Relics from the valley of the bored teenager
2 Balls & A Bat was Cliff Martinez’s band – I don’t know whether he was in the Red Hot Chili Peppers at that point, but we were blown away by his having played with Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band. I remember sitting outside of the On Klub with him, dejected that they wouldn’t let us into the club. Cliff’s wisdom, drawn from years of experience? “Dem’s the breaks, Kid.”

Nice flyer (designed by Spencer Savage), but our performance was canceled when we got there and they saw how young we were… only time that happened to us.
One of two wonderful Bebop megashows. I believe this was Uncle Cremation’s first gig. For some reason the ultimate headline, the Minutemen, who played an acoustic set, are not listed here. Flyer designed by Ron.
This flyer was most likely designed by Rich Bruland, co-owner of Bebop Records & Fine Art. Bebop was located down the street from the Country Club (maybe it was called Rissmiller’s by then), so probably the Clowns of Death were playing there… Nice try, but probably not a large overlap in audience.
