Good lord...what a song to open with! Amazing Yow can STILL do this. Saw Yow quite a few times in Chapel Hil and NYC in the late 80s and early 90s, more often in Jesus Lizard. But this song represents the ultimate Yow vehicle. Great clip and amazing to me he's still walking on anything but all fours...
I uploaded a video of Gorch Fork from this show as well as Damned For All Time from another angle. Sure was surprised to see more videos up there. Thanks for posting them! Was an amazing show!
i can't thank you enough for filming and sharing. i wanted to go to one of those shows so badly, but couldn't. scratch acid was one of the greatest bands ever. and yep, gortch fock is great, following right in the footsteps of all those noisy tripped out texas punk bands.
You're welcome. I know how much this band meant to so many people - I considered it my duty to sneak in my camcorder and film this show despite the surly staffers yelling at me to put it away.
@antiear David Yow's Facebook: 8/31/2011 Look for Scratch Acid in your town in November or December!!

@PieceofMindmusic we all know what we are talking about by calling something "grunge" - I think there are only a few bands that actually sound like something I would call "grunge", though And all of the bands that I think sound like "grunge" suck. I was just trying to facilitate the above comment
I met David Wm. Simms and Duane after the JL concert in Amsterdam. David Yow didn't show up though.... it's one of the biggest disappointments of my life... I truly believe David Yow is the resurrection of Jesus Christ

Scratch Acid are playing All Tomorrow's Parties, UK in December 2011! Yowza!
a band called Gorch Fock opened, they were pretty amazing with 4 guitar players, 1 bass, 2 drummers and the singer played trombone.

i think grunge would rather die than be put on life support
This is a different kind o noise. Music is just noise after all.
