Frustrators- The Minnow, Alameda Ca 9/22/01 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape w/ Green Day’s Mike Dirnt

It’s Friday- video time! As promised, here is 1 this weekend from Arica Pelino’s magic suitcase. Like I said last week, I wish I could have hung out with Arica and attended her birthday show. What a lineup. Enemies/Frustrators/Dickies.
For those unaware of The Frustrators, they were a band in the early 2000’s with Mike Dirnt (from Green Day), Jason Chandler (Plus Ones), Terry Linehan and Art Tedeschi. They put out an album and 2 EPs on Adeline Records.
There’s not much available in terms of live footage from this band- some interviews and a short/likely incomplete 12min video. This seems to be the only full length show out there.

Enemies- The Minnow, Alameda Ca 9/22/01 xfer from 1st gen VHS tape Enhanced Lookout Records Punk

Early post today.. and I just realized that I did not prep anything from Chris Eng’s collection for today. The plan for each weekend (for now) is 1 Arica video, 1 Chris video, and 1 recent 4K Video from me. Whoops! Sorry Chris. They are on the hard drive, just need to prep them.
Let’s do another Arica video. I really wish I knew Arica back in 2001- not only because she is totally cool, but also because she threw this amazing show for her birthday- The Frustrators (w/Mike Dirnt), The Enemies (with her brother Mike), and one of my all-time faves The Dickies. She sent me a poster from this show a few years back.. I think the Eddie Haskells might have played too, but no video for them.
Anyway, here is the Enemies’ set. I got pretty lucky and was able to film The Enemies’ reunion show, opening for Green Day at Gilman in 2015. Along with Mike, they had some East Bay Punk legends in the band- Dave Ed (Christ on Parade, Neurosis), Jason Willer (many bands, but probably best known for being in Charger and Jello Biafra and the GSOM). This band also seemed to plant the seeds for Alaric, a GREAT dark punk band that was around in the 2010’s– check them out.
Picture is really clean on this one, audio is a bit distorted. Angle partially obstructed.

T.S.O.L.- Capitol Garage, Sacramento Ca 9/19/01 Dat master xfer True Sounds of Liberty Coresound Mic

I pulled this one out of the DAT dresser a few months ago and finally got around to getting it transferred earlier this week. I had forgotten that this was so close to 9/11- it was my first show since then. Everyone went nuts, ripping the door off the hinges and causing general chaos. I stayed off to the side and hid behind a large potted plant. I only got hit by people flying out of the pit a couple of times. I think that’s why there is a short bust of diginoise- I got clobbered.
Great set, but only 47min long. What’s up with that? A 47min headlining set. Thanks to Charles (I think) for bringing them to town.

Equipment: Sony TCD-D7 and Coresound mics with battery box bass rolloff
