Sewer Trout Experience- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 1/6/18 Multicamera with Matrix Audio w/ Sarchasm

I usually have a rule about NO COVER/TRIBUTE BANDS, but I’ll make an exception here. First, because the band being covered is Sewer Trout- where else are you going to hear these songs played live again? Second, because this band kicks ass. Alex Botkin shreds on bass. Third, Cole Gates (Vocal/guitar) is the perfect frontman for something like this. Just look at those faces he makes while singing. Awesome.
Sorry about losing focus on the camera I was using- this was the first time I ever used an HFG40 and it took a bit to figure out how to work it.

Well Hung Monks – 924 Gilman, Berkeley, CA 02-11-89

Well Hung Monks – 924 Gilman, Berkeley, CA 02-11-89
Soundboard recording.

I don’t exact date for this show. The only thing I could find that listed the Well Hung Monks playing Gilman at all was an old Gilman calendar I found online. It listed them playing with Mr. T Experience, Crimpshrine, and Sweet Children on February 11, 1989. Though they aren’t listed in the show listing for that date in the 924 Gilman book by Brian Edge nor are they listed elsewhere in the book. Heck, I can’t even find a listing from when they were known as Oyster Toilet Mango. So, it could possibly be from that show or another Gilman show that they played wasn’t listed. All I know is that remember dubbing a copy of the tape from either Jim or Hal MacLean back in the eighties and “Gilman 1989” was written on their original tape. Maybe Hal could solve the mystery.

Correction: Hal confirmed that the date of the show is February 11, 1989. Date has been corrected. Thanks, Hal..

WELL HUNG MONKS:
Erik Benson – Guitar

Sewer Trout- Battle of the Bands, 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 6/14/87 xfer from master VHS tape

It’s hard to believe that it has been 4 weeks since one of Chris Eng’s videos has been posted. Even with this 2-a-day business, it still doesn’t seem to be fast enough. People were asking for this set so here ya go. It’s really cool to see fans singing along with the songs in the front. Sewer Trout had some serious fans. They were somewhat famously brought back into the public view during Billie Joe Armstrong’s RRHOF Speech.
