Emerald City was a club in the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill New Jersey. The club had many types of bands play there including Punk, Post-Punk and New Wave bands. Both of these shows are radio broadcasts and sound quality is very good, although the Buzzcocks show has a little tape hiss on it.

This blog is great! I just downloaded about 15 things! I take it you are from Philly, as you have Sadistic Exploits, Ruin, Autistic Behavior, etc. I played in a band with the bass player of AB. If that's the case, I've probably been to a lot to the same shows as you.
ReplyDeleteErwin, I am from Philly. What is the band with the AB bass player?
ReplyDeleteThe Mezmerons. We played JC Dobbs, the Barbary, Bachannal and City Gardens
ReplyDeleteI don't know Mezmerons. Have you got tapes?
ReplyDeleteVery crude tapes, yes. We do have a Myspace page setup a while back. There's some tunes also from my first band, Dry Heave.
ReplyDeleteErwin, I've had a listen. All the songs sound really good. Plot Twist is a favorite. I didn't live in Philly from 1988 to 1990 so maybe that is why I missed the band.
