MDL- Demo 2018 M.D.L. Mental Defective League Ground Chuck Audio

I saw Ground Chuck giving away CD’s at the colonial cafe one night, so I asked for one. It happened to be the MDL demo. Thanks Chuck! I also asked if I could post it to the archive and he said something unintelligible back to me, but I think I heard “don’t care” in there somewhere. I worry because the MDL FB site (which has been dormant for months) said something about a new album being done.. so if the band wants it pulled down to sell somewhere, let me know.

Band Members:
Ground chuck: singer
Ben: drums
Mike: guitars
Jeff: bass guitar

Crude Studs- Self Titled Cassette Album/Demo 2017 xfer from master cassette

Big thanks to Dal at Phono Select for giving me this tape to post- he might have more for sale at the shop. You should go shop there- best record store around!
I wanted to get this posted in honor of Bobby Khan. I was not close friends with him, but he was always super cool to me. He was always up for talking about the old Clear & Distinct metal shows. It’s still shocking that he is gone- I never knew he had any health issues. Be nice, you never know what people are dealing with.

Sacramento Punk Exhibit- Sac Library April 2017 Video Tour

I never intended to post this, but it turned out pretty cool and Brian & I don’t talk too much trash about everyone.
Last year, a guy named Nick Parker approached me (and other documentarians of the sac punk scene) to contribute to a display that was in the lobby of the main library on I street. It turned out really great, with old flyers, photos, zines, and media.
And I know it sounds like I am bagging on Charles Albright about the IGD LP… but I had to re-buy one as well (for $70) since I gave mine to Jimmie Couch. So it is all of us dad punx who are paying too much for IGD LPs and driving the market price up. haha.
Brian McKenna was there with me and chimes in occasionally.
And seriously, if you know of anyone who has that Dehumanizers sac video, or a clean copy of slayer backstage at the stone, please contact me.
