Here’s the first show ever from Kepi’s band, post- Groovie Ghoulies. It consisted of Lys Mayo, Dino the Girl, Danny Secretion, and Jaz Brown… and Kepi on vocals. IKt features early Kepi songs and some Groovie Ghoulies classics. Filmed with a panasonic AGDVC30 pro DV camera.
This video is a bit dark, but It’s the Movie Stars at Gilman! Gilman did not have a lot of non-punk shows back in the early days, but they had this one and Penelope Houston played in Nov of 1989. Filmed with Aiwa CV80 and Sony ECM909 mic
Hmm, I just checked YouTube and it does not look like there is much Wannabe Texans video up there- just a reunion show from 2010. Here is a set from Gilman in Berkeley. Filmed with Aiwa CV80 camera and Sony ECM909 Mic.
I’m so glad I got to see the Hard Ons early on, before they turned a bit more metal. Filmed with the Aiwa CV-80 with the Sony ECM-909 mic velcro’d to the top.
As Ess Maher and Oliver requested, here is the Penelope Houston show from Gilman in 1989. It is strange, I saw her a bunch back from 1989-1993, but mainly audio taped. This is the only video. Taped with the Aiwa CV80 and Sonyt ECM909 mic.
This one has a story behind it. So, I bought my first video camera in 1988 to videotape Op IV. Word started to spread that they were breaking up and this would be their final show. My friend Jason kept telling me to leave early for the show and I kept saying “nah, we’ll be fine”. We get there about an hour before showtime and the club is already full and there are about 2x more people waiting outside. So Jason and I make our way to the side door and I am whining, holding my camera bag. Someone says “hey grab this amp”.. so me and Jason grab one side of a half stack and walk in. Yup, I snuck in- it was my only time EVER doing that to any show. I kept my camera on my hand to ensure no one could see if I had a stamp or not. The opening band starts and they were incredibly great. The band was Green Day, and I swear that they were the guys who had us carry the amp in. So, thank you. If not for you, this video would not exist. Filmed with an Aiwa CV80 8mm camcorder with Sony ECM-909 mic strapped to the top. This was going to be a multicamera video, but we could not get the other angle & audio source to play together well. Anyway, this is a huge upgrade to my master because of Jim McLain’s brightening and contrast work- thanks a lot. Enjoy.
Well, this one is not a great video. Stage lighting was SUPER dark that day. The one special thing about this video is the guitar player- Bobby was not with them so they had Chris Carnahan ( D-Vision ) I think on guitar. FIlmed with an Aiwa CV80 and Sony ECM909 Mic
Here’s Stikky’s set from Gilman- filmed by Jason Ellis using my camera (Aiwa CV80 and stock microphone). Lighting improves about 10 min in, and they do a spot-on cover of Neurosis’ “black” at the 15min mark.
