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.

Poor Harvey- Spanish Moon, Baton Rouge La early to mid-2000s xfer f/ hi8 master

This is the 2nd to last one from Neil Werries collection, unless I can get some help with time alignment on his multi camera sources- great bands like Old 97s, Jayhawks and more! Reach out if you can help- volunteering at the nonprofit gives you a tax donation receipt worth about $40/hr.

Alright, on to this one. Poor Harvey were peers of Neil’s band Elsah. It doesn’t look like they have anything listed on Discogs, but there is a soundcloud site that appears to be them. Poor Harvey is comprised of drummer Dan “Danimal” Thompson and brothers Patrick Johnson (bass and vocals) and Paul Johnson (guitar and vocals).

This show was super dark (as was the Elsah opening set, and then someone turned the lights on. So you will see this switch early in the set- I had to push the brightness and exposure early on, then pull back.

No Use for a Name- Catalyst, Santa Cruz Ca 2003? Xfer f/master DV tape Punk Fat Wreck Chords

Today’s Video collections post comes from Guerin Myall’s collection of awesome masters.

This appears to be filmed at the same time as a Faction show that had “03” written on the tape, so I am assuming it is from 2003. I tried to find any listing from the Catalyst for both bands together and no luck. I’ll ask Guerin if he recalls the date.

This appears to be one angle of a multicam shoot. This is Guerin’s angle.
