Alice Donut is a punk rock band from New York City formed in 1986. The band released six albums on Alternative Tentacles before splitting up in 1996. They reformed in 2001 and released three more albums and a documentary Freaks in Love. Hopefully Alternative Tentacles re-issues there albums sometime. The occasionally do reunion concerts like the one I went to a few years ago in Brooklyn. They are one of my favorite bands to see live, wish I had recorded some of the shows I saw. But someone did here are two live tapes one from the Khyber and one from City Gardens.
Snub was formed in Philadelphia Pa in the fall of 1991 out of the ashes of the local combos Derelict Hotel, Grisly Fiction and Scab Cadillac. Doug Anson of Derelict Hotel fame played guitar and sang while Roger Bodine formerly of Grisly Fiction contributed bass and vocals and Paul Hazlet of Philly legends Scab Cadillac played the drums. Familiar with each other from the Philly scene and eager to collaborate, Doug and Roger brought in songs that the combo expanded upon, developing a very unique and individual sound. They debuted live at The Khyber Pass on March 18th 1992, opening for The Afghan Wigs. This was followed by several other shows at the Khyber, culminating in their final performance opening for Pavement on July 30th 1992. Doug moved to Arizona in August of that year and eventually formed the Gelcaps. Roger would next join Underraga while Paul would go on to play in Mel’s Rock Pile.

Uncle Tupelo was — Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy and Mike Heidorn — decided to re-form their high-school band after its lead singer left for college. They were based in Belleville, Ill., blending punk rock with country. Becoming one of the early pioneers of what would become alt-country. I swear I saw them at JC Dobbs in I’m guessing 91 but it is not listed on this archive site Factory Belt. Here are two recordings of them playing in Philadelphia later.

I don’t have much info about this band except they relocated to Philly from San Francisco and two of the members were named Angie and Shell. Also that Shelly moved to Philly with Tim Omen who was in Condemned To Death in SF and then Serial Killers here. If anyone had any more info please let me know. This is a tape that George Lind had in his collection of tapes. The cassette itself had no info except the band name. Update it was New Year’s Eve 1987 at Todd Cote’s house in West Philly (Up against GG Allin at the Crypt) -Thanks Chuck There is also a great Star Trek Friendly Angel cover.
The members of the Sugarcubes had formerly been in a variety of Icelandic bands. Björk Guðmundsdóttir had the longest career out of any of the members; she had recorded an album when she was 11. In her late teens, she joined the Icelandic post-punk band Tappi Tíkarrass, who released two albums before splitting in 1983. Drummer Sigtryggur “Siggi” Baldursson was a member of Þeyr, while Einar Örn Benediktsson, Bragi Ólafsson and Friðrik Erlingsson formed a punk band called Purrkur Pillnikk. By 1984, Björk, Einar Örn and Siggi had formed the group Kukl with keyboardist Einar Melax, and released two albums on the independent British record label Crass Records.

A hard band to describe so I’m going to use the one fromtheir own site – Bardo Pond’s music traverses space rock, acid rock, post-rock, shoegaze, noise, Krautrock and psychedelia. They have been around since the early 90’s and have a lot of releases. While writing this I feel like it has been a while since I’ve seen them but hopefully I’ll rectify that sometime soon. I’m just putting up a few live videos and live tapes (there are many many more out there) – Pete Fasolo’s Live video from Astrocade and when they were on his WKDU show Drug Music. Plus two Chicago show from the Aadam Jacobs Audio Archive.
