Mike Rep – Khyber 08/07/1993 Siltbreeze Show

January 19, 2012 / admin

Mike Rep from Siltbreeze night at the Khyber with Temple of Bon Matin, Strapping Field Hands, V-3 and GBV, From the Siltbreeze site: Before there were peckerwoods buzzing about lo-fi, Mike Rep—fed by a love for B-grade horror flicks, (the aforementioned) 13 Floor Elevators, Velvet Undergound, Kim Fowley and (blech!) The Doors—was concocting a mash of home-recorded punk, pop and psychedelia for a few fortunate ears. This isn’t the Sunset Strip or Lower East Side, folks, it’s Grove City, Ohio, a scene ruled by codeine, cannabis and Carling. So be prepared to hunker down with a fuzzy, furry and fried collection of 20-plus years of sound from the vaults of one of America’s most important legends in the flesh. The Creeping Flesh, that is.
Thanks to Mark Lux for the video tape. Thanks to Adam for the song titles.

Girls Against Boys – Khyber Philadelphia 5-14-92

January 17, 2012 / admin

Girls Against Boys from the Khyber in 1992. It is mostly stuff from their first 2 releases Nineties vs Eighties & Tropic of Scorpio plus my favorite Venus Luxure No.1 Baby. They played the Khyber pretty regularly so I’m not sure this is the right flyer. I as usual could not come up with all the song titles if anyone can fill in the titles for the first two songs please add a comment.

A little info on them: The group began as a side project of Eli Janney and Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty. Canty left the project by 1990 due to his commitments with Fugazi. Janney went on to recruit three former members of D.C. hardcore punk group Soulside—Scott McCloud, Johnny Temple, and Alexis Fleisig—to complete the line-up.[1] Girls Against Boys are perhaps most notable for employing dual bass guitars, a rarity in rock music, and for their second album, Venus Luxure No.1 Baby, a heavy yet nuanced entry into early 1990s post-hardcore.

Temple of Bon Matin – Live

November 21, 2011 / admin

Two Temple of Bon Matin shows from the Khyber. One is the Siltbreeze show from 08/07/1993 where they opened for Strapping Field Hands, Mike Rep, Guided By Voices & V3. The other is probably from around the same time. Both are with the Thunder Feedback Confusion lineup of Mark Lux on Bass, Trevor Dixon on Guitar and Ed Wilcox on Drums and vocals. The Siltbreeze video was shot by Rich – Thanks to Mark Lux for the tapes.

Guided By Voices – Khyber 08/07/1993 Siltbreeze Show

November 17, 2011 / admin

Video from the first Guided By Voices show in Philadelphia. It was a Siltbreeze night at the Khyber with Temple of Bon Matin, Strapping Field Hands, Mike Rep, GBV and headlining was V3. I’ll put up the video from the other bands as I get it done. GBV along with Pavement where the two bands from the early 90’s that I thought had a really unique sound that I was really into.
From Wikipedia – New York City and Philadelphia were host to Guided by Voices’ return to the live stage (and first shows outside of Ohio) in 1993. At this time, the always-fluid Guided by Voices lineup coalesced around the core of Pollard, guitarists Tobin Sprout and Mitch Mitchell (not to be confused with Jimi Hendrix’s drummer), bassist Dan Toohey, and drummer Kevin Fennell. Sprout, who was briefly featured in an early-’80s
version of the band, had re-joined circa Propeller and soon became Pollard’s primary musical foil, in addition to contributing several of his own songs to the band’s catalog.

The video was shot by Rich – Thanks to Mark Lux for the tape.

Television Personalities – Khyber 4-9-1992

October 27, 2011 / admin

I saw that Dan Treacy who basically is the Television Personalities was in a coma see the article I remembered I had a live tape of them from the Khyber. I haven’t been able to find any updates on his health but hopefully Dan will pull through. I think the tape is from April 9th 1992 but I’m not sure. According to Dan Treacy’s web site Mad Scene opened up for them that night and I also have a live tape of Mad Scene from the Khyber.
For all things Television Personalities check out A Day in Heaven site.

Sebadoh live from Khyber Pass cover image

Sebadoh – Khyber Philadelphia, PA

September 6, 2011 / admin

The tape of this show has no date on it – it just says Sebadoh & Khyber. So, I’m not really sure when it is from. My best guess would be around 1992 – 1994. I’m pretty sure this is the Sebadoh with Lou, Jason and Eric although I could be wrong. My clues are it is not the Kyhber show where the band had a fight on stage and Lou left. Also, the songs are all from up to Bubble and Scrape.

Just put updates to the song titles Thanks for the comments. Sorry you’ll have to rename the mp3 files yourself.

Seam – Khyber 6/25/92

August 10, 2011 / admin

Seam bio from Touch & Go site: Seam began as a three-piece in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Although Seam’s “pedigree” included Bitch Magnet and Superchunk, Seam’s reticent melodicism and subtly moving guitar washes occupy a realm quite different than the illustrious pasts of Seam’s members might suggest. Seam released their first single Days of Thunder on Homestead Records in October of 1990, and their second single Granny 9X on Merge Records in early ’92. The band released their first full-length, Headsparks, on Homestead in 1992. After a move to Chicago, Seam also moved to Touch and Go for the release of an EP and three full-length albums, the last being The Pace Is Glacial in 1998.
This is a live set from the Khyber from June 25th 1992. They were the headliner with CakeKitchen opening up for them. A couple of tracks from Kernal but mostly from Headsparks and the early 7″s. For more on Seam go to the Touch & Go Site. Also, check out Sooyoung Park’s current band Ee at Facebook

CakeKitchen – Khyber 6/25/92

August 8, 2011 / admin

CakeKitchen is Graeme Jefferies with various other musicians. Graeme had been in Nocturnal Projections and This Kind of Punishment with his brother Peter Jefferies. I’m not 100% sure but judging by the time frame it was probably Graeme with bassist Rachael King and drummer Robert Key. This show was on June 25, 1992 at the Khyber opening for Seam. Lots of tracks off the World of Sand album and the earlier Time Flowing Backwards album. Greame is still putting out releases – the latest is Kangaroos In My Top Paddock. For more on Cakekitchen (including buying cd’s directly from the band) check out the Cakekitchen Facebook Page.
