South San Gabriel- SXSW Bigsby’s, Austin Tx 3/20/04 xfer f/ DAT Soundboard Centro-Matic Will Johnson

I spent a ton of time working up this one for today’s On This Day in History. Not because a lot of people will listen, but because I love this band. They also play 5 of my favorite SSG songs ever.
South San Gabriel were a side project of Centro-Matic. My personal favorite release is their 2003 “Welcome Convalescence” CD, which is why this set hits just perfect. My only complaint is that it is too short.
I worked to rebalance the set since vocals and drums were buried and bass was a bit prominent. I like it a lot now.
Everyone should listen to this.

Old 97’s- Stubbs BBQ, Austin Tx 3/14/97 xfer from Hi8 Master Tape sxsw w/Exene Cervenka Old 97s

Today is Mediocre Monday, but no mediocre stuff happening today– I get to see the Old 97s for the first time in over 10 years! I used to follow these guys around California all the time back in the 90s. They are playing a LOT in our area over the next couple weeks. I am hitting 2 of the shows- Chico tonight, Roseville on Wednesday. It should be a good time.

Here is a show recorded by Neil Werries back in 1997. Features Exene Cervenka on 2 songs toward the end. It is a little dark- I probably should have brightened it a bit before denoising. Might be ripe for a re-do.

Supersuckers- SXSW, Austin Tx March 1997 xfer from Hi8 Master enhanced w/Kelley Deal

I don’t know if anyone notices this stuff, but I have been trying to mix it up by posting 1-2 things a week from each recent contributor to the Sac Music Archive. It has been a current mix of stuff from Wayne Vanderkuil(that will continue for YEARS- there’s a lot of stuff!), James Edmonds (almost done with what I have here), and Neil Werries (hi8 master videos)… with the KALX archive coming up as soon as I can figure out the right reel to reel deck(s). Here is another one from Neil- he took his Hi8 camcorder to one of the best years of sxsw in my opinion and I will be eternally grateful for it. This one has The Supersuckers at their peak- includes Kelley Deal on their duet of Hungover Again.
Also, bonus points to Neil for hustling over there, diagonally cross an intersection and avoiding a bus, and getting into his spot to film.. all while the camera is running. All tapers know the festival struggle.
