It's not often that the local news is a purveyor of punk rock history, but I suppose stranger things have happened. Hell, just look around.
Last night on DC's NBC affiliate, reporter Mark Segraves gave us this story about the forthcoming release of two long-lost Bad Brains live shows from The Bayou in the early 80s.
I did not see that coming, but it's a uniquely local story about one of the pioneering bands of the punk era, and it's got some amazing footage of Bad Brains frontman jumping from the balcony of that late, legendary venue.
Fully expect Mr. KQ to jump into the comments and let us know he was at one of the shows that comprise the new release, which will drop Friday on National Record Store Day. Get some.

Bad Brains played the Childe Harold???? Wow. Circa 2000, that shit wasn't happening there.
ReplyDeleteI do know that Springsteen was there in his early days -- they named their crabcake sandwich after him, as that's what he ate. But it was a confusing association on the menu. Jersey = crabs?
