Red Paint People

May 19, 2011 / admin

Red Paint People put out a couple of 7″s and where on some compilations (including Scrabble.) They played brutal, bone-rattling rock and roll much in the vein of the Amp Rep/Touch & Go bands of the same time. In the early 90’s they played a lot of shows in Philly and along with Kitschchao brought a loud hardcore influenced rock back to the scene. The band was made up of Chris Hunter on guitar (Little Gentlemen, If, Goats, Mothra & DTO ), Eric Hammarberg on bass (Double Penetration, Ben Arnold) Stroller on Drums and there singer was Matt.

Scream – Live Videos

May 16, 2011 / admin

One of my favorite bands to see live, it was so good to see them again a few years ago at KungFu Necktie. This post has 3 Scream videos from Philadelphia and 1 from NYC from the mid-80s. I just discovered that I had the video below of them from Rock Hotel in 1984. I also added another video from Love Hall from 83 that was up on Youtube, West Side Club in 86 & Camden in 85. Scream is currently working on a new album called DC Special – “DC Special tells our story through the musical history we grew up with and so we’ve invited musicians from our local DC music community, both past and present, to collaborate with us during the session.” Their Dischord albums are available on Bandcamp

Rock Hotel NYC – February, 23, 1984

West Side Club 4/13/86

This was a great day first Decontrol & Scream at the West Side Club and then Marginal Man at the Kennel Club later that night. Scream did a bunch of songs from their first two albums plus lots of covers. I’m not sure exactly when this show was but I know it was Spring of 1986. I saw Scream a few more times after this but this was my favorite time – it was more like a party then a show. Scream are back together and doing some shows (hopefully they will do a tour) go to their site for more info.

Elk’s Lodge Atlantic City 1985?

Dead Milkmen Live from the Elk’s Lodge in Atlantic City. I don’t have much info on this show but I’m assuming it was in the summer of 1985. Lots of songs from their first albumBig Lizard in My Backyard plus a few from Eat Your Paisley . Around 1/3 into the video they do their big early hit Bitchin’ Camaro with what looks like most of the audience up on stage. The Dead Milkmen have reformed and have a new album out go to The Dead Milkmen Facebook Page to check it out.

Autistic Behavior – Live Kater St. 8/7/82

May 5, 2011 / admin

This video is from an impromptu outdoor show in Philly back in 1982. Autistic Behavior only got through about 5 songs and then the cops busted up the show. Instead of me explaining check out this pdf with two zine articles (Savage Pink & Die Young) talking about it Click Here to see the pdf. They had two tracks on the Get Off My Back comp and recorded an album which was finally released by SRA in 2013.

Articles Of Faith – Live Videos

April 27, 2011 / admin

Live @ Elk’s Lodge Atlantic City

Articles of Faith Live video from the Elk’s Lodge in Atlantic City on July 26, 1985. They headlined the show with Die Kreuzen and Electric Love Muffin opening. Wide range of songs from Up Against the Wall from the Peace Comp through Give Thanks and In This Life. I would guess this is probably there last tour since they broke up in 85. Articles of Faith are one of my favorite Chicago bands. Musically they had a unique sound and the lyrics were always great both the political stuff and they more personal In This Life lyrics. Hard to say because In This Life didn’t actually get released until 86 (two years after it was recorded) but I bet that album was a big influence on DC Revolution Summer bands like Rites Of Spring & Grey Matter. They recently got back together for a show at the Riot festival in Chicago. There is some video of the reunion on Youtube or on the I have A Brain in My Ass Blog. They also released a 7″ of new songs called New Normal Catastrophe which you can get here Plus Alternative Tentacles put out 2 collection cd’s which pretty much includes everything they recorded. There page on the Alternative Tentacles site is here (then select AOF from the dropdown)

Trained Attack Dogs – Live @ Chaos Records

April 22, 2011 / admin

Trained Attack Dogs started in 1986 and released one 7 inch (Pizza EP), one track on the Discpan Hands Comp and a self released live tape (Lotsa Fun). You can listen to all of it by going to www.kenkramar.com The band included Keith Souder (vocals), Ken Kramar (guitar) and John Manhardt (bass) and various drummers plus David Thrower also played guitar with them in 1988 and 1989. The drummer on these videos from Chaos Records was Rich Hoak (later of Brutal Truth and currently TFD.) I’ve been told this was one of his first shows with them. I’m not sure what everyone in the band is doing currently but Keith is djing as DJ K.L.Diablo. They played a bunch of shows in the last few years but I’m not sure if they are still back together as of now. Below the videos there is audio files and a slide show of all the flyers I could find of Trained AttacK Dogs.

Electric Love Muffin – Live @ CEC

April 19, 2011 / admin

The Muffin live from the CEC in West Philly – A rock against hunger show with Constraint (From Leigh Valley) and Government Issue. This is the last video I have of them – As usual they put on a great show. Some time I will try to get the Constraint and GI video from this show up as well. I’m not sure I have anything else to say about Electric love Muffin since this is my third post on them. I did get asked if I had any video or audio of their cover of Highway Star and I think they started doing that after all the videos I have so if anyone has any more video or live audio please let me know.
Again there are a couple of songs I remember but I couldn’t figure out the titles. So, if anyone knows please let me know in the comments. Thanks

Decontrol – Live @ CEC in West Philly

April 8, 2011 / admin

Decontrol was born in 1980, started as a two-man hardcore outfit by Adam Avery. Adam played a combination guitar / bass along with a bass drum over original singer Zero’s caterwalling vocals. It was horrible, but soon became 100% better when Adam fired the other half of Decontrol and recruited the amazing skills of Ritchie Birch on guitar and Keith Lenderman on drums. Adam settled on bass and vocals. (stolen from their website)
These videos are from the CEC in West Philly I’m guessing from 84 or 85. Most of the songs from their album Songs from the Gut are here which by the way you can buy (along with lots of extra tracks) at cdbaby. Another Philly band that should be up there with all the legendary hardcore bands from the rest of the county. It’s amazing how a little thing like starting songs off with A-B-C-D instead of 1-2-3-4 can stand out so much but I’ve never heard another band do it and I will always identify it with Decontrol. The good news is if you missed them they are back together and working on a new album. I have to admit I have not seen them since the 80’s but I plan to make up for that next time they play a show in Philly. I have more Decontrol video I will try to get up at some point one is a show from AC opening for Toxic Reasons and the other is opening for Scream at the West Side Club.
If your on Facebook go to their page and “like” Below the videos are the audio tracks and a slide show of Decontrol flyers. As usual there were a couple of songs I wasn’t sure of the titles but hopefully someone will fill me in on it and I’ll update the post.
