Notes:
Marcus Parris: "This was the first East Bay backyard show I ever went to. Was still in high school and drove up from Sacto."
Blatz: "Alex Botkin, the guy who assembled the 30th Anniversary 924 Gilman shows that featured MONSULA, TILT, MTX, SMUGGLERS, CRIMINALS, KAMALA and the KARNIVORES, & many others, asked Jesse if he could xerox one of his o.g. BLATZ flyers from the original. It came out pretty good, huh? SINISTER SISTERS OF SATAN, GREEN DAY, FILTH, MONSULA, EAST BAY MUD, ECONOCHRIST, DOWNFALL, CRUMMY MUSICIANS, & BLATZ, all at Dementia Hauz (home of Fraggle & Nondo & a bunch of other freaks)! December 10, 1989."
Fraggle: "I started Dementia House. It was a little rickety house with a white picket fence and trees in the front. It had a basement that wasn’t attached to the foundation. So it was like sitting on the ground. You could walk up the stairs and the house would shake. The first party was December of '89. We put out flyers. The turnout was insane! The bands played in my backyard - Econochrist, Blatz, maybe Downfall, maybe Filth. I remember looking out our front door and the entire street was nothing but people. And the cops were just standing out there. The great thing about punk shows is, people go dance, get drunk and fall down. The cup [that grants you free refills on beer] gets crushed. But we never made a profit."
