Flame- Niles Station, Fremont Ca 3/3/90 transfer from master VHS tape Hard Rock Glam Hair Metal

Alright, this one should get your Monday off to a good start. We are starting to dig into the Flame videos that Laura Martinez shot. This one comes from a club I had not heard of before- Niles Station- and it sounds really nice for a stock camcorder mic. It looks like the building is now a tea shop.

The video time stamp shows 2/28/90, but Laura’s tape is marked 3/3/90. 2/28 was a Wednesday, 3/3 was a Saturday so I am figuring that 3/3 is probably the accurate date.

Flame- The S3xual Kind Demo 1987 xfer f/master audio cassette San Francisco Hard Rock/Glam band

This one is from a NEW audio collection from Laura Martinez. I have never seen so many Sacramento/Bay Area Hard Rock/Glam demos in one place before!

Flame were from San Francisco and they put out a couple of LP’s in the late 80s/early 90s. The self released one is going for $375 on discogs, so they must still have a following. Laura has multiple demos of the band, so more to come!

This is a demo recorded a couple years before they released that self-titled LP.
