Strapping Field Hands Live 93 & 94

January 31, 2011 / admin

Two live shows from the Strapping Field Hands from 93 and 94. The 93 show was opening for Alastair Galbraith and Peter Jefferies‘ first tour of America. I actually had to tape over part of Strapping because I filled up both 90 minute cassettes and Peter Jefferies was still playing. The second show from 94 they were opening for Guided By Voices – both shows were packed shows at the Khyber (which means you couldn’t physically fit another person through the door.) Strapping Field Hands were probably the biggest band in Philly during those years and always opened for everyone really interesting coming to Philly. They have reformed and you can check out what’s going on with them at
Here’s an interview with Bob from Strapping on the Nice Popper zine site.

A couple of the songs I wasn’t sure of the titles if someone lets me know what the titles are I’ll update the post.

Philly Comps – Scrapple 7″ box set

November 22, 2010 / admin

This post is the second of three Philly compilations posts

A box set of 4 7″‘s put out in 1994 by WKDU. There are 16 bands all from the Philly area with a pretty wide range of styles.
Below the tracks I have put up scans of the cover and the insert that came in the box – each band got a page of the insert.
