Pyro Goblin Puppet show at Autonomous Mutant Festival, near St. Helens Wa. 2005 xfer from master VHS
OK, this isn’t technically music, but this was performed at a music festival AND James R. Edmonds (supplier of Farm master soundboards) was the mastermind of this… so let’s run with it. Think of it as a bonus post due to the short B’Last post today.
I learned something new- this Autonomous Mutant fest appears to be a guerrilla festival: “AMF is held in a new location each year on public land in Washington, Oregon or Northern California. Directions will be posted just before the festival begins.”.. interesting. This 2005 version was held near Mt. St. Helens, Wa.

Elsah/ Poor Harvey- Baton Rouge? LA xfer from 8mm master Alt Country Americana Mid 2000’s
Collections post time- this is one of the last if not THE last one from Neil Werries’ collection EXCEPT for the multicamera videos that I have been begging people to help me with, haha. Maybe one day.
This is his band Elsah doing a full band set at an unknown venue. The tape just said “Elsah/Poor Harvey LA” and I thought that Poor Harvey might be a venue. No, they were a Baton Rouge based band in the mid 2000’s, right when Elsah was active. If anyone has more info (like Neil maybe), please let me know.

Various Sacramento Artists- A Tribute to Kevin Seconds Out of print/RARE CD 7 Seconds
A week or so back, Jay Knox (Natalie Cortez band) contacted me and asked if I wanted to post some out of print CD’s by local Sacramento artists. That got me thinking… the Sacramento Music archive probably isn’t posting enough Sacramento stuff now. Anonymous 2 and Dal Basi’s collections have a lot of Sacramento stuff, but that equates to 2 posts every 3 weeks or so..
So I decided to add a new feature to the rotation of collections I post from. About every 3 weeks, I will post one of Jay’s (and I have a ton as well) “out of print/unobtainable anywhere else” sacramento-based official releases. It should be fun.
Here is the first. A bunch of Sacramento artists came together many years ago to make a tribute CD to Kevin Seconds. It has Kevin Seconds songs, 7 Seconds songs, and I think I heard a Go National song in there. Jonah Matranga does “Got My List” as well, which he still performs with Allyson Seconds at the annual xmas shows. So cool!
Here’s where you come in- we don’t have a track list. We don’t know who plays what on here. Please comment(with time stamps if you can) if you know who performs these. I’ll update this with the info.
0:00:00 Gabe Nelson – “He’s Drunk Again” (Go National tune)
0:05:29 Luckie Strike – “Stoudamire” (Kevin Seconds tune)
0:08:07 Jonah Matranga & Allyson Seconds – “(Got) My List” (7 Seconds tune)
0:11:17 Magnolia Thunderfinger – “Bully” (7 Seconds tune)
0:13:30 Mark & Becky Harrod – “Bomb Everything” (Go National tune)
0:16:20 Natalie Cortez & The Ultraviolets – “Won’t Be Boring” (Kevin Seconds tune)
0:20:20 Mike Tamony – “June” (Kevin Seconds tune)
0:22:33 Mojo Filter. – “My Gravity” (7 Seconds tune)
0:25:31 Her Six Daughters – “Hey Al” (Kevin Seconds tune)
0:28:44 Beatrice 9 – “Punk Rock Teeth” (7 Seconds tune)
0:32:24 ??? – “Tiny Shelter” (Kevin Seconds tune)
0:36:28 Mike Blanchard – “Sacto Lately” (Kevin Seconds tune)
0:40:53 Cary Rodda – “Get a Different Life” (7 Seconds tune)

0:48:21 Shea Grimm – “Make You Come” (Kevin Seconds & 5’10” tune)
0:51:29 The Pilgrims – “Bully” (7 Seconds tune)
0:52:53 Pony Stable – “Good Morning Hannah” (Kevin Seconds tune)
0:57:38 Audrey St. Violet – “Anti Me” (Kevin Seconds tune)
1:01:47 Grub Dog & The Amazing Sweethearts – “Straight Up Jen” (Go National tune)

Drunk Horse- Sabala’s, Portland Or mid-2000’s xfer from 8mm master tape Oakland Stoner Doom Kozik
I was planning on posting something from Arica Pelino’s collection since it was her birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday Arica! I discovered that I only have Green Day stuff ready to post and we are waiting until the tour ends to do those, so you all have to wait a week.
Instead, here is one from Craig Babb’s collection that I somehow missed posting when I did that project a couple years back. Drunk Horse was formed in 1998 by guitarist/singer Eli Eckert (formerly of local garage-punk outfit the Pants), drummer Chris Johnson (aka Cripe Jergensen), and guitarist John Niles and bassist Cyrus Comisky. They were one of those early stoner/doom metal bands that followed in the steps of Sabbath, Trouble, St Vitus etc. They were on Frank Kozik’s Man’s Ruin records for a bit.
Anyway, here is a 9 minute clip of a show- probably from the mid-2000s. Sorry for missing it, Craig!

Elsah- Magnolia, Baton Rouge La. mid 2000s? w Chuck Prophet? xfer from Hi8 Master tape
After a pretty insane schedule (Work, Kids, Sports, etc) over the past few months, things seem to be settling back down. Well, at least I had some time to organize my desk (it was embarrassing) and I found a bunch of videos I had not posted yet.
This tape is labeled “Elsah Magnolia w/Chuck Prophet”. I don’t recognize Chuck in this video, so maybe Neil Werries means that they opened for Chuck? Don’t know, but this one sounds nice.

Inkwells and Blackbird Raum- Battle of the Bands, SF? 2005ish Folk Punk xfer from master cassette
And, here is the flip side of yesterday’s cassette. I had trouble finding the set change between the bands, so I am including them in one 47min lump.
I recall Blackbird Raum having some fans, so I hope some of you will enjoy this one.

Hobo Gobbelins- Battle of the bands, SF? xfer from master audio cassette folk punk 2005?
More stuff from James R Edmonds- here is his band, the Hobo Gobbelins. He doesn’t remember the exact date or location of the show, and a google search didn’t give many clues either. The closest possibility was a show up here at Camp Pollack, but there was no inkwells on that bill. Hm.

Elsah- Springhill College, Mobile Al unknown date xfer f/ Hi8 Master Enhanced Alt Country Americana
Another late post, but keeping the “one post per day” streak alive for 2023. I had planned to synch this one with a really nice soundboard tape which I think is from the same show, but pluraleyes wasn’t having it. So, here is the raw video. It still sounds pretty good. Video is distant- I tried cropping it and it just looked weird.
