I remember seeing these guys back in 1981 at a venue in Baldwin Place, NY which has now become (gulp!) a shopping mall. Terrific show, though. I'm glad to see they got back together. They're much older now but they still do a fun show.
Blotto rules! "I'll make more moves than Allied VanLines" - what a great line, it always made me laugh! :-D Good to see the boyz on stage again. Yeah, a lot of water has passed under that bridge ...
Hey TeflonBalls.... I saw Blotto in the Binghamton area back around 1980 or 1981. Do you remember them being there then?? It was at a small bar somewhere. Any idea the name of bar or location or even when??
There can only be one Blotto and even though this Blotto came first - I'm DEFINITELY siding with the Blotto from Japan. Hands down. Those guys are awesome (and super nice)
Yeah, the production value of this vid is pretty poor, but it's great to see them perform again. If you think they suck, you just don't get it. You probably think Zappa sucks too. I still laugh my ass off listening to their songs. Their humor is timeless. And I'm not even from NY (Maryland, and now, Florida).
Smiley .. shut the fuck up. I love this song and wish I could hear it live in Orlando. Keep going Blotto...... I.I..I. I want to be a lifeguard......yeah baby. ... thanks for the memories.

This is seriously one of the worst things ever. i DONT want to be a lifeguard because of this awful music.... you guys sould retire and stop. it might have been cool kept in a well padded garage in the 80's.
You have to be an idiot to think this is the "worst thing ever"...
These dudes were rockin out, and they still sound awesome..Hey we all get old..I hope some brat nerds you out when you're their age...then maybe you'll think about retiring from what ever lame job you'll be stuck at...Most likely, Blotto will still be making more money..still wanting to be a life guard.
Thanks for posting this - sorry I missed the show. I was gonna bring my video camera. Been a big fan since way back. Can recite all the words to "Drivers Ed Movie"
Both of Blotto's guitarists (Bowtie and Broadway), their keybaordist (Sergeant) , and their late bassist (Cheese, d. 1999) were in the Star Spangled Washboard Band. Drummer (F.) Lee Harvey joined when they became a rock outfit at Cheese's suggestion.
Is that Hammerhead Mike Kelly on keyboards !!!!!! Long live the SHARKS !!!!!

Not bad at all. They Might Be Giants were the sons of Blotto! This, Metalhead, and She's got a Big Boyfriend are awesome.

Which member was with the Star Spangled Washboard Band? I saw them in Nanuet NY at the Red Rail in the mid 70s. They were awesome.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to see if I still have their album. It's probably long gone, but I remember it being on Flying Fish records.
