Here is the last Willie show for a while- there are many more, but I haven’t pulled anything off of those DATs yet. Thanks to Damon Bramblett for sharing these 25+ years ago! These were recorded by Willie’s soundman, then given to Damon and cloned for me.

Here is a fun one from Craig Babb. I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing his recollection of the show:
“This was on my 30th birthday, a legendary show! At a
bowling alley in Bellingham. I didn’t get much band footage, but the lineup was Poison 13 reunion, The Makers, Satan’s Pilgrims, Galaxy Trio. An Estrus records showcase, and one of my greatest shows ever!”
I think this is only the Galaxy Trio set, it sure looks and sounds like them.

This was a funny one- I went to the venue with Kevin Haynes and tried to get soundboard access. I thought ML was managing the band and would be cool with it (he always was), but we didn’t see him and the venue shut us down before we got started. Haha, oh well. After hearing other board tapes from the Troub and knowing how loud the Poster Children played, the audience tape was probably a better option anyway.

Since I am working on a project for Gilman’s fundraising board for the next couple days, you get BONUS VIDEOS… but nothing new from me.
The first one is from a club I never knew existed- I lived in L.A. at the time. This building is still there and is now Taiko Sushi over on Folsom Blvd, between Hazel and Sunrise.
Expect a Cattle Club bonus video tomorrow!

Another one from Steve Rogers, in a venue that was notoriously unfriendly for video. I only videotaped in there once, and was promptly busted by security in about 5 minutes.

TLDR version: This improves at 10min. Forward to 10min if you are not a hardcore fan.
I finally got the studio a little more organized over the holidays- I had DVDs of audio and video that I needed to do, all mixed together. Also mixed into the mess was stuff I had already done. So, now there are spindles for upcoming audio and upcoming video. Feels better to be organized and it makes it really fast and easy to get stuff posted.
Anyway, here is another show taped by the MIA Kevin Haynes. He taped a lot of indie stuff in L.A. and was one of my good friends when I lived there. Where the heck is he now…

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I tried transferring that IGD video last night and ran into issues, so here is one from correspondent “french onion soup and kitty litter”, with another amazing Steve Rogers video. This time, he is filming on stage at a Danzig show. I am shocked that Danzig didn’t come over and say something like “I am gonna pound that camera like a jackhammer”.
As always, if anyone has a lead on better audio, I am all up for a synch.
One last thing- the best way to keep up with everything posted is to go to http://www.sacramentomusicarchive.com and sign up for email alerts there. That way you youtube subscribers won’t miss stuff like this!

Here’s the last post from Japanese TV- an hour-long special documenting Shonen Knife’s tour of America in 1994. A lot of it is in Japanese, but there are some cool behind the scenes clips of TV appearances and stuff. Good for people who know Japanese and who like the song Tomatohead, because you’re gonna hear it about 100 times.
Saki taped this off of TV and sent me the master.

None of my 4 reel to reel decks seem to be working properly, so I get to take them ALL in to the shop. Do you have any idea how much that is going to cost? I don’t even want to think about it. That means that the KALX reels will be transferred soon- instead I am starting with the cassettes from Rick Sylvain’s collection. Expect a couple every week for the foreseeable future. There are some really awesome tapes in there.
Here is an early AFI set. Fans are gonna love this one.

Here’s another great recording from Kevin Haynes’ unsurfaced collection of recordings. He was a good friend back then- he and Todd Nakamine were my closest friends during my 3 years in Whittier. I hope he is doing well.
I was planning on posting a multicamera video but we found an issue with it so we had to scrap and re-do. I just happened to find this on my hard drive- I digitized it 2 years ago. Lou has some great one-liners in here. Full band in studio.
