I don't believe they ever officially released anything . This single studio track is recorded from KLCC's Modern Mono back in 1983 when Dave Damage was the host.

There was no Drills in 1983. Chuck was in Punishment Farm then and Buck was in rehab.
ReplyDeleteAnd they were from 1979 to 1981.
ReplyDelete2nd incarnation Tim? I remember Dave playing the Every Band Sucks song on Modern Mono in late 1983 and wondering aloud if they were going to press it as a record implying it was a new recording.
ReplyDeleteOne day in the winter of 1979 Adam Fendrich (he is "Alex Holocaust", the "special guest" introduced by Greg before "Song of the South") and I were walking on East 13th street toward campus, in the vicinity of 7-11. We were trying to come up with ridiculous band names. Adam suggested "The Drills." I was a fledgling drummer; Adam had won a large sum of money by repeatedly entering a contest held by a record outlet I can't remember the name of (housed in the building that would go on to be Players' Caberet in the 80's). He put in something like 900 entries. With the money, he bought an amp, a cabinet, and a Peavey bass. Later, we decided to enter the Roosevelt Jr. High Talent show, where Adam was in the 9th grade (I was at South). For some reason, I couldn't get my drums to the show, so Chuck Clearwater stood in on maraccas; and Greg Gouminiouk sang (they didn't get the gig) By 1980 I was playing drums in the classic line-up of J. Gallows and the Executioners. My good buddy and fellow drummer Bob Beigler was nabbed for a reincarnation of The Drills that the insanely talented Chuck Clearwater put together. The Drills that you see in the photo and hear in this concert was amazing, and Chuck was the heart and soul of it, writing the songs and guiding the direction of the band - and what an amazing band it was. Listening to it all these years later confirms just what an incredible scene was happening in Eugene back in the early 80's. Thank you so much for putting these amazing recordings up for us all to enjoy.
