Fearection from Sacramento, live on KDVS, 2013.
Collections post from Tony Passarell’s endless collection of tapes and discs. What you see is all I know about this one. It was on a spindle of discs from the mid-2010’s, so this one is likely from the same time frame. No DJ’s speaking so I can’t tell if it is from Studio A or some other show.
I tried to find anything online about this band and I found this one discogs: “Byron Blackburn, Tony Passarell – The Race!!! EP”. So maybe that’s what this is. If anyone has more info, please let me know.
EDIT: Thanks Ross Hammond! “That was live on KDVS around 2008 or so. Gabe Nelson, Tom Monson, Scott Anderson, Tony and I.”
Recorded by: Tony Passarell

Here’s a fun one for today- before the US tour that Barbara did with the Go-Luckys (that I booked!), we were able to get them on KDVS for a guest DJ spot the year before. They talk about their new album, 28th Day, the Press Club show that night (that is on this channel/website- Barbara gets electrocuted!). They go on to play their favorite bands and play songs from a bunch of albums. It’s a really fun listen.
Side note- nerd talk alert- today is a good day. A couple months back, Youtube stopped uploading my audio AVI’s. It would just bonk when it tried to process the .avi. So, instead of me using the EASY virtualdub workflow (2min of processing time), I had to use Vegas Pro which would take up to 2 HOURS and hog up my system’s time to do other stuff. Well, I decided to give virtualdub another try today, and Youtube must have fixed their issue. Thank goodness, that Vegas method was a huge pain in the ass. I’ll be able to get more stuff done now in my hour each day reserved for this.

I thought I had already digitized all of Jordan’s VHS tapes. I thought that this was audio only, and discovered a proshot video! I had no idea KDVS did this- was this public access? Are there any more proshot KDVS videos? So many questions.

Hey, remember when !!! played KDVS’ Studio A? Yeah, me neither but thanks to Ken Doose and his awesome collection of tapes, we can all hear it!
!!! were formed in 1996 in Sacramento, California, by members of The Yah Mos, following the demise of that band. There is no date on the tape, but I think this is from 1998 or 1999 because the band asks the DJ to play something from Fugazi’s End Hits album, which was released in 1998.

Collections post from Ken Doose’s audiotapes- there are a ton of tapes here from Ken and we are just getting started with them. I just digitized a stack of 12 earlier this week.
Here is yet another one that doesn’t seem to be out there at all- not on YT, google searches don’t show it anywhere. Thanks Ken!

Damn, this sounds amazing! Thanks once again to Mike Siou and Sam Habash for this one. Mike was a KDVS DJ and made a cassette copy off of the master reel, and Sam recently digitized it with his Nakamichi. Great document of a much loved semi-local band, by way of L.A.
One quick note- youtube detected a copyrighted song about 19min in and blocked the entire thing from being posted. The algorithm was likely wrong, but I just trimmed it out and posted. So if it sounds like something got cut, it is because it did!
