SWEATY NIPPLES - "Let's Get Sweaty" 1987 Demo

 It's a Monday, which means time for another demo.  This time I have an upload from SWEATY NIPPLES and their 1987 demo, "Let's Get Sweaty".  This is from an original demo, so it'll sound about as good as it's gonna get short of transferring it on a Nak Dragon, or the band mastering the original and re-releasing it.  Until either of those things happen, just crank this while smoking a giant joint and slamming beers in the morning.  This is the soundtrack for that sort of party for sure.  - DH

AGNOSTIC FRONT - June 9th, 1985 @ CBGB's, New York City, NY [SOUNDBOARD]

 Here's one for all the NYHC heads out there, AGNOSTIC FRONT live at CBGB's, on June 9th, 1985.  This was with Absence Of Malice, Seizure, and Half Life.  This was their first hometown show back after being on tour a month prior, so I imagine the band and audience are all stoked.  Seems like it from the energy of the performance, it's a good one.   Decent enough mix from the soundboard as well, so that's cool.  If you dig AF, have at it!    - DH

RIPCORD - March 14th, 1987 - Rehearsal

 Rehearsal recordings are badass.  Cheers to all those that have made them or shared them, I like hearing them, and I've made them personally, mainly for my own bands that nobody wants to hear and a couple times for some friends bands.  That was before I started digitizing tapes and realized how many of these sorts of recordings existed, I may have tried to make more of my various friends' bands.  Ah well.  At least there are some quite cool ones out there, such as this tape from a RIPCORD rehearsal from 1987.  Likely recorded on a boombox, it sounds as noisy and raw as the general audience recordings floating around out there.   I don't know anything about the source of the tape, I don't know the setlist, I just know I like playing it from time to time.   - DH

RABID LASSIE - "Camel Toe" 1987 Demo

 It's a rainy Monday here in Oakland so it means it's time for another demo.  Today's offering comes from an 80's bay area punk band called RABID LASSIE.  I'm not super familiar with them but I know they were active in the early Gilman St scene.  I also know they would later become the straightedge hardcore band Breakaway but I'm far less familiar with them.  Rabid Lassie seems like a fun band, and I really like this demo.  This was they only thing they released however, besides a song from this also being on the Turn It Around comp.  Though if you dig these guys, and really want more from them, the b-side of this tape says "old demo - specially taped for Chris", Chris being the one and only Chris Dodge who passed his tapes down to me.   So, if you want more Rabid Lassie, keep your eyes peeled for that post sometime in the future.  Also, this tape is longer than the other upload and what's listed on discogs by 4 songs, so it's already giving you more Rabid Lassie.  How cool is that?   - DH

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

24-7 SPYZ - June 16th, 1989 Chicago, IL [AUDIENCE]

 I don't know much about 24-7 SPYZ admittedly, I'd never checked them out prior to coming across this tape in a lot I bought off ebay.  It wasn't high up on my list of tapes to transfer either, but for some reason I threw it in the deck and went for it.  I was surprised at how much I dug this.  I'm not one for funk metal or punk generally, but I do have a few soft spots for some of those bands, such as Faith No More, which this band reminds me a lot of.  Just pure energy throughout this set too, so it was real easy for me to be stoned and hooked for the whole thing while I cleaned around the house.  Glad I decided to give 'em a spin!   - DH

NOOTHGRUSH - January 10th, 1997 @ 924 Gilman St, Berkeley, CA [SOUNDBOARD]

 If you know me, you know I love Noothgrush.  Loooove 'em.  Love their music, love them as people, they rule.  So I'm quite stoked to be sharing this here, the soundboard recording of their set at the 5th Fiesta Grande, at 924 Gilman St in 1997.  I think I did a little quick EQ'ing on this, and it helped boost the badass-ness of this recording.  This is of course legally and morally required to be played at the highest possible volume, and listened to by the highest possible people. Get to it.    - DH
