Here is another special one from Chris Eng’s collection- Vagrants from Dave’s Garage. Vagrants were: Brian Jay, Craig Miller, Dave Henwood, and Nicolai Gancheff. They had a couple of self-released cassettes and 1 7″ release on Lookout. They morphed into Pot Valiant and released a full-length and a couple of singles.. then got the reissue treatment from Numero Group recently.

it’s a rare 2 day in a row lookout records post. Unlike yesterday, all band members stay fully clothed during this one, so no age verification required. Btw, if you want a chuckle, you should check out the comment section on that Blatz post from yesterday on the Lookout Records fb group. I will never look at a mic cable the same way again… or touch one.
People were pretty stoked when I posted a dark and grainy Vagrants video from Dave Mello’s garage a few month back. Well, here is one with better picture and audio for you. I think this is the Vagrants- I compared the 2 videos and the members look the same. As always, don’t be shy if I am wrong. You usually speak up- haha.
