Cell Block 5- Malt Soda Bash, The Pound, San Francisco Ca 2/28/04 xfer from band archive VHS

Here’s another one from Barry Ward’s cool collection of VHS tapes. Last month, you got the Crosstops from this show. This time, it’s Cell Block 5. This might be a hint of what is coming next month…
This one goes out to Dave Dalton who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. If you have the ability, please contribute to his gofundme. He is not slowing down, Screaming Bloody Marys are playing here in Sac next weekend! That’s inspirational.
It looks like I accidentally kept the soundcheck in at the beginning. Forward to 3min and 10sec for the start of the show.

Cell Block 5- KALX Live in Studio, Berkeley Ca 7/4/98 xfer from pre-FM master cassette

Last audio post for the week. That was more for me than you because these mid-week holidays have my sense of time ALL screwed up.
It’s been over a month since a KALX archive tape has been posted– now that we are about finished with TM Doug’s stuff, we should be able to get something up from each person at least once a month or sooner.
This one is great- Cellblock 5 ripped through their set so fast that Rick Sylvain had to scramble to fill time, and then he put on a Cindy Lee Berryhill replay to fill up the rest of the hour. The mix on this one was a bit odd- the interview segments were at the appropriate level, but when the band would start playing the levels would drop. I did my best to boost them up, but if you hear levels jump… well, that’s why.
Sorry for all the run-on sentences and bad grammar today.
KALX friends- I can’t seem to find Rick Arroyo(Sylvain) with my new account on fb to friend him. Please share with him if you can. thanks.

Cell Block 5- KALX Live in Studio, Berkeley Ca 10/11/97 xfer from pre-fm master cassette punk

Here’s another KALX live in studio thing from Rick’s collection of cassettes.
Dave Dalton- ? (I assume guitar)
Morgan- Lead Guitars
Tommy- Drums
and they mention Christopher, but no mention of what he does.

This was Dave’s band, after the Screaming Bloody Marys dissolved for the first time. They put out a couple of full length CD’s in the 1998-2000 time frame, and it seems that they had some lineup changes as their discogs listing makes no mention of these members (except for Dave).
