First of all, please don’t expect much with the quality of this recording. This was before we bought the pro walkmen and DAT recorders… but it is one of the only Gravelgut recordings I am aware of. This show is so awesome. 13 minute set! The band that went on right before (or after, can’t remember) taunted the crowd, and you can hear Chris politely thanking Stew Katz for allowing local bands on shows like this. Troy Tausch’s drum sound is huge on this show. I hope you enjoy despite the quality. For Troy, Ken Legee, and all of the rest of the rocklin/roseville gang. Recorded by Mark Martin with a panasonic cassette recorder.

I found out today that an old friend/acquaintance from the “old days” passed away recently. Chris was in our Roseville/Rockin metal/punk scene in the 1980s and he was lead singer/guitarist of the band Gravelgut. I went to school with drummer Troy Tausch and knew the guys well. I As a tribute, I thought I’d post the one of the only recordings that I have of the band. These demos are pretty damned good, listening after 30 years. Nice job Chris, Dustin and Troy. Sorry to friends and family for your loss. I can also upload a pretty poor sounding recording of the Jones Hall show in 1986, opening for Exodus if you’d like.
