Las Pesadillas- Early Demo, Sacramento Ca. Late 90s/Early 2000’s xfer from band demo

Another Sacramento band demo from a ways back from Anonymous 2’s collection. Man, he has a ton of demos in those boxes.
Las Pesadillas is described as “Punk-gypsy-spaghetti-surf-rock since 1995” according to their bandcamp page. I think I figured out about half of the band members by comparing the first names on this demo vs. the band members on the early releases:
Noah Nelson: Guitar/Vocal
Steve Sullivan: Bass
Jason Cox: Drums
Eddy (?): Guitar
Damian Sol: Violin.
I could not find any of these songs on any of their releases from 2002-now.

Ann Beretta- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca late 90s? xfer from 1st gen Soundboard cassette Lookout Records

This one was kinda funny- the tape was marked “Amber Inn” so I sent it over to Scott Torguson to check out, and he tells me it isn’t them. It’s Ann Beretta. I give it a listen and sure enough, the tape is mislabeled.
Not much info on the tape at all- just “Amber Inn Gilman”, so if anyone has any info around the date, please let me know.

From Robert Eggplant’s collection

Old 97s- Fight Songs Outtakes xfer from 2nd gen cassette 97’s alt.country

Many years ago (20ish?), I got some really cool stuff from a guy- I think his name was Riley. It’s been a long time and lost a lot of my lists and correspondence. Anyway, he was friends with the band so look for some really cool/old stuff coming up.
This one was at the end of one of the tapes he sent. I think some of these versions were released on the 3-LP reissue of Fight Songs a couple years back, but I can’t tell if all of them are exactly the same.
Tracks are: Weightless/The Villain/Murder or a Heart Attack (w/organ)

Recorded by: The band, I assume
