Halloween '92 - '97
Murphy's Law/D Generation/Electric
Frankenstein
Coney Island High 10/31/97 It is definitely Halloween time. There have been many treats and few tricks to spread
around.
Treats!!! There are a few of them. Tammy I hope you liked yours. Jim
I hope yours made it to the refrigerator. I will see Jimmy Tokens
tomorrow and I am sure he will tell me what he thought of his treat.
I’ll probably even get a beer out of it, cause I can tell you right now
he loved it. I should probably throw-up before I see him so that
my stomach is empty because I know I will be crying laughing when I talk
to him.
Treats to come!!! There are a few of them also. Tonight at the Murphy’s Law show I
floated John a $20 bill and got a treat for both e.bowla and Joh666n.
Joh666n and Big D are probably the two guys on the distribution I have
never met that I need to meet next, not that the rest of you do not deserve
to be met. This is the second treat I have acquired for Joh666n
even though I have never met him. As the perpetually small guy,
I have found that it is beneficial to have friends who will kick anyone’s
ass you ask them with out any sort of justification. Based on the
number of ass kickin’s Joh666n has administered I think Joh666n
seems to fill that need. It is nice knowing that even if you are
smaller than a guy he won’t pull shit on you because he knows if he does
he will have his ass beaten to a pulp.
Although I have never met you Big D, you know what floats and what doesn’t right
away. I respect that!!! I think that we have a mutual respect
for each other. If you say something is the bomb I will accept that
wholeheartedly. Through experience I think that you know what I
say can be respected and will not let you down!!! Thanks for all
the props!!! If you don’t agree let me know IMMEDIATELY!!!
Also it seems that you suffer the same harassment from the one-timers
that I do. Luckily, we are both still stalking streets and homes,
and not behind bars. Although only one of my multiple encounters
with the one-timers is the result of drinking. Even then, it was
only because Mayor Ghouliani is cracking down on what was before accepted
as part of normal NYC life. Now, one cannot walk down the street
with a beer in a brown bag.
Midori, your treat is going to come as soon as possible. I doubt that I will
wake up tomorrow in time to go buy blank tapes, make your tape, and send
it before the post office closes. That might be for the best though.
It costs me 78 cents to mail a tape domestically. I guess it would
cost me about $4 to $5 to send it first class internationally. I
will probably send it to Patrick McEntee’s APO address. What is
your last name? Mihalic or Miura. I do not like to ask for
anything from anybody, but can you send me a 5X7 picture of you
and Michi with Toby, Jimmy, and Roger. I am going to frame it
and put it on my wall. I have been thinking about what a great picture
that must be, if e.bowla did not fuck up taking it. My friend Andy
keyed me into that it is a picture that is most worthy of having.
I think you now realize who those three were. Andy has been dancing
around his apartment, consistently I understand, since he bought the H2O
CD. I cannot blame him. I love it too.
Kartik, if there are any left over tapes, as I assume I will be buying in bulk once
again I will deliver to you the promised all variations of ska that I
have to you. by putting it off this long you now will get some skinhead
reggae that I did not have before.
Live View - Murphy’s Law, D Generation, Electric Frankenstein plus others I missed
at Coney Island High. 10/31/97
As much as I wanted to write this, if for no other reason than this is Midori’s first
Bhatt-Zine and she likes Murphy’s Law and it was the Murphy’s Law Halloween
show, I don’t think I can write any more Bhatt-Zine's. I have lost
the edge that keeps it fresh. Believe me it was an awesome show!!!
My “show” shirt is now retired and I need to find another “show” shirt.
A history of Murphy’s Law Halloween Shows:
1992 - The Tilt - Allegedly sold-out show. I call up and the Tilt tells me
that they will sell a limited number of tickets at the door. We
go down early and get in line. We pay the $10 and get in.
Allegedly all the money is going to pay Jimmy Gestapo’s legal bills from
when he allegedly started a riot in Florida. Helga, are you proud
of my legalese. A great fucking show. A “Wall of Death” I
will never forget. We cleared an area that looked like a bowling
alley in front of the stage and in unison with arms locked we all rushed
the stage and the last thing I remember hearing was Jimmy saying to the
few bouncers that if they have never seen the “Wall of Death” to watch
out as a mass of bodies was about to rush the stage. We ran over
any one on stage who was in our way. Later e.bowla was carrying
Thruster, the guitarist at the time, and me on his shoulder regardless
of the fact that he allegedly was not going to mosh that night since he
could hardly walk after running 10K that day for ROTC. I put a nice
sized bite into my tongue that night.
1993 - The Grand - Me and two other guys show up at The Grand and the show is over.
I bought a ticket in advance. Allegedly there were several fights
and they played a real quick set and kicked everyone out. That was
just the ending to an ugly evening I will never forget. I thought
I might die that night.
1994 - No Show - I go to CBGB’s and see Alice Donut and Ultra Bide. Ultra Bide
plays their set and leave everyone in awe. Two more bands
play and then Alice Donut plays. Every band and every person in
the place unanimously agree Ultra Bide is the best band of the night.
That was one of their first NYC shows. They are now on Alternative
Tentacles Records.
1995 - Coney Island High - I go to Berkeley and miss the Murphy’s Law and Misfits show.
As a result I meet Adam, current bassist for The Toilet Boys. I
have a strong feeling they sux!!! Adam did give me a Misfits Halloween
1995 poster though.
1996 - Coney Island High - I take off work and go to the show. H2O opens and
they are the best band around, but at this time they are still just making
it. They play the best set I have ever seen, H2O or any other BAND.
I get a kick in the head and I to this day think I had a concussion since
I saw my vision black out over the course of 3 seconds and come back over
the course of another 3 seconds. I stay to the end of the H2O set
since they are so good. Between the Murphy’s Law and H2O set I decide
to leave while I am still able to walk out on my own ability. I
have suffered so many injuries at Murphy’s Law shows, not Halloween shows,
that I knew that if I stayed and saw Murphy’s Law I would probably leave
in an ambulance.
1997 - Coney Island High - I get there and Electric Frankstien is on. They are
good, as expected. Goat is playing drums for them. I was down
in the green room during the early part of the show. I asked Goat
if he was trying to play with every NYHC band around. Now I have
seen him play for Crown of Thornz, Murphy’s Law, and Electric Frankenstein.
Goat said he is trying to get his way through all the bands, a joke obviously.
D Generation comes on. They sux. While they are suxing I look
up and realize that Todd Youth is playing guitar for them!!! Todd
Youth is one of the best hardcore guitarists’ ever!!! The best hardcore
guitarist include: Vinne Stigma, Todd Youth, and Gregg Ginn. There
are two things that upset me:
