Shudder To Think Jade Dust Eyes & Vampires Proposal 3-12-89

[suggadeg]

An acquired taste, but an excellent band nevertheless.

@suggadeg I understand, but for me, there was no "aquisition" about it. Get Your Goat grabbed me by the balls when I first heard it.

Different strokes, I suppose.

This recording hardly does them justice, BTW. All the wrong freq's are amplified.

[superdrugs]

this band was always awesome, through all the lineups. so weird and such a high energy level.

Thanks for posting this. "Jade Dust Eyes" still holds up after 20+ years.

Man, they were so good like 1988-1991... just incredible...

I don't know how to feel about their early stuff. I mean, their later work (Goat, Pony Express, 10,000) is SO much more refined. But I guess there's SOMETHING to their older, coarser sound.

I saw Shudder to Think a few times in DC back in the day. I lost my copy of Curses, Spells, Voodoo, Mooses in a house flood.

Another great and long lost band. Saw 'em play 2/3 times in London in 91/92 and they were excellent. Who remembers the Holy Rollers?

I posted a couple of their songs from a 1990 show. I wish I had more. I contacted Chris but he told me, "check YouTube"!!! Maybe we should all look in our attics.

WOW, never seen Craig with so much "flare". This is a rare sight. Thanks for posting this up, I totally admire Shudder!

[longduck1]

Great! thanks.

I love Ten Spot and Get Your Goat, what a great band. Thanks alot for posting, please post some more around this era if you get a chance.

I remember a few Fidelity Jones shows there that were incredible. I also think the very first Jawbox show was there, opening for Shudder To Think, and Jay busted his guitar and suddenly their set was over.

[lowend]

damn...Fidelity Jones? NICE!!! I saw Jawbox and Shudder To Think play in SLC-great show, unfortunately I don't think many people were into Shudder To Think-which is sad, they were a great band!

[piscato]

I have a copy of Jawbox's set list from that show.

[njmac]

i think that was the show where i took the shot they put on the vinyl version of ten spot.

I need to put the "Pearl To Stone" from Wilson Center, you can see your flash go off when Bobby jumps at that historic moment. Funny!

I saw many shows at BBQ Iguana between 1988-1990. Between John Galbraith or Pam and Shawna putting on shows there or Safari club when things weren't happening in the halls, DC Space or 930. It was a hole in the wall. I remember at one show, someone spraying mace in that place and it hit everyone. Although the iguana was actually on P street 2.5 blocks west of logan circle, a bit south of U street corridor.

Wierd recall...they gave out "Free Pizza" that was made with hot sauce to make you buy a drink...is that right?
