It was a guitar, bass, and drum machine. The guitarist had been in Central File (a mod revival band). A year later, I joined a class at Blue Bear School of Music. The class learns a set of songs and plays a public recital. We did so well (we learned six songs) that we formed a real band. Learned a few more songs and we had enough to be an opening act at the Mabuhay. That band was the Corvairs. There wa an earlier Bay Area punk band with that name; we were not aware of them and would have picked another name if we had known. Our style was rockabilly. We did a lot of covers but started writing our own material...did an 8 track demo, and then broke up! draftervoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003617222621387026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860883129865190551.post-31037102043451839642018-04-14T20:47:27.026-04:002018-04-14T20:47:27.026-04:00Thanks for the great comments!

I used to mail order stuff from Rather Ripped Records but have never visited the Bay Area. I'm glad to share the music with you, and thank you for sharing your memories here.jonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17768659223034248624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860883129865190551.post-48731826360989153812018-04-14T19:47:36.825-04:002018-04-14T19:47:36.825-04:00Hi, Jonder. I want to thank you for this series. ...Hi, Jonder. I want to thank you for this series. I was tentatively in the S.F. scene from the start, although (at first) from the suburban perspective of Walnut Creek. We used to make pilgrimages to Rather Ripped Records in Berkeley to buy import CDs and copies of the NME. In '77, I moved to Berkeley just as punk became a "thing" and went to a lot of East Bay shows...and rode the "F" line bus to San Francisco to see shows at the Mabuhay Gardens (we had to RUN through the streets of S.F. to the Transbay Terminal to make the bus ride home after the club closed at 2:00 AM; if we missed it, the next bus left at some ungodly hour like 4:00 AM....). Later I moved to S.F. and ended up renting rehearsal space from Flipper's manager down in an industrial building in Dogpatch at 22nd and Illinois; we got three hours and were sandwiched between Silvertone (Chris Isaak) and Flipper. So we ran into the both bands coming and going...I remember the guys from Flipper were really great guys. Anyway...this brings that era back to me, so thank you. There were a lot of records I missed but would hear on KUSF, and now I have them, thanks to you! <br /> draftervoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15003617222621387026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860883129865190551.post-66783897558358299442018-04-11T18:31:14.518-04:002018-04-11T18:31:14.518-04:00I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you enj...I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed this series. You are exactly right, Subterranean and other distributors were very important to getting these artists heard, and getting their records into stores. <br /><br />I like Arkansaw Man a lot too. If you google Stephen Bartholomew Clarke, you will find a few more Arkansaw Man songs on his youtube channel. I will post their 12" EP here soon. It was reissued ten years ago by Radium (a sub-label of Table Of The Elements) with liner notes that called it a precursor to groups like Tortoise (pre-post-rock?) Arkansaw Man had one other song on a comp called "SF Sound Of Music" but only seven songs were released during their lifetime.jonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17768659223034248624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860883129865190551.post-59426211630826281992018-04-10T14:52:53.589-04:002018-04-10T14:52:53.589-04:00Thanks for continuing / completing this little pro...Thanks for continuing / completing this little project. The role of distros like Subterranean, Toxic Shock, Midnight etc. in the early & mid -80's can't be underestimated...Some real classics on this 3rd volume.

(I own a copy, but it doesn't really fit with the rest of the music on these comps.) Negative Trend's "We Don't Play We Riot" (SUB 32) was a 12" reissue of a 7" EP. A mere technicality, or a monumental error in judgment that invalidates the premise of this entire project?jonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17768659223034248624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860883129865190551.post-4859147386004152352018-04-07T13:31:47.775-04:002018-04-07T13:31:47.775-04:00SUBTERRANEAN SINGLES, VOL. 3
