No Statik is a bay area band but with one important tie to the land of 10 bajillion Mosquitoes. Mark Wilcox. Old folks like me will remember him from Destroy! & Impetus Inter. I know him as my former roommate at the THD house. That bastard used to pull his loose hair out of his dreads while showering and leave them hanging on the shower curtain rod for the rest of us to enjoy. Oh, and the only guy in the house to send his clothes home to mom to wash and fold for him. True story. However, Mark is also one of the nicest guys on the planet. The Mark I knew would bend over backwards to help out a complete stranger, and I’m guessing that has not changed.
So while this band may not be from MN, Mark is, and for that I gladly link up this video of their entire set at Chaos in Tejas 2011.
Before there was a Slow Death, there was a Pretty Boy Thorson. Check it out.
Pretty Boy Thorson – “28 Years” from the album Ain’t It Funny on ADD Records.
Off With Their Heads…Mike Watt playing bass, Mike Felix on drums, Todd Congelliere producing, Bill Mcfadden of The Beltones writes the song and of course Ryan Young.
Discharge….shit, there is nothing you can say, it’s just DISCHARGE.
Get this while you can cause I won’t be repressing this.
Off With Their Heads – Never Run Discharge – Legacy You Left Behind
This video sucks. You can’t see the band. You can’t hear the band. It’s shot mostly under a black light. So why post it? The crowd sang the whole song, that’s why! Maybe I’m jaded. I was at their first show. I’ve seen them play to 20 people. I lived at the THD house, and when I moved out, Billy moved into my room. I’ve seen Paddy’s bare drunk ass more times than I care to remember. I knew these guys back in the day. I guess it’s just hard to imagine that they are this popular….on the other side of the country. I get being popular in Minneapolis…they’re from here. All I can say is Wow!
Now if you want to actually see and hear the band play that same song. Here they are on their home turf.
My name is Dave, and I grew up in Minnesota listening to the many punk & hard core bands that I'm featuring here. More important though, is that I'm not just posting the stuff that like, but I'm making an attempt to document every band that had something to do with the punk scene in Minnesota. From your Husker Du & Replacements to Dirt Poor & the Kung Fools. Bands that played bars, and bands that played basements and garages. I'd like it all represented here.
I'd also like your help. I can't possible do it all by myself, so if you want to see something here, let me know. If you see something on the net that deserves a mention here, let me know. If you'd like to contribute, let me know.
If you are in a band that I've posted here, and you want your stuff removed, just ask, and it will be removed. Most of my posts are links to other people's posts. Some of it is from my personal record collection. It is my intent to only post stuff that you can not otherwise buy. Long out of print stuff. If I link to stuff that is in print, I will try to include a link to actually purchase it. That won't happen very often though, since I try to post only stuff that I know to be out of print. If the band has an official website, I'll try to post a link to it. If I get something wrong, or you'd like to contribute something, let me know.
All I ask is that you enjoy the crap I post and if you have any suggestions, send me an email at: webbastard at mnpunk.com
