We were all stoked about this gig. Kind of an "Acid Jazz" trip, I guess. RIP Yvel, he was a sweet dude.

From the sessions that produced our The Uber-Mensch ist Tot digital release. Dedicated to our friend Jason, whose life had recently ended. I hope that his spirit soared away on wings of love and light.

Ear Spray Live at Second Act SF up at Archive.org!

More weirdness from Ear Spray, recorded live to iPhone on Haight Street in San Francisco. The guy who booked Second Act Noise shows, was very cool, friendly, and freaky in the best possible ways. Last time I saw him was in early March 2020, at a warehouse show in Oakland. We talked about Pere Ubu and vinyl hoarding tendencies.

The Northgate Quartet live in Oakland audio up at Archive.org

 

https://archive.org/details/4-16-14

The group on this recording was put together by woodwinds player/poet/visual artist Jim Ryan. Jim's idea was that a group with himself and probably me would form a core unit which would play at elder residential facilities. Our one time doing so happened at one such place on 24th and MLK in Oakland. I wish I could remember the names of the pianist and conga player, but that information is completely lost to me. This is the closest I ever came to playing some kind of Jazz in public. Who knows if that's good or bad I guess.

New Ovipositor live show up at Archive.org!

Ovipositor, 10/23/2004. An optimistic time for me, as the band sounded and felt good, about one year into our seven year run. Friends of the late Jason Batzer can hear him talk at the beginning of the set before the music starts. The Stork Club was as dingy as the above photo makes it look.
