As we prepare for the Jerry Perry benefit show later this month, Marc Malakie has generously loaned us his bag O’ tapes to the archive.
Here it is, in his words:
“Unearthed from the murky Malakaives: Kai Kln, 11/21/91 from the Nightbreak in San Francisco.”
There are not many tickets left for the show- link in comments.
This is not the soundtrack from the video I shot- this is a separate recording of the same show, recorded with a Marantz PMD430 (like a Sony D5) and 2 Nakamichi CM300 mics. Sounds good. ALso for Marc Malakie, wherever he is.
Hi, this one is for Marc Malakie- we ran into each other at Old Ironsides last night and we chatted about the old days. He was the biggest fan of Kai Kln’s early stuff! Please tag the band since I am not fb friends with them. A funny side note about this show- they were opening for Blue Oyster Cult and since it was in the bootlegging glory days of the early 90s, they FREAKED OUT about my camera. I was trying to explain to them that I did not even want to video their band, but they wanted the camera out of there. So, it was a quick 30min and bail after Kai Kln’s set.

Here’s Kai Kln’s first appearance on Sacto Active Rock. Cruise over to Jim Mclain’s youtube channel to see the Christmas Episode filmed a couple of years after this one. Kai Kln are: Scott Anderson/Neil Franklin/Sherman Loper and Gene Smith. I am posting over 30 of these shows- please subscribe to my youtube channel if you want updates! Thanks
Here is the Kai Kln Christmas Episode. Fellow Sacramento filmer and archivist Jim McLain has this up on his excellent channel- go check it out! He is “Jim Mclain” on youtube. Kail Kln are: Scott Anderson- Bass; Sherman Loper- Guitar; Gene Smith- Guitar & Vocals; Neil Franklin- Percussion.
Live at the Cattle Club. Video from the collection of Jerry Perry. Gene had quit the band for the umpteenth time before this gig and this was his return show. Scott built a coffin and Gene was inside with his guitar already plugged in. James Telles pranced on-stage all glam-rocked out as the lead singer of their/his new band, My Little Pony and acts like an idiot. Scott pulls out a fake pistol from his makeshift holster and shoots Telles. Telles falls into the audience while Gene starts playing from inside the coffin. He kicks open the lid as the band rips into the tune – a resurrection of sorts.
