From Santa Cruz, but lived in DC for a buncha years before settling in NYC... love DC and got to see shows at the original 9:30 -- Rollins, Meat Puppets, Trouble Funk and Chuck Brown (go go!!!), Lucy Brown (very cool 1-album funk rock band). Also got to see one of those free outdoor Fugazi protest shows outside the Capitol in '92 I think. Pretty cool. Get back to DC for work a decent amount and always love going back (combined a work trip last Dec. with a killer Black Cat show -- Scream and Soulside).
I got to take my son to along for a Mr. Bungle concert this year. He enjoyed seeing the guys do their thing but was a little bummed that they didn't perform any of the songs off of California.
It was his gateway album, so it would've been fun to see him light up when they played some of it. Plus, as much as I enjoyed the little nostalgic detour into singing the Welcome Back, Kotter theme song, I would've been just fine if it had been switched out with Retro Vertigo or Pink Cigarette.
I think you owe Lorena Bobbitt a royalty or something ...( I once made the mistake of telling two good friends, one of whom was male,that Bobbitt was my hero. They both looked at me nervously. I decided not to retract my statement. It was a dark time. )
I loved reading this one. Your travels always take me places I didn't know I wanted to go.
Talk about a clickable headline!
Ha! Lots of unsubscribes too!

You sure have seen some great bands! Chuck Brown! I would have loved to have seen Scream and Soulside at the Black Cat but I caught them in LA.

Thank you, Betsy!
Now that's a headline!
I have not heard the name Nuclear Assault in a long long time.
Love Smash Records. Thanks for sending that pic

That Bungle show must've been amazing
