Lightweight, Sad Girlz Club, Danger Inc as X- Cafe Colonial, Sac 10/26/19 4k UHD

So the good people (person?) over at Punch and Pie put on one hell of a show at the cafe last Saturday. 1 out of town band and many locals teamed up to play sets of their favorite artists. This one paired Donny from lightweight on Guitar, Jessica (Vocals) and Dave(Drums) from Danger Inc, and Travis from Sad Girlz Club.
So, I need to apologize to Sean and the band- I was so tired, plus this performance was so good that I did not check my camera closely and did not start recording at the start of the set. So, I was filming away with the camera on pause like a dumb shit. I am SO SORRY. The 9 minutes you get is great though.

By the way, there is a reason why I am posting this one today. These guys (and lady) are playing at 924 Gilman TONIGHT. If you are able to make it, you totally should go to that show. This was great fun.

X- Trocadero Transfer, San Francisco Ca 2/7/98 First full band reunion show DAT clone John Doe Exene

Today’s On This Day in History came about because the show happened to be on the same DAT as that Slobberbone set I posted a couple weeks ago. I listened to this and was like “damn, this sounds pretty good” and then my friend Brian McKenna mentioned that it was a big deal- it was the band’s first show with the original lineup in a long time… over 10 years.
I am not sure who taped this one, but it sounds like a schoeps job. Maybe Teddy, maybe KN, or maybe even the long-hiding Kurt Vogel could be responsible. As always, let me know if you know who taped it so you/they can get credit.

X- KALX Interview w Xandy, Berkeley Ca 8/13/93 xfer f/KALX Archive Reel Exene John Doe Punk Band

It’s early but not too early for today’s audio post. I digitized some of KALX’ reels a few months back and most of them sounded terrible- the tapes probably need to be baked. This is one of the only ones that transferred well. Good X interview with a DJ named Xandy.
