Bolonium @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2022-06-16


At the recent Bob Log show I also recorded audio of the openers Bolonium.  I shared the audio with them and they liked it so much their drummer Bonnie Finley made a video to go along with it.

I've know Bonnie for awhile but I hadn't caught Bolonium before this night.  Fun smart stuff.  Really great energy and I look forward to seeing them again.  Check out the video below and I have a few pic too.
Enjoy!

Bob Log III @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2022-06-16

 











Bob Log III is someone I have wanted to see for a long time.  At least since the early aughts.  Can't remember if I heard his song "Clap You Tits" or "Boob Scotch" first.  I heard tales of his live show and wanted to see but despite going to 100s of shows a year since the 90s I never caught him.

I saw he was coming to the Hi Dive this June and decided that I wasn't going to miss it.  I'm sure it's not nearly as crazy as it was back in the day but he put on a hell of a fun show.  Good time was had by all.  Lots of smiling faces.  What more could you want?

I took a crack at the setlist but was overwhelmed fairly quickly.  If you a big fan and can fill in the many blanks for me I would appreciate it.   Sounds really nice too I think.  Enjoy.

UNSANE @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2017-07-18

 




I've seen Unsane a bunch of times but according to my records I have only recorded them twice.  Once back in 2003 and this 2017 show at the Hi Dive.   

One of  my favorite Unsane shows, that I wish I had a recording of, was when the opened up for Slayer at the Aztlan in 1996.   The crowd was hyped for Slayer as per usual and were chanting Slayer and generally giving the opening bands a hard time.  Well Chris Spencer won them over, or at least got the crowd to shut up, by out Slayering them.   At one point he admonishes the crowd.  "Oh your Slayer fans?  Is that all you got?  I got the mic and the PA".  Then he started screaming "SSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" into the mic repeatedly.  The crowd calmed down after that and let them finish in relative piece.

That was my first time seeing Unsane and the won me over big time.  They are also the only band I have ever seen open for Slayer that used a harmonica in a song.

Unsane announced that they were calling it quits in 2018 because Chris was going to concentrate on other bands.  That lasted a few years and then the announced that Unsane was going to be a going concern but live was going to play older material.   The got a one show under their belt in 2021 and then you know what happened.   Looks like they have played a couple shows in 2022.  

Chris Spencer had been putting his attention towards his new band Human Impact that has put out an amazing album and EP so far.   Check that shit out if you're a fan of Unsane.

I recall this show was really loud and the bass tone is insane.  Enjoy.

Bill The Welder @ Starlight, Ft Collins, CO, 2001-07-18

 

I just heard that longtime Ft Collins punk rock fixture Bug (aka Daniel Snow) has passed away.  I only met the man a few times of the last 20 years or so.  But I know a lot of my Fort Collins friends were really close with the man.  RIP Bug.

I thought as a tribute I would post my only recording of his band Bill The Welder that I have.  This was from a hot summer night back in 2001 when BTW opened up for Rocket From The Crypt.
