A lot was happening in 1989, it seems. Probably the peak of the local St. Louis underground rock (for lack of a better term) scene. At the time, Ultraman was my favorite local hardcore band. This video features Pat Hercules on guitar, with Tim, Rob, Mark and John rounding out the rest of the lineup. Enjoy!

Raymilland will be playing at Off Broadway on Dec. 26 with Bunnygrunt, Medical Tourists, and a special appearance by the Welders. Mark your dayplanners.

Raymilland are a legendary St. Louis post-punk band that has not played live since 1981. All four original members will grace the stage and play loads of material from their about-to-be-released retrospective. The archival release, “Recordings ‘79-‘81,” will be available at this show on CD or as a limited LP/CD package!

The Welders are a late ’70s all-female Punk/Pop band that will have an archival release on BDR Records in early 2010. They will make a special, one time reunion appearance at this show as well. BDR Records co-presidential bands will open the show.

From one of my favorite movies of all-time! Ray Dennis Steckler was a Z-grade movie KING and one of my heros. He died in January of this year but his films will never be forgotten, thanks to scenes like this one. Enjoy.

Simply awesome.

I wasn’t able to post this video on the GaragePunk Hideout because it doesn’t have the appropriate embed tags (you know, like you get from YouTube, Blip, Vimeo, etc.), so I’m going to post it here instead. Enjoy! And don’t forget to catch the King Khan & BBQ Show at Off Broadway on November 12

I just had to share this with everyone; it’s just great on so many levels. This is the original video that Bill Streeter found on the Internet Archive that he used for a little promo on his two Davila 666 videos over on Lo-Fi Saint Louis recently, but this is the entire thing. The reason I wanted to share it with all two or three of you that follow this blog is because of the hilariously enthusiastic bass player that comes up front for a solo midway through this tune… you can tell by his pre-solo antics that it’s going to be good. Enjoy!

Check these out on Lo-Fi Saint Louis! There are actually two videos in the playlist. Here’s the first one, posted here from YouTube:

Our next TIRC live rock’n'roll event is scheduled for THIS Wednesday night at Off Broadway. Yeah, sorry, I’ve been busy and kinda forgot to post about this show ’til just now. So sue me. But c’mon, it’s not like most of you reading this have that much going on on a Wednesday night in the middle of summer, anyway, right? So it shouldn’t be too difficult to rearrange your schedule to squeeze this one in… I mean, really, when was the last time you got to see a great rock’n'roll band from Puerto Rico… or ANY kind of band from Puerto Rico? So, now’s your chance. And these guys are good, too. If they weren’t, I wouldn’t be messing with getting ‘em a show here and promoting them on my website. Life’s too short to promote crap, that’s my motto… or something. So anyway, you’ve got this great band from Puerto Rico, they’re called Davila 666. My guess is that has something to do with the devil or Satan or whatever. Kind of a goofy name, but whatever. Go easy on ‘em, it’s not easy these days to come up with a band name that’s never been used before. So these guys play the kind of music that Kopper (that’s me, duh) really digs… soulful, trashy garage punk. Sorta like a Latin American version of the Black Lips, for those of you that need me to pigeonhole ‘em for ya. If that sounds like it might be up your alley, then I hope to see you at the show. For more info on these guys, visit their Myspace page. Oh, and if what I’m telling you ain’t good enough to convince you to go, then rest assured that ANY band on In The Red Records is one that you should do everything in your power to see perform live at least once before you buy the farm. That, my friends, you can take to the bank. Old Larry Hardy, my friends, that man knows how to run a record label.

Opening the show will be Left Arm and the Nevermores, so get there early to get adequately LUBED for these rockin’ Puerto Ricans.

By the way, RSVP and help promote this event on Facebook… CLICK HERE. Gracias!

Here’s one with Jack on vocals (the last one I’m going to share with you, actually). The Oblivians live at the Hi-Tone in Memphis, Saturday, June 20, 2009.

Here’s another from the Oblivians, shot by yours truly at their reunion show w/ the Gories at the Hi-Tone in Memphis, Saturday, June 20, 2009.
