Electric Circus- Demo 1994 Chico Ca. Jam Band Transfer from Master demo tape cassette
It’s a semi-late one from Anonymous 2. I was bummed to miss Chalk it Up again this year, but my son and I are laid up with this endless stomach virus. It’s been over a week!
This one is from Anonymous 2’s collection. As you may recall, he has been promoting shows in the Sacramento area for a looong time so he would get a ton of local and regional demo tapes along with some national acts. There is an Electric Eircus from Chico who was a jam band and released a couple of albums a few years after this demo. I think it’s them.
Points that make me think it is the Chico band:
- They are a jam band. Genre fit. That was rare in 94.
- Discogs shows them active at the time- from 1991-2004
- Phone number is in the general area/region
Points that make me doubt it is the Chico band:
- Again, that phone number. Wasn’t Chico 530 area code by then?
- None of these song titles are on any of their 2 released albums.
So, let me know. Same band or no?
Chico band members: Brian ‘Gravy’ Asher, Chris Henderson, Derek Zane, Gary Dutra, Mike Waltz.
EDIT: Yes, this is the Chico band. Thanks to Bill and others for the info: “This lineup is probably Gary Dutra, Saul Henson, Chris Henderson, Mark D’Antonio and Mike Waltz (or was Dave Breed still drumming?)”

Silage- Chicken and Milk Demo 1994 Grass Valley Ska Nu Metal Transfer from master demo tape
This one is from Dal Basi’s collection and get a load of this discogs description: “Silage was a christian Ska/Nu Metal band out of Grass Valley, California who exist through the 90s. In 1999 they disbanded.
I have heard of christian music, and ska, and nu (shudder) metal. But I have never heard all 3 in one sentence before. Well done, foothills! I hear some rap in there as well.
Seriously though, their releases fetch a bunch of money. Someone has this demo for sale for $100 on ebay! Don’t worry Dal, it’s not me.

Mick Martin Memorial Series #4: Mick Taylor All-Star Blues Band: Senator Theater, Chico Ca 8/6/01 w/Mick Martin Transfer f/Mick Tape and Blues Plate Special Out of Print CD 1994
It’s Tuesday, which means it is time for the Bi-Weekly Mick Martin post! Let’s keep the same thing going as past Mick posts- one released (but hard to find) thing and one rare thing. This one is the rare thing. Mick played a show with Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers) and someone had the presence of mind to record it. Thanks to Dennis Newhall for sharing this one.

Mick Martin and the Blues Rockers- Blues Plate Special Out of Print CD 1994
The second one for the week is a CD that Mick released on his Blues Rock label back in 1994. Along with the “1 rare, 1 released” cadence, I am trying to include a studio recording each time as well. This one is a well produced studio deal.

Pico de Gallo, Diablo 44, and The Dragons- San Diego Based Punk Bands’ group demo 1990s xfer f/maste
Here’s an odd one. This was mailed to a local promoter back in the 1990s. It is a 3 song demo with 1 song from each band. The only band that I knew was The Dragons w/Mario Escovedo, from the well-known Escovedo family. Diablo 44 released a 7″ that had this same lettering and color sceheme, so it seems that they created this and sent it to promoters to book a package tour.
None of the songs seem to be released elsewhere.

Jack (Pre-Oleander): Sacto Active Rock, Sacramento Community Cable 1994 xfer f/Master Umatic Tape
Happy mothers day, everyone. I hope it is an enjoyable one.
This one is from Lizz Fisher’s collection of Sacto Active Rock Broadcast master tapes. These were posted years ago from VHS copies, but these are far superior in both picture and audio quality. This one had some exposure issues, especially during the interview segment. I will try to re-digitize this one and adjust the overexposed parts in virtualdub.
Jack was 3/5 of the original Oleander lineup, 3 years before they released an album. Jack had Thomas Flowers, Ric Ivanisevich, and Doug Eldridge from Oleander, along with Henry “Mitch” Mitchell on drums.
