PLAID RETINA - May 27th, 1988 @ The Place, Davis, CA [AUDIENCE]

This is a rarity for sure, a live set from PLAID RETINA.  Certainly a very under appreciated band from the Fresno, California. They do have an EP and LP on Lookout, as well as an LP on Very Small Records, but still, they are much more talked about bands on those labels sucking up a lot of the attention.  If you ain't familiar, do yourself a favor and look them up.  I have some demos I'll upload eventually, but I assume those are also uploaded by someone already.  This here is a recording made by someone out in the audience, so it's a bit noisy, but considering how uncommon it is to find live Plaid Retina audio, I'll take it.   I don't have a flyer, so I don't know who else played besides Stikky, who occupies side A of this tape, and which you can find posted a couple weeks earlier in the beginning of February.     - DH

STIKKY - May 27th, 1988 @ The Place, Davis, CA [AUDIENCE]

   I'm back to uploading again, so I hope folks still like noisy handheld recordings of old bands live shows and rehearsals as well as obscure demos.

   So kicking things back off is STIKKY, live at The Place, in Davis, CA.  I don't know if there is anything remarkable about this set, it's a typical set recorded by someone who was clearly intelligent and had great taste in music, thanks mysterious genius!  Thankfully, a typical Stikky set is pretty damn fun to listen to, they are a hilarious band and they also have a lot of killer songs.  So yeah, cram this one in your earholes.  - DH

SINS OF THE FLESH - January 8th, 1988 @ The Place, Davis, CA [AUDIENCE]

Here's a not so great recording of a band I'm not so familiar with, SINS OF THE FLESH.  I know they were a fairly short-lived band from Sacramento, though they did manage to release an LP and a 7" in that time.  This was from a tape with two sets from this band, something I digitized a month or two ago and while I remember liking it, I can't remember anything specific that stood out about them. I plan to upload both sets, and figure I'll start with the worse of the two.  If I remember correctly this one had a lot of cuts between songs and is probably missing some based on the 14 minute run time.  This looks to be a tape that came to Chris Dodge via Shayne Stacy, so perhaps he knows more about it, and certainly would have an upgrade to the ones I'll post.  Thankfully he also curates the Sacramento Music Archive, click the link to check it out, and sub to his Youtube channel too!  Anyway, here's today's post, the next set from this band will be much better so keep an eye out if this sounds good to you.   - DH
