Charm Fueled
17 Feb 1995
Lava Lounge
Chico CA

Playing with Larry Crane’s band “Flaming Box Of Ants”.

Filmed by James Johnston. Master VHS transferred to DVD in 2007, and sent to me in 2013.

Patricia Rowland Howard of Vomit Launch and Empty Gate’s mid-90s band, whom really to me sound a bit like 28th Day, Barbara Manning’s old group, at least in parts. There are four live videos total of them, of which this is the third chronologically, the first three filmed at Lava Lounge and the last one at Blue Room, from late 1994 to early 1995.

You can see I was in a huge hurry to share these. Setlist, keeping in mind this is *all* unreleased material. I do know the guitarist / occasional vocalist is Sean Gowan, but don’t know much else than that, or if he’s still playing music.
