Both nights were incredible. Everybody was aware of the irony of the night, but it was in support of a good cause. Shawn Brown walked on to the stage and commented, "Welcome to the punk rock time machine." Every band gave it their all in support of the documentary in the making, "Salad Days: The Birth of Punk in The Nation's Capitol." It was a big party and everybody was having a blast. Great to see old friends and new.
The director of the film, Scott Crawford, is hoping to see a release sometime in summer 2013. Trust me, it will be good.

I wouldn't waste my money on these old fakes cashing in
Posted by D | January 3, 2013 7:08 PM
cashing in? i doubt they much, if any, money. i have to say i would be afraid to hear dag nasty in 2012 just due to the chance of it soiling my love for their first lp. brain baker WAS a great guitarist in 25+ years ago.

D,
Fakes? Why? We were asked to help a friend out to raise money for a movie about a music scene we were all involved in. And cashing in??I can tell you, for the time, money, travel, rehearsals, etc. involved for each band to do the show, NO one cashed in. We did this because that's what people do for people they care about: they help.

King Face
PS. Baker is still great.
