Tenderloin @ Parts Unknown USA, 1997-xx-xx





I was transferring a load of cassettes that I had received in trade at the end of the 90s and early aughts.  Lots of Supersuckers shows with some Reverend Horton Heat & New Bomb Turks too.  In the process of going through all of those recordings I discovered this 3 song snippet of fantastic Kansas band Tenderloin.

It wasn't listed on the cassette J card and it was so long ago I can't remember who the trade was with.  From the songs they play I'm guessing the performance is from 1997. They are all songs off the self titled album that came out on Time Bomb.  No clue were the show happened.

I am a huge Tenderloin fan and was lucky enough to see them once.  They opened up for Soundgarden in 1996 along with Rocket From The Crypt here in Denver.  Most of the crowd just didn't get it.  I loved every second of it.

I was listening to my digital music collection on random this week and some Tenderloin pop up and I ended up listening to their entire catalog.  I recalled this brief recording and after listening to it again I decided to share it.  Great rock and roll.  Worth seeking out. This is short and sweet and sounds pretty good I think.  Enjoy.

Helmet @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1994-11-28

 

My friend Jim Hucks captured a ton of amazing video footage over the years.  If your a Helmet fan you might have seen this on YT or clips of it on his channel.  You can see it here.  Jim's video
He sent me the audio from his video to me so I could share it with y'all.

It's a lovely board feed with a rabid crowd right up front so you hear folks yelling for songs here or there.  I've really enjoyed listening to this while preparing it for upload. This was the tour for Betty so it's stacked with songs from that including some deep cuts like Pariah.  They also played a cover of Killing Joke's song "Primitive" ending with FBLA II into Unsung.  Amazing show.  Wish I had been there but again big thanks to Jim for this capture.

Black Curse @ Hi Dive - Denver CO - 2025-09-22

Scott H. Biram @ HQ, Denver CO, 2025-10-16

 











I've seen Scott H. Biram a bunch of times in the last 22 years.  This show was an outlier in that it wasn't a full house.  Not even close.  At the show it didn't seem like he minded but listening back he keeps talking about the good old days of selling out Three Kings Tavern.  Song choice's seem a bit melancholy.   Or maybe it was the tequila he was enjoying.  If he was down about it he still gave us a hell of a 90 minutes.  Thanks Scott.

Lots of old blues covers in the set which par for the course.  I've seen him go really heavy with some deep cuts before.  One time he covered Budgies "Crash Course In Brain Surgery".  He went deep on this night covering Austin TX cult band Crust's song "Sacred Heart".  Crust was on King Coffey's Austin label Trance Syndicate.  It crawls into some Butthole Surfers territory in the best way.  Then right after that he played his old song "No Way" which I have been requesting on this night.  Stellar show.  Enjoy.

The Spittin' Cobras @ Three Kings Tavern, Denver CO, 2012-11-01

 



Here is a set for a kick ass Seattle Washington. rock n roll band The Spittin' Cobras.  At Three Kings Tavern as part of a 4 band RnR bill.  The Spittin' Cobras was helmed by Jules Hodgson who plays with PIG and KMFDM going back to the early aughts Alex Karchevsky on vocals, and Jake Hagan on bass.  They only put out one album but came through Denver a few times.    At some point they changed their name to Detönatör.  Basically the same sound members.  They just put a out a new EP on bandcamp.
Fun Rock N Roll band.  Check em out.

Pretty good sound and a setlist with 2 new at the time songs that I don't think ever were recorded or turned into Detönatör songs.  Enjoy.

Sebadoh @ Ogden Theatre, Denver CO, 1995-03-04

 

Here is another of the MarcR DATs from 1995.  This time it's Sebadoh at the Ogden Theatre back on March 4th 1995.  I guess this was still the tour for Bakesale since Harmacy didn't come out until 1996. They do play a few songs from Harmacy though.   

Denver what did you do to Lou Barlow previous to 1995?  Before he leaves the stage Lou says "Thanks this total has made up for everything I thought about Denver".  Sounds is pretty good.  Fun setlist.  Enjoy.

Agriculture @ Hi Dive, Denver CO, 2025-11-11

 

I first caught Los Angeles band Agriculture at the Bluebird Theatre in Denver opening for Chat Pile back in 2023. That was a great pairing and I picked up their self titled album that night.  When the announced this Hi Dive show I immediately bought a ticket.  I've been enjoying their newest album "The Spiritual Sound" a lot this year so I was excited to hear those songs live.  

They call themselves ecstatic black metal.  They get called black metal, black gaze, post black metal.  Who cares  really it is just really good.  Live they delivery the goods as well so don't miss them if you get a chance.

This set is full of mostly songs from the new album.  Sounds really nice I think.  Enjoy.
