FUCKFACE


artist: FUCKFACE (San Francisco, California, USA)
venue: Nightbreak
location: San Francisco, California, USA
date: 18 October 1995
length: 29 minutes

I don't have very many live recordings of this band, even though I probably played more shows with FUCKFACE than with any band since. This was recorded with our third drummer, Righthouse, during the highlight of the no cover/free beer shows that Fast Mike put on at San Francisco's Nightbreak. The bowling alley next door is now Amoeba, and the venue is now a coffee shop....no commentary, just an observation.

The last show on our 2001 US tour with LIFES HALT. The total time includes more than 33 minutes of pre and post show mingling while the room mics were recording - an artifact in itself (especially for those who were there).

location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
date: 20 June 1993
date: 39 minutes

Recorded on the tour that followed the tour that gave us the last live recording from The Twin Cities shared on The Escape, though this time the crowd sounds both less enthused and more belligerent (also, there's a fight). Speedboat Gallery in St. Paul on the 1992 tour can be found HERE.

venue: My Father's Place
location: New York City, New York, USA
date: ?? September 1982
length: 45 minutes

HERE
Regurgitated from a live radio broadcast recorded relatively early in the band's existence (which might explain why they encored with the same song they opened with).

FROM ASHES RISE


artist: FROM ASHES RISE (Nashville, Tennessee, USA)
venue: Mission Records
location: San Francisco, California, USA
date: 24 February 2002
length: 31 minutes

1. Yes, I know FROM ASHES RISE moved to Portland, but they still lived in Nashville in when they were on this tour. 2. I'm pretty sure I told them that my neighborhood was "safe" after this show, and I believe their van's windows were smashed that night. 3. This recording is with Ryan Teetzen on bass...a brief era but a good one. 4. Great band.

V.S.D.


artist: V.S.D. (??, USA)
venue: Dillsburg Fire Hall
location: Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
date: 26 September 1986
length: 27 minutes

The internet tells me that V.S.D. played with DIE KREUZEN and RANCID DECAY at Dillsburgh Fire Hall on the same date in 1987...so it's possible that this recording is from that show and the cassette shell is incorrect. Audience recording, but the band rips. "Could you turn the mic up 'cuz I'm little? This is a fast song. I see a lot of people, but not too many moshin'...this is for all you just standing around: get into it"

ALL YOU CAN EAT


artist: ALL YOU CAN EAT (San Francisco, California, USA)
venue: Croydon Entertainment Centre
location: Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
date: 03 September 1995
length: 24 minutes

Easily one of the most important but underappreciated punk bands from the DIY '90s, it was what they did AND how they did it that made them special. I owe an immeasurable part of my punk existence to these dudes and this band....

It seems that someone from INSTED recorded their demo over this live tape (I thank them for what I got while I curse them for what they dubbed over, though their demo is pretty damn good, so it's cool). I'm guessing this is the Goofy's set from 1983, but the last few tracks are clearly from a different session. Saxophone on "What's Going On?" is worth the price of admission on its own.

As with most of the Mission Records recordings, the final several minutes is simply the sounds of people hanging out after the show. Perhaps this is of particular interest for those who were there, but it's interesting regardless.

*The tape indicates that this set was recorded on 16 November 1982, though the internet indicates that MDC was on tour with DEAD KENNEDYS in England on that date. Whatever the date or location, they were on fire.
