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.

Crude Studs- Starlite Lounge, Sacramento Ca. 1/17/16 R.I.P. Bobby Khan

It was a horrible shock last night to learn that Bobby unexpectedly passed away. Bobby was a fixture in the local Sacramento metal/punk scene. Whenever we saw each other at shows, we would talk about our old metal days. One time, he held a contest on fb for a free slayer biography. The best slayer story got the book. I had an unfair advantage since Matt Polish and I used to hang out with them so I won. I still have the book and I’ll cherish it a bit more now. I’m so sad, he was a really nice guy.
Here is a video from the only time I saw his band, Crude Studs play. I don’t know why it doesn’t sound as good as my usual videos- I think I had my rode mic on the wrong setting.

Crude Studs- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 12/1/12 xfer f/master- DVD Sacramento Punk

I saw some folks wishing our departed friend Bobby Khan a happy birthday recently, so I decided to post a video of the band he was in when they played at Gilman. This is from Pat Wright’s huge collection of Gilman videos. The band played on the floor so don’t expect mush as far as quality.. or lighting. In fact, I was not even sure that this was Crude Studs until I saw Bobby’s trademark 3/4 sleeve blank baseball shirt in the dark on the left, and Nich Lujan’s trademark cap on the right. Haha. R.I.P. Bobby, I miss talking about the old Metal days with you.
