Today's post is from a punk band I was really into from my hometown of Rochester, NY, called THE END. I know, there are a few bands with the name, so this is the punk band from NY to be clear. I have a California band with the same name posting in the future, they are not the same band!
So as I wrote, I was really into this band. They were new-ish when I was starting my first band, I'd seen them a few times and then my band played our first show together with them. Their bass player wound up leaving not long after that show, I think he may have done a 180 and joined the military. So they needed a bass player. Somehow I, not a bass player at all with no bass gear, volunteered myself. Their guitar player Pat brought a bass over, showed me the set, and I sat up all night on mushrooms practicing the entire time. The next day, and without any sleep at all, I played my first show with them. I played with them for the spring and summer, and eventually left to focus on my own band, and they carried on with someone else. I think they had a few bass players over the years, but the core of the band always remained the same.
So in my brief time with them, I did write a couple songs, and we went and did a 4 track recording with Chris Dalcin in their practice space. We never did anything with it though, it was never released, and there may have only ever been 2 or 3 copies on tape at the time, just for us in the band. I came across it and thought it would be fun to digitize and share, sorry I don't remember the song titles. - DH
