Weirdos - rehearsal, lives shows and demo 1977/1978/1989

The Weirdos are my favorite American Punk band so I thought I'd do a big Weirdos post. They existed between 1977 and 1981 and in that time they released only two 7" singles and two 12" ep. It wasn't until 1989 when they regrouped that they finally released an LP. It is unfortunate for the world of music that they did not get to release an LP in 1978 because it would have been a treasured classic. They certainly had the songs for it. The rehearsal and the Whiskey show have been bootleged up and down the world but thought I'd put them up anyways. The Gold Bear show has one song I can't title. Anyone know it? This version of Barbaric Americana is the same one that is on the Weird World vol. 2 CD. These Condor rough mixes are much better here than the final release.

Damned - rehearsals 1979

Here's a nice rehearsal tape of Captain, Rat, Algy and Dave working on a bunch of songs in the time before the Machine Gun Etiquette album. Only two songs here made it onto the album and there is one - Blind Lead The Blind - that didn't make it anywhere. There's also an early version of I Believe The Impossible which here is titled Don't Trouble Trouble. Most of these songs are instrumental. Very good quality.
