yo dawgs and dawgettes and... everyone else, here is some of our fave flyers from back in the days. you will notice how goddamm important we are to this ridiculous bay area scene.
It is a little known fact, but SLOBBER was an integral part of the west bay hardcore scene. We supplied the underage girls, the other groups supplied the machismo we sorely lacked. But seriously, check out the "El Guapo" spilt on 625 Records or Slap-a-Ham's BLEEEEEAAAUURGH" comp if you want to see who we was down wit, it's fucking historical.
This was another flyer for the same show as above. I think Andy was on 25 doses of some bad acid this night. There's a good video out, that will be posted to this blog, of JP showing everyone his member. If ya know what we mean.
The Cupertino Library was the site of several infamous SLOBBER shows, most of which ended in the police raiding the place and us getting shut down. Makes you really want to book us now, eh? The real story here is the band that's crossed out on the flyer: Ragedy Anne - or that band now known as THE DONNAS. Back then they were just putting out seven inches locally and they were silly enough to put down their home address. We were silly enough to get a map, figure out where they lived and drive to their house and ask them if they wanted to play a show. They were silly enough to agree. We were silly enough to make a flyer with them on it and they pulled out of the show...last minute. LAST FAVOR WE DID FOR THEM...AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!
Another flyer from the Cupertino LIbrary days, this one with former member's of MOHINDER, calling themselves Jenny Piccolo. South Bay staple act the BARFOS (aka GODSTOMPER) played their brand of chaotic noise and all was well. The bottom right corner says "self disicpline" as the guys from the Cupertino Library really wanted all the Redwood City heads to not get wasted and set off the fire alarm like the show below....
Yep, the fire alarm going off was only the beginning at the Leechapalooza. MENJ10 aka SHEEP SQUEEZE played making this show one for the history books of Redwood City Dorkcore. AGENTS OF SATAN were still a 3 piece then and i think still wore black metal make up and Lord Ballsack was sporting his devil mask. Don't even get us started on the Fabulously Fanatastic Frying Farmers of Funk or those GREMIES.
Another Gilman show...I think this might be the one where a tuba player joined us on stage...
So after all our whining, Ragedy Anne aka THE DONNAS, did play a show with us. We repeatedly harassed them and their Stanford Football Team boyfriends making for some pretty memorable one liners during and after the show. ahhh...Good Times.
Our friend Morgan used to live in this super remote house in LaHonda and offered us a show at the biggest party thrown of the year. We came, we saw, we kicked some ass. Then members of the Shedwellaz commandeered our microphones while we provided the music to their freestyle raps. Well over 300 people were in attendance and this party is still spoken of today.More local flyers and stories of our legendary performances to come!
