Here’s the LAWN episode you have all been waiting for! lawn was not comprised of members of other bands, LAWN is an entity. LAWN is: Tod Sod(Ric Ivanisevich)-Lead Guitar; Clovis McDivot(Chris McCann)- Rhythm Guitar, Vocals; Pete Moss (Paul Stanley Niklewicz)- Bass, vocals; The Hedge (Steve Marshall)- Drums.
We all knew Gun (with an umlaut “U”, pronounced “goon”) as Dennis Yudt’s band. He gained errr.. fame? Hatred?…. Let’s call it notoriety as the Cattle Club’s DJ, The Master Bastard. Pete Husing was on Guitar, Dennis on vocals, Tony Cle on drums and Scott Maurer on bass. This is probably the best quality, most complete performance of the band. I taped them doing KZAP- themed covers at Cattle in 1991, and they had a song on Very Small Records’ “Qwertyuiop!” comp. Huge thanks to Lizz Fisher for making these shows happen and for letting me transfer the Umatic masters!

Another late one for you today, and we still have an audio post coming!
I had intended to post this one about a week ago and realized that I prepped it at a super low resolution. This was one of the first things I did after walking in the door from Las Vegas yesterday. Man, these umatic transfers look so nice and there are a lot more to go.

Here is the 2nd of THREE posts today. There will be a 3rd “voter’s choice” post every Sunday from here on out. For everyone in the Patreon voter’s tier, get yer votes in by 3pm. Low turnout this time, which I kinda expected due to the holiday.
This one comes from Lizz Fisher’s collection. These upcoming Lizz Fisher collection posts are HUGE Upgrades from previously posted shows, right off the U-matic TV master tape. this is what they used to play the episode back on cable
Brutal Groove was Debbie Gunn’s band post- Sentinel Beast’s (ver 1 and 2) breakup… but it’s not just Debbie’s band. A young blond Joe Fraulob (Danzig, Deconsttruct, many more) played guitar in the band. Randy Valdez on bass and Joe Pregno on drums. I have a demo here that also needs to be digitized.
