The Song Fight Bulletin Board

It'd be great to try to compile a list of all the "unofficial" Song Fight! Presents shows that have happened over the years. We haven't had any in a while. Maybe remembering them would inspire us to have some more.

I was just curious about when Ken first got in touch with me and the first time I met a bunch of Song Fight folks. Here are the show details:

The poster also lists Feldspar but I'm not sure if he was there.

If we're making a website it's probably worth noting that RS&C is Stueym and Bjam. Also, Raised by Wolves is on the poster, was he there?

Just found this...

Sound Arena Showcase Room, Van Nuys, CA, February 4, 2006

(In no particular order):

Moxie Prophets (Edge of LA)
Lunkhead
Octothorpe
Ken and the New Incredibles
Fluffy
Abecedarian
Evil-E
Prayformojo
State Shirt
Ross Durand
Seamus
Tiny Robots


The poster, pics and sound files are available at that website. The website might disappear soon, so if anyone wants any of that stuff you should nab it right away. Like right now. Not kidding.

Good find. Yes, that Web site is ephemeral, as are we all. RIP Edgar.

Man, Edgar... That was a really great show too.

It was an amazing show. I got video of a bunch of it that I never got around to transferring to my computer. I wonder if that camera still works...

EDIT: I've mirrored the site over yonder.

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.

I think I played this show too (as Jack) with my friend Mark (who played drums for brody at SFL Santa Cruz). I think the Landfills also played it.
