With this renovation, the venue will increase their capacity from 225 to between 500-550 (following the Berkeley Fire Department’s determination) as well as incre...
Punk as fuck for more than 400 years ✊🏿
"...there's nothing more punk than being #Black in #America."
"I'm not saying Black people created #PunkRock. I'm saying we *are* punk #rock, without even trying."
"When we have been pushed to the margins but we create in those margins, it doesn't get more #punk than that."
"When you're Black, you're punk rock *all* the time, you're a target *all* the time."
#SanFrancisco, do you know of any rock music bars? Playing punk, metal, alternative or anything else?
Should I take the BART to Berkeley's 924 Gilman Street tonight?
In 1991, I was in a short-lived punky DIY band with a weird rich guy I'd met at ABC no Rio (not a place where one typically meets rich guys). To my 1991 brain, he had seemingly unlimited funds with which to buy new records, and one of the things he turned me on to was a band called Nuisance.
By association, and from my distorted view from the opposite coast, Nuisance appeared to be part of the East Bay/924 Gilman St. punk scene. Upon closer inspection, they were a complex, fuzzed out guitar band with big Neil Young (whom they covered) vibes, only recalibrated for audiences who were into stagediving and petty larceny. Their songs were smarter and more sophisticated than a lot of what I was listening to back then, and I got really into their first album ("Confusion Hill"), which in hindsight I now realize opened up a lot of other musical doors for me which I might never have otherwise entered.
The weird rich guy (WRG) had an unusual batch of music scene connections, and one of them was Pat Duncan, who helmed the late night punk/hardcore show on WFMU for zillions of years. Pat had live bands on his show every week, and WRG would frequently sit in on the sessions live in the FMU studios (which at that time were still situated on the abandoned campus of Upsala College in East Orange.) Needless to say, I was pretty floored the night that WRG invited me to tag along to see Nuisance perform on Pat's show.
Memories of the actual performance are hazy (there's a VHS copy of it somewhere in the back of my closet which I hope to digitize someday), but I know they burned through a lot of songs that eventually wound up on "Confusion Hill", which has remained one of the few records from that era and that scene which I frequently return to.
Typical of many releases from the Lookout Records catalog, "Confusion Hill" suffers from kinda crummy production with the vocals buried in the mix and the drums sounding like suitcases being whacked with sticks in a dingy basement somewhere. But just this week I learned that said album was reissued back in 2021 with an all new mix, and the sample tracks I found on Soundcloud are FANTASTIC and have totally reignited my appreciation for this unique and mostly-forgotten band.
The reissue is vinyl-only and limited to 250 copies, but still appears to be available via Lavasocks Records. I'll let ya know when my copy gets here, but in the meantime, check the streaming version with the link below. "Nicotine" remains a killer jam for the ages, and wow, that guitar solo was definitely the jammiest thing circulating in my universe circa 1991!

A podcast I was listening to on my walk just referenced Gilman (“one of the stinkiest and most legendary punk venues in the country”) and it got me thinking about how Gilman's rules are a pretty good draft set of server rules/code of conduct.
