I think King Arthur played this show too (Ken's party show).jack wrote:2 shows come to mind I don't think have been mentioned. Ken hosted a show when he lived above the Greek Theater at UC, in that huge old house. Great party, bands included SOS, Octothorpe (or at least Spud played), brody, KSDBAS, and a few more Bay Area folks from that time.
The other was the show Spud set up in Seattle at the Jewelbox Theater that featured the only live appearance of The Bloody Hams (awesome show!).
I think I have pics from both shows somewhere.

Bands:
Bloody Hams
Octothorpe
Glenn Case
KSDBAS
JoS was there (didn't play)
Rabid was there toting the rock (but didn't play)
Puce, Leaf, Bolio played with Bloody Hams with me and Ken
The Susies? maybe
Spud probably has the full line up. It was over 10 years ago! My memory is fuzzy.
The Susies also played at Ken's party show. I remember that. The glockenspiel set.

Late June or Early July, 2003 was when Ken's house party show happened I think. I remember playing "gonna be your man" with Spud playing some old Wurlie in the living room at Ken's house at the time. Good memories!

Re: Song Fight Presents History
Also, not an official SONG FIGHT! show (or even unofficial), but it did feature Octothorpe, Role Mach (Patrick Clayton), and the Pathetic Wannabees, who, as I recall, didn't show up. For those of you in the know, this show was attended by Reiko Hornibrook, who after seeing Mad Dog perform decided "I could do that", and now fronts the Seattle Pink Punk band Ichi Bichi. Date on the file is 2008.
