Scratch Acid - Touch and Go 25th Anniversary

video and description taken from http://www.tgrec.com/index.php

All of us here at Touch and Go are pleased to announce the release of the first in our web series of mini-videos about our 25th anniversary birthday bash held last September at the Hideout here in Chicago. Now, for all of you who couldn't make the trek, here's a way (other than all those blurry youtube videos) to check out Big Black's stellar set, David Yow in all his writhing glory, or any of the 29 other bands that rocked thousands of socks off in one glorious weekend.

The series kicks off on our website this Monday, January 22 with an overview of the block party and how it came to happen. Then, starting January 29, we'll begin posting band-specific clips from every set of the weekend. We don't want to give too much away about the first few posts, but you can expect to see a little old-school, some more recent faves, and even one from a band that's so new they haven't released a record on Touch and Go yet. In the weeks and months to come, check back every Monday for a new video from a different act blending live performance and interview footage in commemoration of 25 years of Touch and Go

Awesome band. Awesome anniversary concert.  I wish more music was like this now. I guess I am getting old.

Tathagata,

@Kenedamick It's not age. Scratch Acid, Austin in the eighties in general, all the Touch and Go bands were the truest expressions of youth culture this world will ever see.

@xBillyTheKidx I'm from the mid-Atlantic area. North central Maryland. Outskirts of Baltimore. That's weird because I have been contemplating moving down to Florida. If I had to live on the street I know it would be warm. I've heard there's a good rock/punk scene down there.

@xBillyTheKidx Count me in! I've been trying to get shit like this started for a long time. People round here are just to fucking trendy. Where are you from?

@Kenedamick Its not a matter of getting old. Kids today are just pussies. They are to weak to handle this.
