Reply to: RE>let's talk videos! There's one Cramps video that was filmed live in a mental institution that's pretty strange. Its great musically and the inmates are really into it. I think this one is still around somewhere. I've seen it for rent a few places in San Francisco. - -------------------------------------- Date: 7/4/96 12:24 PM To: Kevin Cheli-Colando From: Bomp@bolis.com Can anyone tell me what's available on video-legit or no- by The Damned or the Cramps? I know there are videos and performances here and there(like URGH!)-but I'd love to know what's out there...

It came ou on target Video, who have put out a lot of great stuff. Now, sometime ago I heard that Target Video's archives were destroyed in the SF earthquake of a few years ago. Anyone know if this is true? At the Tower here, they carry a lot of Target stuff in both the rental and sale section. There is a great Target Video of the Damned in SF in '79. I don't know any other Cramps vids, but there's a wild clip of them doing "Primitive" circa '82 on Target Video Vol. 4 compilation. About once a year, you might catch the incredible video they did for "TV Set" on MTV. Apparently, they also made a fairly risque video for one of the songs off of Flamejob, but MTV refused to show it. There's also a video release of "Final Damnation," the 1989 (90?) reunion of the orginal line-up around, but I have yet to see it for some reason (like it's always out when I try to rent it). I think we may have some more various clips here and there on video, as well.

Can anyone provide the name (and phone number if possible) of reputable distributors that will take such product on consignment? Thanks much! Be seeing you, Bill BTW, the single is for the band Sister Ray (from Ohio). Send me an e-mail if yer interested in the single. I'll be off-line for about a week so give me a little time to get back to you! ------------------------------ From: Squishy@aol.com Date: Fri, 5 Jul 1996 18:35:17 -0400 Subject: Re: Distribution info It would help if you told us what kind of music it is. Most small distributors tend to specialize. Ie , if it's punk, there's people like Anti and Estrus, whereas if it's pop, maybe Parasol or Get Hip would be more appropriate. Anyway there are a bunch of small distributors/mailorder outlets, which is about what it comes down to with a one-off single. Bigger distributors tend to prefer dealing with established labels.

Shortly after I moved to the San Francisco bay area in 78, the Clash came to town and hung around, playing locally produced shows outside the Bill Graham realm. They were involved with a group called Rock Against Racism and the catalyst for a strong chapter here, which produced shows at the Temple Beautiful. The Clash people seemed to have passed beyond the "we're in a band!" phase and were struggling to make more of their position; RAR sprouted from bands (Clash), scene people, fans and politicos in an attempt at directing the growing scene, instilling some values before it became a disaster (and worse - no fun). Some were aware that the increasing press would draw in the wrong element (suburban at best), and it was hoped that RAR shows could attract many newbies, who could then be "indoctrinated" in a proper atmosphere of tolerance. San Francisco had strong links with the English scene (its punk mirrored UK punk), so its not surprising that RAR did some good stuff here. These shows mixed punk, new wave, reggae, R&B & art-school bands (always big) and drew about a diverse a crowd as I've seen. ** I should note Temple Beautiful {aka 1839 Geary} already was the site of band produced shows, so RAR didn't arrise out of a vacuum. Politically though, RAR was about as ineffective as you might expect. By the time Special A.K.A arrived in SF (early 80), Jerry Dammers said the the UK club scene was uncontrollable. This violence eventually killed off the scene. "Ghostown" is their choronicle of the end. I quit going to most shows here after Hardcore element started to spill into every show... I think the fascist element in UK mirrors the surburban Hardcore movement - both composed of followers who destroy any scene they try to participate in. These hardcore guys reminded me of the jocks who used to beat the shit out of hippies in the 60's and punks in the 70's. - "nostalgic" michael ------------------------------ From: Tawsurf@aol.com Date: Sat, 6 Jul 1996 01:23:21 -0400 Subject: Re: Billy & Miriam-Kicks kicks has plenty of boss ink on black cats like, kid thomas, gerry mccain, roy brown, wynonie harris and others....you are off base my friend!! ------------------------------ From: Tawsurf@aol.com Date: Sat, 6 Jul 1996 01:23:17 -0400 Subject: Re: let's talk videos! laura, thee cramps video on target, circa 1980?, is a kick and was filmed in a mental hospital in california!!? it is old; bryan gregory was still in the combo...the film rocks and is actually pretty dramatic cause the "stage" is crawlin with audience/band members...i have a late period god-damned vid that was released toward the end of the damned that is of their final tour. it is hot and has the captain, brian james , b.merrick and roman jugg jugglin the stage. i saw em twice during this period and i think the video is a fair treatment, cheers, toddd ------------------------------ From: patrick@xpedite.com (Patrick Cashin) Date: Sat, 6 Jul 96 08:23:27 EDT Subject: Re: Kicks Magazine Hey Folks, Just joined the list and noticed that someone had mentioned Kicks magazine.
