Hrm, I came of age at the tail end of all that. Actually, right in the middle of the years that feller had documented. I think I remember that boxcar kids show, but it coulda been any boxcar kids show...the specific one I remember was the night the speedway closed down for good. Bad times, bad times. But still memorable nonetheless. I just went through a big stack of old show flyers that I found in my parent's basement a year or so ago, many of which had been saved by my poseur older sister, many of which had been saved by me. I forgot I had even gone to half of those shows. If I had a scanner, which I don't, but might in the next couple of days, I would put some of 'em up in the photo album...might as well preserve my useless nostalgia somewheres.

i just went and saw psychic t.v. in portland a few weeks ago and had a weird flash-back of watching some girl getting raped on stage at a show back in the late 80's in utah. i thought that show was at the speedway, anybody remember this?

i thought it very interesting that gen is even alive still. flashing forward from that speedway show i would definately not have pictured either of us even being alive let alone actually looking better!

dont know if you consider them good or not... but Skint www.myspace.com/skintusa is pretty good in my book...

I wish I could remember the names of some of the places I used to go for good music, most of them have been bulldozed in the ther interviening years.

I was there, I was in Nightmare in Wax, I remember Willie Tidwell, th' Massacre Guys, the Boards, Angle , the Atheists, 004Ska,, But no Big Fish, just don't remember, I have some recordings, of course most shit from mine own own band, also some Willie Tidwell, I remember playing at the "Roxy" on main, played there a lot, also at a dive on 3rd west and about 14th or 15th south, that wasa a fun night, the were four of the aforementioned bands lined up and all played that eve, I have the poster for it....somewhere. I also remember playing at the "Church of Jayne Mansfield, party for the new atomic age" held at the Unitarian Universalism hall up on 13th, I knew Larry Roberts, before he wound up in Trent's Ashtray, he and Gill Huff (Hough?) and Neal Haskins played in a campy "Leisure Medallions" band. I have some tapes of that evening, as well. and Moss and James, and Judd. and Kirkland, that Kirkland was the person that "made it" the farthest, in music. At one point he had moved to Manhattan, and joined up with "Prong", but he left that band, before they folded, and he returned back to Zion, Dear Zion. This bunch was loosely associated with Trent Harris, and the Plan 10 from outer space bunch...Mike established sound co records, on a shoestring, and records and distributes a small portion of the local music scene. The Boards have a CD from the old days distributed on sound co. The last thing that I did musically was in the LUNI TROUPE, in 2000, played at Kilby Court, and a lot at Bert’s Tikki, and I wouldn't call it punk, tho definitely altish and weird. it got goo ink in the locals , and City Beat or whatever it was gave that LUNI CD a "best in 2000" for what it is worth, I haven’t done much with it, but one can still find it listed on Amazon, and obscure German collection from the American west! now no more said the better I'm not tryin to make=e an advertisement, still, I have had thoughts of creating a compellation , if possible , from old tape, and so-such, of as much as is possible of some of those musics, from the day... the really fuggin true SLC Punk bands. Probably not a cash spew but it would get to the CD pressing Stagehand bla bla bla bla enough end.
