SWANN DANGER

NEEDLES

Needles - full set from last Friday’s show at 924 Gilman.  Needles were easily my favorite band of the night, and I know it’s cliché to say, but every time I see this band they just get better.  Needles new 7” EP is, in my opinion, their best material to date, and you can purchase copies from Bad Skulls.

OJOROJO

Ojorojo instrumental track from their split with Inflicted.  Ojorojo was an offshoot of a short lived band called Cancer Alley, that featured ex-members of Grimple, Econochrist, Animal Farm, and Multi Facet.  They released a full length on East Bay Menace in the late nineties, toured, contributed some tracks to the "Shit Gets Smashed" comp, and lastly there was the split with Inflicted.  The members of Ojorojo wasted little time before moving on to other projects.  Mark and Ira went on tour with a reformed Grimple, and then shortly after that we introduced Ira to our buddy Greg and those two went on to do a band called Brainoil with Nate Destroy.  Grant's new band was Talk Is Poison with Brian from Dead & Gone, Jim from Black Fork, and Will from Copout.  Jon went on to play in a band called Pig Iron with ex-members of Grinch and Fuckface.  Jenean was, for a very shot period of time, the lead screamer for Murder Takes No Holiday, which featured ex-members of Eldopa.  Ah, the East Bay in the late nineties.

BLACK FORK

Black Fork - Total Eclipse Of The Brain

"Clamp down your imagination running wild. Your hopes, your thoughts, your dreams: they’re gonna die and there’s nothing I can do to change it."

This Is Not A Step

Amy and Rich from 1984 Printing made a new batch of posters for 'This Is Not A Step' fest, which is less than two weeks away.  Posters will be available at the shows, and telephone poles around the East Bay.

Night Vision

Look Back And Laugh video from the first night of a Christ On Parade reunion weekend that we booked at 924 Gilman in 2007.  This was one of a handful of videos that were shot by UGZ friend and supporter Chris Sickdog, formerly of the dogmalice.com website.  Chris' videos utilized the night vision function on his camera, which is why they lack color depth.

Here are two more examples taken from the same weekend as the LBAL video above.

NEEDLES

Needles opening a show we co-booked with Nunca Mas for Total Fury (Japan) at 924 Gilman in 2009.  This is an early performance by what could be referred to as a superband, featuring members of Los Crudos, Talk Is Poison, Limpwrist, Kill The Man Who Questions, Dead And Gone, Black Fork, and more.  Shot by our buddy Dan at KillThatCat.com

This trailer has a very short clip from the 2007 UGZ Speed Trials in it. More specifically it has a don't blink or you might miss it cameo of Moses Saarni from CALIFORNIA LOVE unloading a barrage of blast beats. The graffiti pieces, which are partially visible behind him, were done by Will Rutherford the night before the big show at 924 Gilman.
