OFF! - Live in London

I was lucky enough to catch two shows by OFF! while visiting London. The latter one was a "secret show" upstairs of some London pub. It was small and packed and the show was great. Here's a song "Jeffrey Lee Pierce" from that show.

ILMESTYSKIRJA - 6.12.1990

Ilmestyskirja was a punk/hc radio show on national radio channel Radiomafia. The show got started in 1990 when the youth oriented Radiomafia was born. I remember listening to the show maybe once or twice before the host was Hilu, who did the show for over ten years, from 1990 to the new millenium. The half an hour show featured songs by old and new bands (mainly finnish, but some foreign stuff too), gig information, band interviews and even occasional zine reviews. Ilmestyskirja was always highly anticipated and I rarely missed a show early on. I used to tape the show or at least songs off the show a lot and here's one early Ilmestyskirja show which was broadcasted on a finnish independence day in 1990.

SNFU - Live 20.7.1985

SNFU - Live in Palisades, San Diego 20.7.1985


The first SNFU record I got was their second LP If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish, which I taped off from my friend sometime in 1990. I used to love that record, but soon after that I ordered their first LP and liked that one even more! SNFU had all the things going for them: great songs, exciting lyrics and their records had cool images on them. They were one of my favorite groups when I was 15-18 years old, no doubt about that. Their first two records are still classics in my book.

Here's a full, long, but never a dull set from their heyday. I used to listen to this tape a lot and it still sounds explosive and fun.

SET LIST
Joyride
Loser at life/loser at death
Plastic surgery kept her beautiful
I forget
Bodies in the wall
Seein' life through the bottom of a bottle
She's not on the menu

TÄKT - Demo 1996


Täkt was a short-lived two-man band from Finland playing swedish d-beat hardcore. As far as I know they only played one show (that's where the photo was taken at) and recorded this demo. The demo was supposed to be released as a 7" EP by a japanese label, but that never happened... So, here's the demo as a zip file, enjoy!

MINOR THREAT - live in Chicago 3.8.1981


Here's a full Minor Threat set from 1981 recorded at O'Banion's, Chicago 3.8.1981. It was the first time Minor Threat played the city and it was definitely not an all ages show as you can hear from Ian's between song remarks... The sound quality isn't the greatest, but the raw fury and the incredible stage energy of classic early Minor Threat come across well.

SET LIST
Out of Step
Guilty of Being White
Stand Up
I Don't Wanna Hear It
Bottled Violence
12XU
Filler
Straight Edge
Steppin' Stone
