Richard Edson returned to the band on drums.
Show is finally available on the excellent SONIC YOUTH EP expanded reissue.
Greg Bullock writes: I think also on this bill were hardcore bands The
Nihilistics and the Misguided. There was also another
"noise band" (as we used to call them - ha!) besides
SY. Could have been Rat At Rat R or Live Skull as both
were getting started at that time. Now that I think of
it, must have been Rat At Rat R.
I'm thinking this must have been the gig because it
was at a theatre of some kind, complete with seats
bolted to the ground a la a school auditorium or
old-style movie theater. An unusual venue for a punk
rock show. There were maybe 20-30 people there. Could
have been fewer.
I was big into hardcore at the time and I remember The
Misguided being very Hardcore. The bass player from
The Nihilistics threw up on stage between songs. My
buddy and I were very impressed by this. Later found
out he could vomit at will and threw up at every gig.
Ha ha. There were other bands on the bill--Y Pants
apparently, though I have no memory of them
whatsoever--but I can only remember these few.
Anyway, SY was quite a spectacle because they had
about 20 guitars, all very beat up and funky-looking
and a chick bass player. They played so loudly and so
brutally that some people--including me--left the
theatre and waited in the entryway/foyer area outside.
Little did we know it was the beginning of such a
creative and influential band that would be around for
the next 20+ years.
Anyway, if you can confirm that this is in fact the
correct line-up you may want to add the The Misguided,
The Nihilistics and Rat At Rat R to the list of other
performers. Just in case any of the other two dozen
people that were there decides to stop by and
reminisce.
