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.
