[audio] Skinny Puppy live in Los Angeles, 2023

 Skinny Puppy’s final show. It’s not a proper recording that I normally do. It’s just a bootleg, but I fixed it up as much as I could. Some details in the liner notes-

[video] Author & Punisher live in Salt Lake City, 19 May 2022 (full set)

 Shortly after I recorded this one, I posted a couple songs to YT, but never the full show. I finally got off my ass and fixed up the whole thing.

I threw on some ridiculous filters on this one, you may or may not like it. Those first two videos are still up on YT if you want to see what it looked like with normal editing.

Tracklist and more details on the YT page.

I remastered the audio so now it sounds amazing, and put some crazy filters on the video so now it looks all trippy. Notes and tracklist on the YT page.

[audio] Skinny Puppy live in San Francisco, 8 July 1992

Skinny Puppy live on the Last Rights tour, San Francisco, 1992. Back when they were at the height of their darkest, most nightmarish noisescape industrial style. And of course, back when Dwayne was still alive. RIP Dwayne.

Board tape (stereo! no distortion!) landed in my lap recently. So it sounded pretty great in the first place, but as with everything, it needed some substantial work.

For major reconstructions like this, I’ll go so far as to reverse engineer some group multi-track stems (drums, bass, vocals, synths) to give me more control over everything. Definitely the right choice with this one, as the final mix sounds mind-blowing. Especially after I added in crowd sounds.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the complete show. They opened with Addiction and Love in Vein. Addiction didn’t make it onto the original recording at all, and only the last past of Love in Vein did.

Also, Dirty Tricks was actually the first song of the encore, following Left Handshake. The song they played after Dirty Tricks, Testure, for some reason fades out right in the middle of it in the original recording, so I wasn’t able to use that one, either.

Luckily, I was able to save Dirty Tricks by making it the show intro into The Choke.

All love and respect to cEvin, Nivek, and everybody else involved with the band.

[audio] Not Breathing with cEvin Key live in Los Angeles, 9 February 2011

Not Breathing with special guest cEvin Key live at the El Rey, Los Angeles, 9 February 2011.

This was when NB opened for Meat Beat Manifesto. Special guest cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy sat in with NB. I couldn't tell you what parts he played or what synths he played, but he was out on stage, jammin' along for the entire performance.

I originally gave this recording to Dave, the main guy in NB, shortly after the concert, and he put it up on Bandcamp for a long time. But I see now that he must have taken it down at some point. But I contacted him and he gave me the OK to put it here on my concert recordings blog, so enjoy.

This one gets off to a little bit of a rough start, with some glitchy clicky noises in the first several minutes. But once the music really gets started, they go away or are otherwise unnoticeable.

[audio] Richard Devine live in Los Angeles, 25 February 2005

Richard Devine live at iComplex offices, 25 February 2005.

Back in the 90s in LA, there were a few dj/artist collectives that would organize the underground-y electronic music shows- Darkmatter Soundsystem (the only one that now, in 2020, still organizes shows) handled most of all the breakcore shows, Mashup Soundsystem also did breakcore shows, ELM did idm shows, usually on the harder/darker side, but sometimes not, and would regularly bring some combination of Otto v Schirach / Phoenecia / Richard Devine to town (Pet Shop show in Silver Lake is legendary!), and also Infinite Complexity aka iComplex did probably the widest variety of musics, idm and industrial and techno and dubstep and drum and bass and other random stuff.

And this is not to mention LA's long-running industrial club Das Bunker, still going strong, but quite frankly is a whole lot less underground than those others I mentioned. Although Franck and company still will have some good live acts play their hallowed halls every now and then.

This Richard Devine show was actually not a proper concert; it was a private party for about 15 or 20 people. I don't remember why Richard was in town, or if he played some other show that weekend. Honestly, I don't even know how I was invited to this one, except that iComplex head honcho Whoman is a super nice guy who thought I should be there I guess.
