At Rest

 

Half Blind/Beef Church - Klub Kommotion, San Francisco 4-30-88

Both of these bands were from the the San Francisco bay area. There;s no info on the internet about these bands but Half Blind did have two songs released on comp. tapes in 1986. I can't find any releases for Beef Church so this live tape might be all there is. Does anyone have any info on either of these bands? Both sets were recorded from the audience and are from the master tape.

Gramma Hash Brown/Wankers - D.A. Ward Studios, Los Angeles 10-25-86

Here's a third show from Gramma Hash playing all his favorites. I posted this Wankers show before about 5 years ago but here it is again. The Wankers were a Los Angeles band that sound like a Post-Punk Velvet Underground. There seems to be no info on them on the internet so don't know if they ever released any records.Both shows are recorded from the audience and are from the master tape.

Gramma Hash Brown/Creeps - Unitarian Church, Anaheim CA 8-30-86

The standout track here is the Gramma Hash Brown song L.A.P.D. Everyone sings along and makes it a fun listen. There are a few bands out there named The Creeps but I don't know anything about this Creeps. The music is guitar/bass/drums/keyboards Garage Punk and all songs are instrumental. It doesn't seem they released any records. Anyone got any info? Audience recordings. Both sets are from the master tape.

Gramma Hash Brown/SP.61 - Stardust Studios, Los Angeles 4-27-86

Gramma Hash Brown was a political Punk Folkie who played around Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. I don't think he ever released any records. SP.61 play minimal experimental soundscapes. some of their members were apparently also member of Postwar who I posted a live show of on this blog before. They don't seem to have released anything and I have no other info on them Both sets were recorded from the audience and are from the master tape.

My Youtube Channel

For anyone that is interested I have a Youtube channel for many years. For the last few posts I have made some very nice Youtube videos for the shows I have posted on my blog. Seems soon as I make a post here someone takes it and makes it into a Youtube video with no link back to my blog or any credit so I thought I might as well make videos if that's what people want. Most of my videos feature a photo of the band or artist along with the song titles as the video plays. Have a look and spread the word. I might feature stuff there that I don't put on the blog.
