Breaking up the streak of DAT audio recordings with a video- here is the St. Louis based Bunnygrunt doing a halloween set many years back. Good band, from the collection of Jim Utz. He also has some nice soundboards of the band that he might be posting soon!

Another NEW Collection! I mentioned that I drove to Columbus Oh to pick up a collection. This one belongs to Ryan Gear. I have known Ryan for about 20 years through the Postcard (Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt) list. We finally got to meet face to face last week and he gave me a lot of DATs and Minidiscs. This is the first DAT collection that I have picked up- thanks Ryan!
Ryan had really nice taping equipment and he hit a very diverse set of shows- the expected alt country/americana, but also a lot of recordings from the local DIY basement punk show house- Legion of Doom. I checked out photos of the place online and it reminds me of Casa de Chaos… a lot.
Anyway, the suitcase full of his and Jim Utz’ tapes is not even unpacked yet so I just stuck my hand in and grabbed 3 random DATs. It was pretty cool to pull a Bay Area band playing in that basement first.

The On This Day in History project has helped me rediscover and enjoy a bunch of stuff in my own collection. This one is a good example- I don’t think I ever realized that this was the CD Release party for my favorite album of theirs. Fun, loose (in a good way) show.
I don’t know who taped this one. I’m willing to bet it was either Lance Davis or Marcus Winfree. So grateful to both of them for capturing so many amazing bands during this era.
Mix gets better about 15-20min in.
