RACE!!! at KDVS 2008 Tony Passarell Archive Free Jazz xfer f/archive CD Byron Blackburn? Ross Hammond

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.”

Chikading! – KDVS Studio A, Davis Ca 7/26/12 transfer from band archive tape Tony Passarell Jazz

Every time that Tony Passarell’s name came up for his turn for a post, I was always too busy to digitize the hundreds of cassettes from his collection. I finally get some of his tapes done this week and I go to process them… they are all 4 track recordings. If anyone has a 4 track to donate to the archive, let me know. I have no way to play these back!

So back to his CD’s. This is another Chikading! set, this one is from KDVS Studio A.

Tony’s son Charlie is working to keep the improv jazz scene going in Sacramento- he has a show with some folks tomorrow (July 2) for Two Rivers Jazz Night. If you like this, there is more where this came from.

Barbara Manning and the Go-Luckys- KDVS in Studio DJs, Davis Ca 6/24/00 xfer from pre-fm master tape

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.

The Peeping Toms- Live in KDVS Studio Multicam Video 1990-2000ish

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.

Fang- KDVS Live in Studio A, Davis Ca 4/16/98 xfer f/master audio cassette Punk Money Will Roll

Another KDVS live performance from Ken Doose’s collection. This one must have gone really long as it fades and and then cuts off at 45min right when they say “3 songs left”. It sounds like they just kinda did whatever they wanted.. like perform an uncensored “The Money Will Roll Right in” right off the bat. LOL.

The Donnas- Live in KDVS Studio A, Davis Ca 4/9/98 transfer from master audio cassette pop punk

This one is from Ken Doose’s collection and it’s another awesome one. I had no idea that he taped so many KDVS sessions until I started working through the tapes. There are a ton here.

I don’t see this one online but the Donnas fan groups have the setlist documented so it must have been traded/circulated in some form.

!!! (chk chk chk)- KDVS Studio A, UC Davis, Ca. 1998 xfer from master audio cassette Yah Mos

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.
