Die Bossa Nova- Nightbreak, San Francisco 4/1/88 transfer from beta master tape

Here’s the Scott Davey video that I should have posted yesterday. I was in a hurry at the studio and uploaded the wrong thing before I left.
I am excited about this one because I finally got the Sony EDV-9500 (The top-of-the-line Beta “Dream Machine”) up and running. Huge shout out to Mark at FET Electronics for the help in getting it working.
Scott was in Die Bossa Nova and there is a bunch of stuff in his collection from the band. More 1980s new wave.

Die Bossa Nova- Demo 1987 xfer f/band’s tape San Francisco New Wave Ray Vaughn Ed Rawlings Scott Dav

Here is today’s audio post, from Scott Davey/Iguana Studios’ archive. It seems that Die Bossa Nova was well known and highly regarded in San Francisco in the 1980’s, but they don’t seem to have any official releases or any demos up on youtube. Odd.

The jewel case had a label that said “Pre-Davey”, so I assume that Scott played with the band and this demo might have been a way for him to rehearse the songs. That’s pretty cool.
