Thanks to Jim Utz for this soundboard recording of The Humpers live at Cicero’s basement bar, Feb. 25, 1996… The band had just been to town about seven months earlier, but on their second trip through they packed a lot more punch, played a lot tighter, […]

The Cr@mps - Live at CBGB’s - June 10, 1977
Two sets by The Cr@mps at CBGB in New York City, from a period not long before Miriam Linna parted ways with the group. This is from a boot that’s gone around a few times. Those in the know will notice that I’ve cut “Surfin’ Bird” […]

The Mummies - Live at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ (12/31/91) and The Chameleon in SF, CA (9/5/91)
Yeah, yeah, yeah… Nothing really rare here. You Mummies fanatics no doubt have both albums that this shit was released on (the “Fuck the Mummies” a.k.a. “Mermis” boot and “Runnin’ on Empty Vol. 1″ on Estrus), but we thought […]

DaWillys - Live at McGovern’s in NYC - June 18, 1990
DaWillys were one of the coolest bands on the NY scene in the late ’80s and early ’90s. They weren’t garage; they weren’t punk, at least not in the traditional sense. Some lumped them in with the nascent “Scum Rock” scene, but to this day, […]

The Mosquitos - The Ritz - Winter, 1985
As the story goes, this Huntington/Northport, Long Island band formed when a band called Quisp broke up. Leader Vance Brescia had some songs he wanted people to hear, so he got a few friends together to perform them. Those friends included ex-Fabians’ Steve Prisco (guitar) and Iain Morrison […]

The Insiders - Live (5/12/84)
In the mid-’60s, most of the bands played the hits of the day. A few, of course, wrote a couple songs and maybe pressed up a couple hundred copies to sell at dances. However, if you talk to members now, you’ll find their sets were all about the covers. Heck, even […]
