They blew us away - an unforgettable explosion of energy and vitality.

I was with you at this show and you started heckling the band, not realizing that Kenny and Yukki Gipe/Kurt Davis were drunk off their asses. I think I still have the tape I recorded of this gig. You yell, "Is there any part of you that's real?" And Kurt/Yukki says "My hair. Look at my hair. That's real!" A few years later, I read an interview with those two and they said that show was when they realized they both had to quit drinking - i.e. go stone cold sober. So unknowingly, you saved two people from a lifetime of alcohol addiction. <BR/><BR/>BLV also remains one of only two gigs I've gone to where a member of the band has offered to buy the t-shirt I was wearing off my back.* At another BLV show at Maxwells a few years later, Yukki/Kurt wanted my Wire shirt; at first I thought he was kidding but then he said he wasn't. I declined, must to his chagrin but I told him the record store in Northampton, MA where I got it (it was the one where Eric Gaffney of Sebadoh worked, can't remember the name of the place now). <BR/><BR/>* The other time was at a Pelican show in Lawrence, KS where guitarist Trevor deBrauw wanted the Bedhead shirt I was wearing. Again, I declined the offer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-87707488651621100372008-03-20T13:26:00.000-04:002008-03-20T13:26:00.000-04:00Moving Targets, definitely, although about the onl...Moving Targets, definitely, although about the only stuff worth posting is "Burning In Water" and the earlier demo/compilation tracks (some of which I have)...<BR/><BR/>I've got a copy of "Take This Ride" on CD, but I'm pretty sure nobody wants to hear that.Brushbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439601217855895036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239910173455706271.post-3990661737755359252008-03-20T09:31:00.000-04:002008-03-20T09:31:00.000-04:00I had honestly forgot all about Bullet LaVolta!

One of my prize negative scene point moments was going into one of the dozen record stores that used to populate the landscape in beantown, and selling back a CD copy of "The Gift" because I had the album..the guy behind the counter was really curious why I'd want to sell back such an "awesome CD"...turns out it was Yukki Gipe himself (mine lacked the rn'r signatures too!). Any chance of some Moving Targets popping up on here?<BR/>-Sean / Wires In The WallsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
