After Dark- Demo Late 80s/Early 90s xfer from master audio cassette Sacramento

Sometimes I get tapes that are not in the greatest condition, which is to be expected since a lot of them are 30 years old. But man, this tape was BEAT. Check out the pad on the bottom. I was not able to get the Nak dragon to play the entire thing. I had to fwd it a little to get it to play at all as the spools were seizing, and it stopped at about the 5min mark…. and then I cleaned my heads.
After Dark were a local band with Greg Johnson, Guy Jones (I think), and other guys whose name I forget.
I might try to do this one again with a cheaper tape deck- they usually play through anything.

PS: This one is DEFINITELY After Dark. I totally blew it yesterday and posted a glam-era Pantera demo as Panther. Haha, I am kinda proud to not know Pantera’s glam era. Sorry Jeff Gus Buss. I ended up deleting the post, as the demo was already on youtube. Duh.

After Dark- Club Me, Sacramento Ca 2/26/89 xfer from master soundboard cassette Banger Anal Babies

Let’s keep it local for today’s On This Day in History. After Dark were friends of Redrum back when I managed the band (Redrum, that is). I got to be friends with most of the guys in the band. The Encyclopedia Metallum image has the incorrect lineup. This has Danny(?) on vocals, Greg Decay/Johnson on guitar, Guy Jones of bass, and Damon Brindle on drums. I also videotaped the show- I posted that to the archive years ago. I guess I’ll synch these together if anyone wants it.
