Anal Mucus- Geekfest 3, 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 1999? xfer f/1st gen soundboard tape Concord Punk

It looks like a 3 post day today, so let’s get started. Over the past couple years, I have posted audiotapes from Robert Eggplant’s collection kind of randomly. Whatever I could pick out of the list that looked good, I went with it. That has become unmanageable so it’s time to do the time-consuming, “A-Z” method of checking every one of these damned things.

Here is one that I digitized a little over 2 years ago. Another short set from Geekfest 3- this time from Anal Mucus.

Rain (A Tribute to the Beatles)- Elk Grove Regional Park, Late 1990s xfer f/Master VHS tape

You get 1 quick one from me this morning and 2 this evening. Ken Doose and Stephen Doty (R.I.P.) filmed this one and I don’t think Ken ever posted this anywhere. Rain are pretty well known now and playing the PACs around the country, but they have been around a LONG time and I remember seeing them play a tiny bar in a casino during a corporate outing in the 90s. They have come a long way.

This is the entire 90+ minute set. Bonus appearance by Ken’s mom (R.I.P.) at the end.

I.G.D.- Bojangles, Sacramento Ca Late 1990s xfer f/ band VHS tape Enhanced Infectious Garage Disease

This one was stuck in my drafts for a couple years. Glad I found it!

I think this is one of the last IGD videos from Mike Parisi’s stuff, if not the last one. Thanks to Mike and the band for documenting so much of this era. There are only 2 videos of the 1980s IGD era- mine from Danceteria and the cable TV appearance. Good to see Jimmie in all of these.
There was no date on this one, but given the bands activity and the years that Bojangles reopened for concerts, this is probably 1998 or 1999.

Dairy Queens / Yogurt- Geekfest 3 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 6/4/99 Xfer f/unknown gen VHS tape F*ckboyzYogurt- Geekfest 3 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 1999? Xfer from unknown gen VHS tape F*ckboyz Hickey

Here’s the collections post for today, from Robert Eggplant’s collection. The Burnt Toast one from this morning was a bonus post to pay tribute so you get 3 posts today.
I didn’t have much time to look online for details about this band, but it looks like Matty Luv (Fuckboyz & Hickey) was in the band.
I am not sure where Eggplant got this one, but it looks a few copies deep on the gen loss scale. It’s an 18+ thing so keep that in mind.

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.

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
