Boilermaker - Hamtramck, MI 6/16/96

Detail: Full set, quality improves after first song Venue: The Infamous Hamtramck House Flyer: While on tour in 1996, we had the pleasure of meeting the Boilermaker guys in San Diego and were supposed to play a show at Che Café. Unfortunately, a promoter mishap had us following a college reggae band sometime after midnight, and Boilermaker did not play. We were paid with a bag of oranges. Luckily a few weeks later we crossed paths with Boilermaker again in the mid-west and played a couple of shows together. They were amazing. I filmed this set in a dark basement with about 20 people in attendance. -- Boilermaker is a band that’s been in heavy rotation in my life for 20 years. To the uninitiated, I’ve often described them as the best band you’ll never hear of. If you don’t know Boilermaker, I think you should. -Brian Discography: Watercourse (1994) In Wallace’s Shadow (1996) Boilermaker (1998) Leucadia (2001) Members: Richard Sanderson Terrin Durfey (.)
