Old stuff from the box-o-crap

One of the more interesting things about this exercise in band reunion is sifting through the box-o-crap filled with old band stuff that I’ve been moving around with me for the better part of two decades. Tapes, CDs and ticket stubs bring to light just how long it has been.

About 18 years have gone by since we first starting playing together and it’s documented through a lot of the flyers and junk I’ve kept throughout that time. I’ve posted a few of them here. And by the way, the flyers that are created these days make these look like cave drawing. Yikes.

The Melvins show was particularly funny/embarrassing/sad since there were maybe two dozen people who showed up to the show that would have seated at least 1,000 concert goers at the fairgrounds. I’m pretty sure the musicians outnumbered the festival crowd.


The Love Battery and Sweet Water gigs that we were fortunate to be a part of were some of the best. Lots of people turned out for both shows and the sets were pretty great. Getting to knock back a bunch of beers with Love Battery’s Jason Finn (who now plays for the Presidents) while being a total star-struck dork and asking him a million questions was a highlight for me. A very gracious guy by all accounts.

Anyway, we’ll share some more stuff from the box-o-crap as it gets dusted off. If you have photos or stories from back in the day, pass them along.

Cheers, Dan
