[kj] Anyway we can get KJ to play Austin's South by Southwest Music Fest ...

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

I hear you Greg. I never got to see Husker Du and that is one band I  wish I 
saw. I saw Flag maybe 4 times in their hey day from 82-86 and the  Minutemen 
twice. Firehouse I saw too in 91 but I really wasn't that  impressed with them 
as with The Minutemen. 
 
Clubs are not what they used to be in L.A. anymore. The Whiskey is full of  
unknown bands that never play any other club in L.A. and would not go  anywhere 
in this town or any other for that matter but to fade away like dust in  the 
wind down the L.A. river. They do not leave a notch anywhere in the  scene 
maybe because they suck? The Whiskey does not even have top notch  bands anymore 
and whoever books that club needs a lesson in music. The last time  they 
booked a Punk gig? I cannot remember for I do not think they  do Punk shows there 
anymore. I saw the UK Subs there in 2000  and there was like only 50 people 
there at the most! That was sad for it  was the original line up and The Subs 
rocked as always!  Anyway times  keep a changing as that hippie said once. ;)

First,  it's cool to hear some other Minutemen/Husker Du/Flag fans out there. 
I've  seen each band many times (esp. Minutemen/Firehose/Mike Watt--never 
counted  but probably 15 times over the years). Second, it's even cooler (as an 
East  Coast dude) to hear people who actually saw shows at legendary clubs like 
 Whiskey and Santa Monica Civic--clubs I hear about on Flag albums, etc., but 
 never seemed "real" to me...P.S. I own "We Jam Econo" too.

Yep they sure did. Check this out Oliver 1978...
 
Also with Van Halen too!

That is weird of Flag but understandable. 
 
 
I did not know he was selling stuff up on E BAY, Jeff has some good  albums 
up there. I would not pay a cent for that Big Chief  album!  When Necros turned 
all metal and did open for Motorhead I  believe at one time here in L.A. back 
in 1985 at The Santa Monica  Civic? Barry the singer started this band of 
rock crap you would  not believe! If you have not heard it after Necros broke up 
I advise  you to pass! I saw The Necros with Virginia's White Cross at The 
Cathay  De Grande back in 1984 and they both tore it up with great  American HC!  
Me and my buddy tried to talk to Andy has  16 and 15 year old kids at the gig 
and he had a chip on his  shoulder plus was a complete fat asshole! Thanks 
for the Jeff Turner  info.

Wow,  the Ramones opened for Black Sabbath?

Reminds me of Black Flag  opening for Venom sometime around 1985. This 
was years after venom's  1st two, masterful, NWOBHM proto-thrash LPs, and 
when they had become  total wanker cock rock. I remember reading Henry 
Rollins was  embarrassed after the show.

I've always wanted to collect odd  double-billings like this.

A couple more that strike me are Mnor  Threat opening for PiL, or Minor 
Threat opening for The  Damned.

The drummer of Minor Threat, Jeff Nelson, is selling the  flyer that 
advertised Minor Threat playing w/ The Damned, on eBay,  here:
