I am not usually a tribute band kind of guy, but these guys were spectacular! It was nice to hear high energy versions of the songs I grew up with. Special bonus- the band has Danny from Knockoffs/Secretions on guitar/vocals and Bear from Sitting & Waiting, Final Summation and more kicking ASS on drums!

Happy Monday again! Mondays are different when you don’t work- they are actually pleasant! We are winding down the 1993 KROQ Xmas posts- this will be the last week of my abusing you with 90s alternative.. for now.
Over the next few weeks (weekdays), I will be posting sets from the 1993 Almost Acoustic Xmas. On the night of Dec 11th, I was driving to grab dinner for the family and I turn on KROQ and I hear that they were broadcasting the entire show live on the radio! I listened to KROQ regularly back then and did not recall any advertising for the broadcast. I hauled ass back home and grabbed a DAT and started recording. I was broke back then, so I have these sets scattered over about 5 DATs. I think I only lost a couple minutes of one set due to tape change- General Public. I even was able to edit in the interviews from other sections of the tape. The Blind Melon interview is a sad foreshadow of their future.
Anyway, hope you enjoy these. I became a fan of at least a few of these bands through this broadcast.
