- No Trend circa 1983 in a Los Angeles studio. Featuring members: Jeff Mentges, Frank Price and Jack Anderson. Manager Steven Blush subs for AWOL drummer, Greg Miller. Shot by Al Flipside for Flipside Videos.
We need more no trend footage... their live stuff is nothing short of some of the most notorious in the whole DC scene... No trend was the no wave of no wave, the creme of the crop.
Frank Price is the real hero... a great guitarist and true outsider.
It seems that information about him is hard to come by.
Other than he basically hated people so much he killed himself. Most people don't need to know more than that-but I can't help but be curious.
When I first saw this clip, I realized that he looked and acted exactly how I figured he would.
Weird....
Which one is frank price lol?
@@TruppDriscoll I don't think that's why he did it though.
@@Haassan1 Commercially? No Trend!? Maybe I miss something
@@TruppDriscollHe hated people so much that he decided to play in a band with other people? I doubt it 🤷♂️
The first time I saw them play was at an outdoor concert on the National Mall in Washington D.C. supporting the local "progressive" music station. They were relentlessly heckled and harangued and pelted with garbage, beer cans, etc. It was magnificent. They were magnificent.
Conspiracy, Occult, Illuminati & NWO Media Review Noice, did you ever get to talk to them?
Sure, the lead singer Jeff worked at a record store I used to got to regularly and we shared a similar taste for extreme fringe bands.
That is actually really cool, are you still in communication with him?
No, I moved to Boston for college in the late-80's.
A lot of semi-famous members of various D.C. bands worked in local record stores. Ian McKaye and a bunch of DISCHORD folks worked at YESTERDAY & TODAY Records in Rockville, MD which is where I lived in my early teen years. Most people in the early hardcore scene semi-knew each other (at least peripherally).
One look at this vid tells you a lot about this band. They mocked and sneered at you, all the while being tremendously entertaining. One of my all-time favorites and certainly most underrated and unknown groups ever. Damn I'm so mad now that I sold all of my NT vinyl to a used record store....nevermind that I don't have a turntable anymore. Thanks jackhug for the upload!
Gives me chills every fucking time. Such a beautiful song.
@Cool Cucumber Death Disco by P.I.L
I first heard this song back in '83 when the band were interviewed on the Maximum Rock and Roll radio show (I listened to and recorded it off of WSBU Stony Brook) thought it was fantastic! To me they were the East Coast/D.C. answer to Flipper. Frank Price's guitar playing and sound was truly "Out There".
For me wfmu 1980s. thank God for college radio..it's one of those songs that sticks with you..( finally on Spotify
the band that was compared to, by the washington post as “being on the capitol beltway during rush hour without any exits”
In high school some goth chicks invited me over to their house to watch Christian Death videos, and somehow this clip of No Trend was tacked onto the end of the VHS tape! I was a huge NT fan and was totally stoked, but the goths were like eww what is this stupid shit and why can't they play music.
Yeah fuck the lame goth. . NT was the shit. The pissed all over the hard-core bonfire
I used to listen to this song everyday in highschool
Used to skate to this song at the old Annandale ramp and then Cedar Crest ramp
seeing no trend as actual humans playing instruments feels weird
Don’t worry, this is also them not playing their instruments. They all switched places and are miming. Watch it again.
Like Nirvana ripped them off levels of miming lol
I love it. Listen to it everyday.
Well once again today this song had came into my head after not hearing it played in over 25+ years, and once again did a google search with the few words I have remembered of it, and I found this in my search! AWESOME!
Only heard it played a few times on WSOU, a local college radio station here in NJ, back in the very early 80's...now I have the "sound" once again, besides my memory of it! :)
TY for posting this vid..made my day!
Wfmu for me, early eighties.. finally on Spotify as of 2 years ago
OK, I've watched this about 10 times in 24 hours. Video is hilarious, you're all so adorable, this makes me really happy.
One of my favorite songs ever.
Brilliant song. Thanks for this view of it.
You guys are seriously one of my all time favorite bands ever.
This is really what no trend looks like?
Zack Grandma yea surprised?
No more surprising than how the Butthole Surfers looked back then.
Was this band really so hated that no one ever video recorded them live during this era? Would love to see at least one video.
There is almost nothing about them in the internet apart from they music , i tried to search stuff about frank the guitat player to know more about he story ( because he was the writer for most of the songs and lyrics ) and i don't find anything

I wished people still listen to No Trend
They do
Yes
Nothing short of genius.
Wonderfull. no conhecia this is band. very good!! I'm Brazilian guy. Aqui penso eu que poucos conhecem este som. AloHa muchachos!
wow I mean WOW this is crazy sick good...what happened to this band?
Love the PIL influence in their stuff, man.
The version I had of this song recorded back in high school was different a bit slower and a bit crazier.i wonder if that version even exists today.
Yeah there's a 7" version and this version
I've always preferred the 7" version, the vocals are dripping with sarcasm and the out of tune guitar sounds more menacing.
what a cool ass band
Im from Maryland like NT- my friends dad used to play guitar with them but he left after things were getting complicated.
Are you talking about Frank Price? (the one in this clip)
+Jayson HatesGooglePlus they've had several guitarists. Frank left in 1984 I believe
haha obv playback..they r so wased..love this tune
This is the only video of them i’ve been able to find. Does anyone know where I can find others, or if other videos even exist?
Thank God for college radio
FUCKING AMAZING
Best song on the internet
SO GOOD ♡
all good memories
killer tune forever the best
Sounds like Moss Icon
I completely agree with you on that one.
Was thinking the exact same thing just the other day.
THESE guys were genuinely and truly nihilistic and there was nothing fake about them in the slightest. Unlike eyehategod who were absolute posers with their "nihilistic" imagery and music (although I still like their music, they were full of shit) These guys were the real deal
The spoken word reminds me of The Velvet Underground's The Gift.
The fall influence
Does anyone have this w original audio?
Sounds like a Tao Lin story.
great observation.
a great band!!!
+fheisk how do you feel now? I found that I fell out of this kind of cynicism and other darker pleasures (Faith No More for an easy example) for a while, but have returned to it with less of an obsessive attitude. Now I generally don't care, and this is just good music, and very articulate and expressive. I don't quite feel like these guys, but I'm also not so happy-go-lucky as I was for a bit. This stuff's good. Not gonna bump it all the time tho, ahaha. But, I do bump Jizzlobber and Cucku for Caca all the time...hmm.
Yo.. Someone's gotta find the tabs for that bass.
seconded....... BASS TABS ANYBODY!
Shōtarō Kaneda learning it by ear will help your playing tremendously!
i actually ended up doing just that

Slappa da Bass!
flames and glass fragments

hi!!!
sorry, i didn't recognize jeff mentges...
After drinking 2 beers!
It's Death Disco to my ears
El mejor registro de la historia
que interisante que algien como tu le gusta musica tan radical y estrania
What!
❤❤❤❤
where did you find this? this is hilarious
+Reggie Feels-Anime He actually owns a physical copy from 1983
Jayson HatesGooglePlus yeah I'm just curious where the tape came from
hahaha i burst out laughing at 5:00 a guy crawling on the ground
Lol i never noticed
finally, indeed
I would usually feel the same, but the words paint such a vivid picture that it kind of supersedes the pomposity of his cynicism. Plus, the music is just so original for the time. Either way, I feels ya.
Hi
💛💃
@jackhug
hi J. this vid is really really cool
i just say its not the live sound of the video but yes the 7" vinyl version ( the best )
Real
What kind of guitar is Frank playing? The guy has a sound of his own and it is all sorts of fantastic. Great influence on the way I try to handle my guitar from time to time. Thanks for this video, sir. First footage I've ever seen of them.
It is either a Kay Vanguard or Harmony Bobkat, it's hard to tell with the Typical grainy VHS Quality
Kinda looks like an Epiphone Wilshire
Hey I know this is long overdue, but I finally found out what guitar it is. It is a 60's Kapa Continental. I bought the Drag City No Trend boxed set, and in the book that's included, they briefly discussed some of the gear they used. Also with some research i found the amp he used is a Yamaha G50. One dead giveaway is when the band takes the amp and you can see that it has a single 12" speaker. Hope this helps, Cheers.
Jayson C I just happened to be on UA-cam for your update. Thanks! I meant to buy the boxset day of release, but COVID happened and money drained. Saving my dollars for it and hope to get it this month or the next, because I’ve been waiting for years and I fuckin’ deserve it. I own a G50, too. Good stuff, thanks again!
Bud Hull You're so welcome! I also read that a hagstrom h3 was also used but i'm not exactly sure if it's on any notable recordings
classic
trying to tab the guitar, but only being able to hit one or two notes correctly
great vid but it s not the original sound !!
I wonder how the audio actually sounds like since theyre all sloppy looking and switching instruments lol
These shows always force the musicians to Lip Sync/Play to a backing track or the album version. This is probably the actual audio the band had to use. It sounds straight off the record.
i don't know if i really subscribe to this brand of cynicism anymore.
your loss
looks like society finally made you submit smh sad very very sad
So, kiss ass ... to your peer group!!!
What!
What!
What!
