I have a couple new videos at the end which come from last week’s Third Friday performances. But I wanted to start off with a video I used awhile back from the late Flavors bar downtown. The Permilla Project did a jam called ‘Black Beans and Rice’ there.
Just for fun I poked around Youtube to see what other music videos I could find shot at Flavors, and there’s a nice little sampling herein. One is the local duo of Chris Demone and Chuck Cook, better known as Test Kitchen. This was shot in 2008.
Another local band which developed a following there was Slim DeNunn and the High Rollers. This was from a 2009 performance there.
Little did the person who took this video of Chester River Runoff just four months ago know that may have been their swan song in the facility.
The venue definitely attracted a wide spectrum of bands, as you can see. It will be missed.
Shot just down the street from Flavors was this video, featuring local classic rockers Pugsly and their rendition of the Monkees’ hit, ‘Steppin’ Stone.’
I certainly wasn’t going for sushi. And the Sex Pistols weren’t the only punk band to do the song; I have a version from the band Minor Threat on tape. In either case, this one was a little slower.
Around the corner in front of the old courthouse was Semiblind. Here’s a solid version of ‘Gimme Shelter.’
Once in awhile my old camera catches a song just right. Michele does a good job with their sound.
By the way, I didn’t mean to slight the Zen Monkeys, who also played at Third Friday. I didn’t get a video of theirs and unfortunately I’m not sure how to embed a video from Facebook.
Well, that’s a wrap for FNV this time around. Hope you enjoyed the tunes.
Boyce and Hart pretty much were the Monkees(in the beginning).
