It’s Friday, so it’s video day! Here is another one from Mike Parisi’s VHS collection. This looks like a halloween house party. Camera person does a decent job of videotaping the show.

There is not a lot of info about this band online. They are described as “Bizarre and comedic punk rock band based in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.” on discogs. They had one CDR release- We Dined for Your Sins in 1995. I think I see Dean Miles on drums. That’s all I’ve got. Input welcome.

Starting early with the posts today to ensure everyone gets some time with the music before celebrating new years. I hope everyone’s 2026 is better than 2025.
This is one of the shows that Tony sent to me back in 1989, packed on a 6 hour VHS tape. Tons of shots of the crowd, so if you are from the L.A. scene, look for your friends.

Happy Monday before election day, everyone! I think that many people are suffering from pre-election stress, so here is a cool little distraction. Joel Wing (former Corrupted Morals bassist) posted a photo from this house party the other day, and I knew that Eggplant had recorded this show, as he had given me the tape to digitize. I asked Joel for the photos and he sent 3, so that sped up the process of getting this posted. Thanks Eggplant and Joel for this one! Joel, if you have any pics of Isocracy from this, I wouldn’t refuse those as well.
It’s only 4 minutes. That’s all there is. But it’s uncirculated Op Ivy from 87. I EQ’d this and tried to rebalance but all it did was boost distortion.
Head on over to the Sacramento Music Archive website to see the additional photos!

Here’s 22 minutes of pure chaos from Wayne VanderKuil’s collection. This show is a totally different level of chaos compared to the other Spastik Children shows in early 1986. This is the first without Cliff(Jim Dammit on Bass), it was a house party, and people are clearly having a good time. I heard that potato guns were involved as well. Thanks for getting this one documented, Wayne!
Since I rarely publicize the website, it might be a good time to remind people that there are over 4,000 posts of Audio/Video/Photo media at http://www.sacramentomusicarchive.com, including this and many other Metallica shows right off the master tape.
