Memory lane

Stumbled across this, and I won't say gem,
because it's not. Now this has to be at the
fairgrounds, and The Offspring's second visit.
Because I saw both and the first show was at
a dumpy club, only thirty people showed up.
And we spent the first part of the show (during
the opening band) singing "who wears short shorts"
to some guy with long braids and cut off jeans.
And THEY ARE SHORT WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE POCKETS
HANGING OUT. Well, that guy turned out to be Dexter,
the singer. Don't take it back - the shorts and the
Bo Derek braids needed to go. Still a good show,
and funny to see a hundred times more people
show up at the next show.



This next one featured the whole crew from Salt Lake,
the younger straight edge guys, and Shane the pizza guy.
Awesome for the time, that everyone ended up in the
actual video. And Stormy, a local girl became their
manager and went on to Epitaph, for the time 'THE' label.
And Jeremy Chatelian's brother, John also in the video.
Love those guys.



Since we're on Epitaph, I could go on and on about Bad
Religion, but at that time there was Pennywise. And the
show at DV8 where they (the locals) literally tore the
stage apart, ending Bro Hymn acoustically - as the power
went, and some one ran off with the mic. Awesome. I belive
the bouncers had a rough night, and lost a couple.




As old and overplayed as the so cal/baseball cap/volcom/
I-used-to-skate/moto x/punk scene is - there's still some
good music.
