Los Xplorers Live! Several shows!

 

Henry Cooper - Guitar

John Barley - Guitar

Fred Kellogg - Bass

Marlin Reiber - Drums

Frank Poloney - Sax

Henry Cooper shared these files with me years ago and given that John Barley has just passed away it feels like it's finally time to share them. There is quite a lot of material here and I didn't even name the tracks but it felt like I should get this out now rather than in a year.

Dose - The Planet Purgatory Field Companion (Earthling 1994, CD)

 

Rob Henson - Guitar/Vocals

Chris Ross - Guitar/Vocals

Seth Delia - Bass

Collin Ross - Drums

Dose's first and only officially released full-length effort. I believe a second album was recorded and never released although tapes do still apparently exist (am I right JD?). I didn't know the Dose guys despite having lived across an alley from Rob for a time back in the early 90's so I don't know too much about the history of the band. Can anyone help out?

Saint Huck - Sound Over Sound (Unreleased? 1986)

 

Steve Perry - Guitar/Vocals

Chris Cook - Accordion

Dan Schmid - Bass

Tim Arnold - Drums

This is another recording that should have been posted years ago because Tim sent it to me years ago. At long last here is the unreleased (?) e.p. by Saint Huck recorded back in 1986. Two of the tracks did appear on the Panic On 13th compilation cassette shortly after they were recorded but as far as I know nothing else ever saw the light of day. No idea why. Dan? Tim? Steve? Chris? I remember seeing them at the W.O.W. hall in 1985 or so when Dave Allen was the full time singer (I think?). As always, please leave any background/historical details in the comments and maybe in five to ten years I'll update the post. As everyone knows, Steve, Dan & Tim continued on together in the Cherry Poppin' Daddies just three years later. The two bonus tracks are sourced from a cassette John O'Neil made for me in 1987. I've heard there are other tracks that were recorded but I've never been in possession of them. Anyone?

Pearl Divers - Unreleased Demos 1993?

 

Gayle Truax - Vocals

George Khier - Vocals & Guitar
John - Bass
Tim Erickson - Drums
Peter Weinberger - Guitar

The personnel here is a bit of a guess. Anyone from the Pearl Divers care to comment? These demos are unreleased and sat around on a cassette in Gayle's garage until she unearthed them and sent them to me to transfer to the digital realm. You can find their two released records here  I think these demos were recorded in 1993 but again, a total guess. 

Pearl Divers - Unreleased Demos (1993?)

1. Falling

2. Not Real

3. Whatcha Gonna Do?

4. Pyramid

5. When I Find Out

6. Nothing Doing

Chemakill - The Power of Bob 7" e.p. (1991, Bob's Ice Cream Records)

 

Rob - Guitar

Mike - Bass/Vocals

Randall (R.I.P.) - Drums

I believe this is the only vinyl release for Chemakill from 1991. There were two cassettes that preceded this, the 1990 Demo which you can find here and a self-titled cassette that came before that with a black and white cover. I haven't been able to track it down but I remember seeing it and that they thanked "the late great Ryan Smith" which I appreciated as he was the first punk I ever met. R.I.P. Ryan & Randall.

Tattoo (1978-1983)

Dave Rubin - Guitar

Fred Simmons - Trombone

Todd Dunn - Bass

Rick Palacios - Drums

Would never have known these guys existed had Patrick Neve not posted a link to one of their songs on You Tube to the Panic FB page, thank you Patrick!  Everything I know about these guys is in the article posted above from an Alaska newspaper in 1983; evidently they toured. The band released two singles during their tenure and it would shock me if there wasn't a cassette out there somewhere too.  The first single "Used To Keep Me Up All Night b/w Runaway Home" was released in 1978 making it the earliest recording this blog has been able to come up with so far. The second single "Wino (Oo My Baby Is A) b/w Never Did Nothin' That I Didn't Wanna Do" followed five years later in 1983. Patrick noted that the A side of this one sounded like a precursor to the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and I have to say I'd agree with him. It's in the energy rather than the instrumentation. Hope you enjoy!

A Few Chairs (1984-89)

Mimi Raiter - Guitar/Vocals

Marty Schwarzbauer - Bass/Vocals

Aaron Temple - Drums

A Few Chairs were around in the mid-80's and re-emerged as Skeleton Closet at some point in the 90's too. This tape was officially released but I don't have a copy anymore and I don't think the cover is going to turn up anytime soon so I'm going with what I've got. Not having the cover also means I don't know many of the song titles, Mimi or Marty if you want to help out please do! I think this is from 1986. Got most of the track names, thanks Hans!

Live at Satyricon, December 1988

Panic on 13th Reunion Show, W.O.W. Hall, 10/27/2006

As many of you know, there was an attempt at a Eugene documentary in 2005-06 that was abandoned for reasons I was never quite clear on. One positive thing that came out of all of it was the reunion show.  I was given a pile of material collected for the project after it was abandoned and the blog was born in 2011. I procrastinate.
