, Santa Monica 1/10/94 xfer from DAT FM Master Indie K Records

I had some time off work so I was able to get a bunch of requests digitized, and sometimes the stuff that was also on the tape is even better than the requested show. That’s the case with this one. What a great performance in studio. The band features Amy Farina from Coriky and many others.

Bad Religion- Irvine no date possibly UC Irvine Crawford Hall 1/8/94 xfer f/DV Master tape

This one is from Guerin Myall’s collection and it is a difficult one to ID with a venue and date. The tape is marked “Bad Religion Irvine”. Graffin mentions 2 things that help narrow it down- he tells the crowd that American Jesus isa song they released “a couple years ago” and they mention Neil Young playing somewhere close by on this night- I assume Pacific Coast Amp or Irvine Meadows. This UCI show takes place after Recipe for Hate is released, but no Neil Young listings appear to be in that time frame. There are no newspaper articles of the band playing Irvine after this in the 1990s. Hmm. Adding to the confusion is what appears to be an Against the Grain backdrop. So, I don’t know what the hell it is. Any help is appreciated.

Far- In the Aisle, Yelling Self Released/Demo Tape 1994 xfer from Master Cassette Jonah Matranga

Here’s one from Kaiden Skinner’s collection today. This one is already on youtube, but the one that is up there was mastered extremely low and doesn’t have much low end, so let’s toss up a better version.
Thanks to Kaiden for sending his rare demos over to be digitized.

Jack (Pre- Oleander )- Sacto Active Rock Sacramento Community Cable Episode #36 1994

Jack was Oleander, before they were called Oleander! They consisted of: Doug Eldridge- Bass; Tommy Flowers- Vocals, Guitar; Ric Ivanisevich- Guitar; Henry (Mitch) Mitchell- Drums. Please tag them- I bet they’d love to see it! The audio is messed up at the beginning and there is some color bleed that was out of control of the crew. It’s still quite enjoyable. If you want to see more Sacto Active Rock episodes, or any other rock videos, please subscribe to my youtube channel. Thanks.
