Slobberbone- LaSalle’s, Chico Ca. 1/22/03 xfer from master tape!
Happy Friday everyone. I am posting 2 videos today, and neither one is a local band or local venue. I have more coming next week from Cattle Club, Spankys (!) and more. This is one of my 3 favorite alt-country bands. Slobberbone skipped Sacramento and only played the bay area and Chico, so I hoofed it to Chico to see them. The video cuts in on a great cover of “Don’t Cry No Tears”, as I was having some trouble with the DAT machine at the soundboard (meaning, I FORGOT A TAPEW. DUH.). Audio is choppy for the first 45 seconds and then cleans up. I start zooming with the camera about 8min in. Filmed with the JVC DV camcorder and stock mic.

Barbara Manning and the Go Luckys- Merlin, Stuttgart Germany 1/3/03 Soundboard 2 hour set
Today’s on this date is one of those ?-CDR things that became prevalent in the era of CDR trading. It sure sounds like a digital source- no noise at all. The mix is decent as well. Snare is a bit low, but otherwise good enough.
I absolutely love when she does the Butterfly cover. “Butterfly (aka So Much Wine)” by Irish folk singer Christy Moore, originally by The Handsome Family (Brett & Rennie Sparks) and she just slays it, and she opens with it here.

Grandaddy- EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for Sumday 2003 xfer from VHS Master
Out of all of Eddie’s collection, this was the one that I have been looking forward to the most. Grandaddy is one of my all-time favorite bands, and I blew it and was late to the party (2003), and missed them when they were a local band. I only got to see them live twice, in 2012 and 2017. I had tickets to the Gallo Center shows, then Kevin passed. 🙁 R.I.P.
Anyway, this EPK is amazing and hilarious. There is a cliffhanger ending where Jason FINALLY reveals his secret to songwriting… it’s a MUST WATCH.

The Fingers- Dig Spaces CD San Francisco Power Pop 2003 Vineland Records
It’s time for our Local Spotlight! Aaaand it’s not exactly local but we’ll make an exception this week. You have local blues legend Mick Martin going up tomorrow, so it’s all good!
Side note: Man, it is getting pretty hard to find releases for this series. I won’t post if the album is streaming elsewhere, and there seems to more stuff on streaming services than ever before.
This one comes from Emily Cole Brown’s collection of (mostly) local band CD’s. Emily is a Sac Music Archive neighbor and we became fb friends from our local “Buy Nothing” group. It turns out that we both collected local music, so she loaned me her CD collection so we can post these here. Thanks Emily!
Here is what Discogs has to say about the band: “Indie, power-pop band from the San Francisco Bay area circa 1999 to 2002 with Alex Mandel (vocals, guitras, bass, keyboards). Brian Clahan (drums, percussion), Semyon Kobialka (cello) and Chris Daddio (bass, backing vocals, synthesizers).” It’s pretty polished.
