Unrestrained have debuted a video for 'Ethel Mertz', the opening track on their forthcoming Forward Onto Death LP that will be out on Trip Machine Laboratories in May.
This video comes straight from the vault of Ron Brotherhood, and is a nearly full set from Undertow at Magic Circle in Redmond, WA on 4/8/94. Also of note, that was the same day that Kurt Cobain's dead body was discovered in Seattle.
Chokehold playing at an unknown location in
Detroit, MI on 12/?/95. This is as close to the full set as I've seen,
but the video cuts out as they are halfway into the last song, "Burning
Bridges". If anyone can help with info about the venue, or the exact date, please get in touch.
Going through my old videos has been great. Over the coming months, a bunch of awesome full sets will be posted, and today it's Unbroken at a VFW Hall in Bordertown, NJ on 7/10/94. It's hard to say that this is truly the full set, though, because after a half stack comes tumbling down, there's a cut in the video, but this is the full video that exists of that set.
In 1998, Florida's Shai Hulud came to Portland for the first time with Overcast and Disembodied, and they all played at the Stage 4 Theater. The show was originally set to be at 17 Nautical Miles, but it got moved a couple weeks prior, and it's a good thing it did, because there's no way everyone would have fit into that tiny venue. Unfortunately, video of Overcast and Disembodied from that night are lost forever, as the master copies got destroyed when the original filmer's basement flooded. But I still had the Shai Hulud set on VHS, and here it is.
April 1st, 2000 served as the first show for my old band, The Dead Unknown, and the final show for Backside Disaster. Now that I finally have myself setup for transferring VHS tapes, here are full sets of both bands from that night.
