The Bates Motel was an awesome punk dive, and when everyone found out it was closing and the space was going to turn into a frat bar, we totally smashed everything possible in the club on the night of the last show. The last Bates show ever featured The Kiss Offs, The Wontons, and The Fatal Flying Guilloteens. I believe the date was January 30th 1999.
The full video has some totally crazy stuff, a guy with an axe, destroyed toilets, etc. I'll probably put a few of those clips up, too.
That is wild you caught that on video. I heard about it but never really thought much of it. I especially never thought I would see actual video of it.
