Meatmen – Longmarch Philly 6/16/84

July 27, 2011 /

The Meatmen from Longmarch on June 16th 1984. This was the Meatmen after Tesco Vee relocated to DC with Brian Baker and Lyle Preslar of Minor Threat. The show was shortly before the War of the Superbikes album came out. So there are some songs from that album and others from We’re the Meatmen and You Suck & Dutch Hercules. Meatmen put on a great show with something to offend everyone. I don’t know if there really were people offended by the Meatmen but how can you take a band seriously that has a song called Crippled Children Suck. Just good twisted obnoxious fun. To check out all things Tesco Vee and Meatmen go to TESCOVEE.COM

Black Flag - ELks FLyer

Black Flag – Elk Center 06/04/1982

July 25, 2011 /

Black Flag video from the Elk Center at 16th & Fitzwater. This was from the Damage tour with Henry singing, Dez Cadena had moved to be the 2nd guitarist along with Greg Ginn. Chuck Dukowski was on bass and Emil Johnson on drums. They do a lot of their earlier songs but you can see them moving towards the sabbath influenced dirgy stuff. I’m sad to say I never got to see Black Flag by the time I moved to Philly they never played here. I remember once there was a rumor they were going to play a skate board park in the NorthEast (was there even a skateboard park in the Northeast?) but it wasn’t true. I should have broken down and gone to Shitty Gardens but Black Flag was one of the bands that Randy Now made a deal with so they wouldn’t play Philly. I’m not 100% sure that is true but at the time it kept me from going there to see them.I’m not sure what is going on in the encore song it sounds like they are re-playing the music to Damage 1 but different lyrics.
Thanks to Bret at Noise Addiction. for the video.

SST sent a copyright infringement to Youtube so I had to take the videos down. Sorry
But this has been up for a while so maybe it will stay up.

White Trash – Mne plevat’ na zritelia

July 22, 2011 /

White Trash scurried out of the ashes of a Philly band called Nobody’s Favorite sometime in 1986. We played our first show at Abe’s steaks on 40th. street. It was a small room with better than average sound and a truly great crowd of regulars. We rocketed through a set that was largely comprised of songs that we were getting ready to record for our yet untitled EP.

We recorded JETLAG every other Sunday night over the course of three months. We used a borrowed Fostex x-15 four track recorder and two microphones The two live recordings were back to back shows. We played John’s on July 4th 1987 and the Rodman street block party the next day. The show at John’s was basically a drunken loud mess with Steve and Parris fighting early on in the set. The block party was also a drunken mess, but without any fighting. It was our last show ever.
live recordings
John’s:
We turned everything up till it hurt and got shit-faced before the sound check. I remember Steve and Parris arguing about something and thinking that any minute they would start punching each other.
We had more beers waiting to play and by the time we did play we no longer cared about the audience. We opened with Riled by a Nazi playing it so fast that everyone took a couple steps backwards away from us. We basically sucked that night.
Rodman street:
The day after John’s…a Sunday. We drank Iron City beer waiting to play. It was a long wait because we were the last band to play that day. Clouds rolled in and the sunny day turned into that weird yellow-purple pre storm sky. We opened with Love Ain’t Pretty and gently worked up the crowd until there was spinning and crashing in the pit. The rain held off till after we played. That was our final show–we didn’t know it at the time though. Fortunately, we didn’t suck that day.

John-bass, vocals
Dave-mouth
Steve-drums
Parris-guitar

Void Scream Flyer

Void – Live Videos From 1984

July 14, 2011 /

DC’s Void Live video Feb. 18th & 25th 1984. The video from the 18th is from the CEC in philly. The video from the 25th is from Rock Hotel in NYC. (Thanks Chris for the info and flyer). So, if anyone knows where this is from please let me know. The flyer I put up with it is from an older Love Hall show. The only Void stuff I knew about was the split with Faith. But this is later Void when they were one of the earlier hardcore bands to add metal influences. Allot of people compared later Void to COC (or argued which one was the first hardcore/metal crossover) Personally I don’t care who was first I just care about if it’s any good. Void had an album Potion For Bad Dreams they did for Touch & Go which has never been put out but you can find it here
Thanks again to Pete at Sounds of Tomorrow. for the beta tapes

Government Issue – CEC Philadelphia

July 11, 2011 /

DC’s Government Issue from the CEC in West Philly – A rock against hunger show with Constraint (From Leigh Valley) and Electric Love Muffin. John Stabb mentions that the first song Mad At Myself is from their new album which would be The Fun Never Ends. I re-edited these videos using the GI Live Bootleg Series audio which was 100 times better than the audio from the video. The live audio is available on GI’s live Bootleg series

Nobody’s Favorite

July 8, 2011 /

Nobody’s Favorite from the CEC in West Philly. I’m not sure when this show was since I can’t find a flyer for it but it was with M-80’s (who I also have some video of for later) and Decontrol (that video is already up). Thanks to Dave who was the singer for sending me a couple of emails with all this info and stories below: Nobody’s Favorite had Robbie Birch who was (Richie) decontrol’s guitar player’s brother in the band. Their bass player John (Wolfinger) went on to play and record with Decontrol until his death in 1990. Their drummer was Steve Malone, who was in the marching band in high school resulting in near perfect timing on his part. He would always raz me for mucking it up. At this show the stage monitors burned out early and we relied on the sound bouncing back from the back wall of the CEC. The video also reminded me ( Rob had a big NF on his shirt) of a show at the Crypt where four guys surrounded me on Walnut street because I had a NF logo on my sleeve and thought I was in the National Front. I was like, no no I’m no fascist as I pointed to a flyer on a pole, I’m with the band. They were about to beat the piss out of me, but we all had a good laugh about it in the end. After they broke up some of the band went on to form other bands including: White Trash and Crash Happy. Hopefully I will get some White Trash audio to put up at some point.

The Dicks

The Dicks – Elk’s Lodge, Atlantic City

July 5, 2011 /

The Dicks from the Elk’s Center in Atlantic City. I don’t have a flyer for this one but I’m assuming it was the same summer as the other ones I posted so 1985. The Dicks and the Big Boys were my favorite of the Austin bands of the early 80’s. I never got to see either of them live but did see a lot of later bands (Sister Double Happiness, Bad Mutha Goose, Monkeywrench, Swine King, Scratch Acid) by members of both. They did a good mix of songs from all their releases in this set. Both sides of the Peace/War 7″ and both albums Kill From the Heart and These People. It looks like the only Dicks music available is the Alternative Tentacles comp 1980-86 It has songs from all their releases but I have no idea why they just didn’t put everything on the cd.

WKDU Band Bash 85 FLyer

WKDU Band Bash October 5th 1985 (Homo Picnic, 5 Story Fall, Oblivion, Fabulous Fondas, M-Fakter)

July 1, 2011 /

WKDU free band bash from October 1985. There were a lot of bands at this show – most of the Video is of Homo Picnic and 5 Story Fall but there is also some of Oblivion, M Fakter, and Ambush Bugs. Apparently more bands where going to play (Dead Milkmen plus others) but the company doing the sound and/or Drexel security pulled the plug. At the end of the 2nd Homo Picnic clip there is a short interview with them. I just realized I forgot to try and figure out the song titles (if anyone knows them please add them in a comment) Also if anyone has the 5 Story Fall demo please let me know it would be great to put those up.

Thanks to Val for the video

Constraint (LVHC) – CEC Philadelphia Feb. 23, 1985

June 30, 2011 /

This is Constraint opening a show at the CEC with Electric Love Muffin & Government Issue. I know I saw Constraint either in the Leigh Valley or in Philly but I didn’t have much info on them so here’s a guest commentary by Eric from easysubculture If anyone can fill in the song titles please add a comment.

They were from bethlehem. my best bud dave clewell was the singer. he was later in last cry, mugface, forthright, maddog surrender, etc. (check out maddog. pretty great) [see the FOE website for lots of LVHC bands]. They had the coolest punk logo of the day back then, wings and skull and peace sign that graphically stands the test of time, and was always painted on a sheet behind them. mike and rob the guitar and bassers were 2 pretty tough dudes you did not want to fuck with. ahhh, when punk = tough kids. total bad ass older kid bethlehem kids. I forgot how much i loved CONSTRAINT. they were tough dudes and totally bethlehem. i remember being so bummed i couldn’t roadie for them to this show. one of the buddy’s of the guitar and bass player, who were a few years older than me and dave (singer and mike (drummer) wanted to kick my ass over some punker comments i made and i had to lay low for a few months when they / he was around. but anyway and all that personal teen punk drama aside, they were the best LV band at that point (1984 – 1985). rob (bass) and mike were ovo-lacto vegetarians and peace punks but they were still bad ass and intimidating like punkers used to be. ‘do-gooders with a violent streak’.
