City Four- Brady House, Petaluma CA January 1995 xfer from master VHS tape

I had a different video planned for today, and about 20 minutes before the 35gb file finished uploading to youtube, I deleted it from the RAID. It had already been a huge ordeal to get this one together, so it’s no surprise that yet another obstacle (albeit self-inflicted this time) is in the way of getting it out.
So, let’s pull one from Rodney Parker’s collection. Rodney has filmed a bunch of shows (the excellent bay area punk shows channel has most of them), but he was also in a band. City Four were a band in 1994-1995 and played some local shows, along with a west coast tour. The band was Rodney on drums, Josh Figueroa on Guitar and Ryan Hendrix on Bass, Brian Daigle played second guitar and Steve Robison on Vocals.

City Four- Conjunction Hall xfer from master VHS Tape East Bay Punk

Oh wow, I have been heads-down trying to recover my facebook account and almost forgot to post today. I even drove to beautiful Menlo Park today to META headquarters to try to get help from an actual human to help me get this recovered. Well, I talked to 2 humans who told me that there was no support there, and they handed me a flyer that gave me a bunch of links to try so I can get my account back… which don’t really work… and then they would not let me use the bathroom. I mean, it was RIGHT THERE. I could see the fucking bathroom and the security guard was all “sorry sir, you can’t use that”. I would usually feel bad about pissing in a parking lot, but not this time.

Anyway, here is one from Rodney Parker’s collection. I spent a lot of time fixing up a Green Day video, but that will have to wait until I get my GD DMN*D FB ACCOUNT BACK.

Here is what Rodney says about City Four: “None of us really went on to other bands but 3 of us were in the ska band Blue Beat Stompers at the same time as City Four. That was me on drums, Josh Figueroa on Guitar and Ryan Hendrix on Bass. For City Four Brian Daigle played second guitar and Steve Robison on Vocals.
