I cannot believe I finally found UG on UA-cam. I lived in Mpls. from 1982-1987 and saw UG many times at Duffy's bar (record release party for Darwin's ...), 7th St. Entry, Williams Pub, and some club at the U. I knew a good friend of the band who introduced me to them and I used to talk to David at a coffee shop in the city (near the German restaurant). I was at the concert in front of Northrup Auditorium when they got shut down by the campus police. Always a blast to see them.
Always a fun night out with Larry and the band. They played lots of weeknights at smaller bars like Uptown and William's... usually with some insane drink special. Nice guys, too.
I also really liked their Sonny & Cher cover- "The Beat Goes On". Brilliant.
Had great times listening and dancing to them live!
I used to go see the guerrillas all the time especially at 1st ave./7th st, entry. They were so awesome. And those were the best times ever.EVER!!! I feel sorry for kids now days. They'lle never understand just how cool things used to be.
Saw them nearly every week. Love them
LARRY!!! What a great guy!! Go see him at The Driftwood in Mpls.
Larry is a great guy!!
How could anyone give a thumbsdown? these guys are awesome!
Always one om My favorites at Kirbys. ! Loved working with them through Craig Sound !
In 1984 I saw these guys play outside at the University of MN. The administration building was just to the left of the stage and the workers complained about the volume. Someone told them to turn it down. After they left, the singer proceeded to tell the audience about this dilemma. He said the following, "You know what I say to those people? F*@! you up there in your offices!" The band gave the finger to the offices. The audience followed suit. The school shut the show down. It was fun
I was at that show! Good times.
I went to the U at that time and just happened to walk over there between classes. They just finished taking a break. Larry lit up some joints and the band started playing again. I believe it was the verse Hand on the finger finger on the trigger baby baby baby was a rock and roll N that started the issue. They were told to turn it down. After the FU they were unplugged. Classic.
Thanks for posting. I would love to get my hands on a copy of Hey Day.
I saw this band at Kirby's in Moorhead, MN every chance I could!. What an awesome time. Kirby's was a blast. Kirby's had so many great bands, UB were definatley my favorite. My God those were fun times.
Same here. Might be one of the first bands I ever saw at Kirby's, back before they even had a stage. Always drew a good crowd, always a good show (visually as well as musically).
I still have a book of matches from First Ave from the 80s...
TY Deb that was awesome, sorry I didn't get your text earlier, maybe in 2 weeks
Of course this UA-cam video is the one that can be shown. I saw some of their shows in the Uptown area in 1980's, and they were grotesquely obscene, to the delight of the punk crowd.
archive.org has a bunch by these guys, also check out
twin-cities.com/ug-dk84/dk-84.htm from the 1984 show at DK Studios,
and a show from the U of MN's Whole - twin-cities.com/whole/whole.htm
DK Studios shows were the best!
fun days,great tunes and great parties and people at larry"s after the gigs
Love this!
Dude, I was there for at least one of their shows at Kirby's circa 1985. Those were the days!
@D.Allen --> that is larry abitz
He is wearing my pants???? Where are you Larry Abbitz,??????
@bloderme haha, I assure you. They were not gay. Minneapolis was the best place to be in the "80's for music. These guys put on a kicking show! And people actually danced, not this standing around and bopping of the head toward the stage. We actually moved.
Why isn't Urban Guerrilla's available on Spotify?????
Wish I'd known of them back in the day
amen to that
hahahaha larry sahagian
Larry…!
Isn't that Mark Buckingham on Bass?
OMG!!!! Larry!! down on ur backs I like it like that!!!!!
No way Joanne! Never
Four o’clock stop the bus get out on the street and jam.
Larry you still alive?I am still alive 👍
why cant people make music like this. I hate rap and all the music these days
as populations get dummed down by capitalist and consumer culture, music suffers.
