Beat Happening and two Unrest songs from a show at Maxwell’s – 1991. I’m not sure why I only tapped two Unrest songs my guess is we either got there late or I only had one tape with me. I believe this was the only time I saw Beat Happening – I’m not sure if they ever played Philly (or maybe if they did I just missed them.) Sorry I didn’t have time to

figure out the Unrest song titles – if anyone knows please add a comment. (Plus the one Beat Happening title I couldn’t figure out.

Decontrol live video from the West Side Club. They opened for Scream which is also up on the site. This is the last of the Decontrol video and the last of the 80′s Philly bands video that I got from Pete. One last plug if you haven’t yet go download Songs from the Gut The Complete Collection.
Also, if your on Facebook go to their page and “like” the page
Below the videos are the audio tracks. As usual there were a couple of songs I wasn’t sure of the titles but hopefully I’ll get some help again and I’ll update the post.

Thanks again to Pete at Drugmusic.com. for the beta tapes

I’ve already put the video I had of this show. Actually I thought that this audio was the Fugazi show from the year before from the parking garage but it is the same show as the video. But I guess it’s good I have this since the video wasn’t the entire show.

Mothra easily had the best costumes and 7″ and cd packaging of any Philly bands. Often those kind of things have been used to make up for lets say a lack of talent. But not in the case of Mothra – they had the kitsch of Urge Overkill but musically with more of a 70′s hard rock thing rather than lounge sound. Starting as a three piece with Dan on guitar, Neil on bass & vocals and Rob (Blue Train, Rockula, Beretta 76). Then later adding Chris Hunter (Red Paint People DTO) as a second guitarist.

The tape of this show has no date on it – it just says Sebadoh & Khyber. So, I’m not really sure when it is from. My best guess would be around 1992 – 1994. I’m pretty sure this is the Sebadoh with Lou, Jason and Eric although I could be wrong. My clues are it is not the Kyhber show where the band had a fight on stage and Lou left. Also, the songs are all from up to Bubble and Scrape.

Just put updates to the song titles Thanks for the comments. Sorry you’ll have to rename the mp3 files yourself.
