Patricia Rowland Howard of Vomit Launch and Empty Gate’s mid-90s band, whom really to me sound a bit like 28th Day, Barbara Manning’s old group, at least in parts.
You can see I was in a huge hurry to share these (sarcasm, if it wasn’t obvious). This is a shame, as life is short, and these shouldn’t be sequestered away on some shelf to decompose.
There are four live videos total of this outfit, of which this is the last one chronologically, the first three filmed at Lava Lounge and the last one (this) at Blue Room, ranging from late 1994 to early 1995. This is the easiest watch of these because it’s the best-lit, relatively speaking, though the audio on all these are all very listenable! Setlist, keeping in mind this is *all* unreleased material.
I do know the guitarist / occasional vocalist is named Sean Gowan, who had previously played in The Vertels but don’t know much else beyond that.
