Boy is this one old! The local "indie" record store (Von's) holds a couple of open-air concerts behind their store each summer, and somehow we managed to obtain permission to play.

Fools.

At the time, we (Matt and I, and John Davison, and Jody Long loosely) just had enough material together to pull it off - we practiced for a couple of hours that afternoon, had a rough map of what backing tapes Jody was to use, and no idea how long it would take to actually set up the equipment.

The show was one of those 10 bands in 5 hours deal, and we took up one full hour to figure out the connections. So, my genius adopted son, Jody entertained the audience with his weird mix of disco/sound effects/skipping CD tapes. This, of course, cut the next band's set considerably short. A historical sidenote: the next band was Face 4-1, a popular local disco-fag band. Their singer? One Brady Branam, the guy who is now in Vergiftung.

The show went really well despite all the technological horrors and the audience, perplexed as they were, didn't throw stuff, somewhat to our disappointment.
