During the late aughts of this fucking weird century, there was a noticeable drying up of places for bands to play in San Francisco. Long time SF musician and bartender at the SOMA's Eagle Bar, Doug Hilsinger, took up the slack by booking bands there. The Eagle were smart about this, as they managed to get all kinds of great touring and local acts to play within its space. Down Folsom St. a few blocks, the long running Stud Bar followed suite, the difference being that they'd book anyone on one of their slow nights. Hence, Barney Cauldron managed to get on a bill with another local obscurity, Tri-Cornered Tent Show. This show must have occurred on a Tuesday or something. At the end of this set, there are people clapping, so SOMEONE was there. God bless 'em.
I guess that Stud Bar closed down at some point within the last decade or so. I wonder what happened to all of the weird fixtures that they had.
