This was after we ran into Slight Slappers from Japan at an earlier subway station. It turned out to be none other than Klaus Flouride. In Berkeley, as we made our way on foot from the last BART stop to Gilman Street, someone unexpectedly walked out of his house into his driveway as we passed and gave us directions to the club. We were as excited about playing on the same day as Excruciating Terror as we were about playing the fest at all. Meskipun itu tidak benar-benar terbatas pada daerah ini, tampaknya mayoritas pelakunya yang paling berpengaruh berasal dari sana. When we confirmed with Chris that we would play the fest, we hadn't practiced even once with the new lineup, but there was no way we would have said, "Thanks, but we're not ready to play a show of that magnitude." Fuck that! We had recently been fortunate enough to discover Excruciating Terror and we were obsessed with their Expression of Pain album. Powerviolence adalah scene musik underground yang merebak di seluruh California terutama di akhir 1980-an dan awal 1990-an. Richard Johnson (Enemy Soil): Fiesta Grande 5 was the first show we played with the new bass player that we had at the time. I couldn't believe how great these bands were and I was stunned that they couldn't get anyone to help them release anything. Some of the bands, like Capitalist Casualties and No Comment, were around for at least five years without any label interest before I put out their records. I loved the music and the people in the bands, but again, there wasn't really anyone else interested in working with them at the time. My primary focus became what turned into the powerviolence scene. Besides Boner, there wasn't a whole lot of interest they played a lot of crappy local shows to a handful of people. Same with the Melvins I became friends with them when they moved to San Francisco from Washington. They didn't have any interest from other labels at all. When I put out their 7-inch, at that point I was out of the band but I still wanted to help them because I thought they were great. Dodge: I started the label to help out bands that I liked who I didn't think were getting the recognition they deserved.
