Saw them together at a Big Day Out. Can't recall what year.

Here's one thing I'd never seen before.

While searching YouTube for music yesterday:

Yep exactly same thing happened to me when searching for the same band.
Geez they were good a little while back on Sunny Coast!!

..speaking of Henry Garfield...
from around '81/'82 the DC two-piece below, Snakes, was doing tongue-in-cheek pisstake punk, surrounded by the emerging hardcore and straightedge dudes (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Fugazi, etc). Henry was in a band with them (SOA), and convinced 20-yr-old Ian MacKaye to record the Snakes duo for Dischord records, but they were eventually released on the Discard sub-label, cos they weren't seen as cool enough by Ian, et al. (though punk pathetique was an authentic part of the DC scene.. ):

"everyone did these serious bands but then we all made ridiculous tapes at the same time, which were always more fun than the real bands. I have this tape of a new romantic band called Show 'n' Tell, which was Ian (MacKaye), me (Michael Hampton, Snakes, SOA), Eddie Janney (Faith, Rites of Spring), Mark Sullivan (Kingface), Ivor Hanson (SOA, Faith) and those are actually really good songs. We were trying to do Flock of Seagulls"..

I can't find that, (unfortunately!), but for $8, here's the Snakes debut:

or a free taste:

this stuff is very listenable for lovers of Meanies, Hard-ons, etc.. but if you like your punk like you like your wrestling, below is a gem of a clip from some of the above musos:

^^ Alec Mackaye, you-know-who's brudda, on vocals.

That Snakes song is great. DC hardcore encouraged monomania, short songs, stripped back, it was part of the monastic appeal - even shaved their heads like monks - but it also meant harmony and irreverence were in short supply.

That said, I enjoy the occasional Minor Threat live clip, especially the gigs in halls and rooms where there's no raised stage so the band and audience are level and bedlam ensues.

Like this. Minor Threat's greatest minute played live. Yeah it's a cover but whack it in the basket labelled 'covers that are better than the originals'.

that's epic; that guy throwing himself onto his own face halfway through sums up the scene's exquisite commitment.

These guys are good. Plini. (no singing lol ;)
Young bloke got me onto them he's a mad guitarist.
He saw them in Copenhagen last night.
