Dug out of the attic. Literally.

Me in my old band No Means No doing Self-Pity (excerpt) at the Mean Fiddler in London in 1991. I rarely listen to our records or watch old videos but seeing this clip made me happy. When we were good, we were good.

"Everyone’s got a hole
Everyone’s got stiff little fingers
You don’t have to know
You don’t have to be so particular... "

The center of is all dolled up for tomorrow's Canal Parade. Lovely! Alas, I can't make it to the parade this year. Still, I will post a few things referencing it. Here's my old band (before I joined, it has to be said) with their song No Sex (lyrics behind the CW'd image).

Berkeley 1986

From The Lookouts' FB page:
"The first show we ever played in the East Bay (or anywhere south of the Mendocino County line). Afterwards, a bunch of people got together and said, "We've got to find a place where we can put on shows like this all the time." A few weeks later, Gilman Street was born.
Flyer by David Hayes."

Funfact #1 - First US tour of ours (NMN)
Fun fact #2 - Future Green Day drummer Très Cool was The Lookouts drummer.

I don't post (my old band) stuff on YT but I made an exception here because it documents us doing , one of my fave songs, on my final tour with the band in the fall of 1991.

This show took place in the 2nd most remarkable location I've ever played, inside of the dungeon-like remains of the former Stalin Monument in Prague.

I'll tell y’all about the 1st most remarkable gig location another day. ;-)
