PSYCHIC VIOLENTS AT THE WAREHOUSE 6/10/1987

As summer of ‘87 came around, Psychic Violents (Jorge, Sam, and I) didn’t have a drummer. By some happenstance, our original drummer from the RED TAPE, Dave Dickey, was back in Gainesville for a short time. So we put on a show at The Bar on June 11, 1987, which became the very-limited cassette PRISON MADE OF SKIN.

We knew this was going to be our final show.* The practice session PSYCHIC VIOLENTS AT THE WAREHOUSE 6/10/1987, recorded on four-track Tascam the day before, anticipates that very energized, elegiac and also optimistic night.

Unique to this recording (never before released, and performed only once on the next night) are the opener “Hex” (with it’s long intro over which I recite phrases from TWISTED TISSUES TALES FOR TEENS), and the scorcher “You Are Downstairs”
(including a false start!). Listen to the tragic classic “In the Sky” with its brand new, stirring intro, and the 21-second “Sam Jam”.

Other songs “College Life”, “Head in the Sand”, and “Mother Mother” are on RED TAPE (1986), our first release, made from boombox recordings of our early live
performances), and are here in four tracks for the first time.

Here also are the WALK ON WATER (1986) stalwarts “Anymore,” “Feel So”,
“Mayberry”, “Psychic Violence”, “Happy Man”, “Outa Here”, “Shockaviolents”, “Setting Suns”, “Behind My Eyes,” the instrumentals “Country Psyche” and
“Boonsberry”, and “I Wish I Could”, where I garble the line “Don’t you want to move me” into “There’s a hole above me”, a change I decided to make right there on the fly. I do get it right the following night!

A favorite song of mine is “Breath”, which was written after WALK ON WATER but never recorded properly before this session.

I say “properly” but of course, this is a live recording of a very loud band, all coming through on four tracks. The drums are, shall we say, under-represented. As a result, we have more room to hear the nuances of bass, guitar and voice. For the sonic
impact of the full-scale performance, in front of an audience, listen to it in its entirety on Disk 2 of COMPENDIUM.

* We did play a couple of shows after this. The one-off “Desperate” on Disk 3 of PSYCHIC VIOLENTS COMPENDIUM is from a show at Churchill’s in Miami, with Greg Pierce on drums.
