Astir-Few

SOME OLD FLYERS AND RANDOM PHOTOS

| Brian

Dug up some oldies…this flyer was for a show at the thunderous 508 House in Tom’s River, NJ. This was the final show of the Fracture/Franklin summer tour of 1995. That’s actually a picture of me singing for Astir-Few on the flyer.

These two photos of Franklin playing a Cabbage Collective Show at the church at 48th & Baltimore appeared in a zine that I no longer have. Looks like I just kept the photos. The ego, I tell ya.

From what I can recall, these photos were taken from a show we played with Hoover and Hose.Got.Cable but I can’t be sure.

These two photos were taken in a basement outside of Baltimore, MD. in the fall of 1996. Franklin went on a 2 month US tour taking Atom and Schumow with us. Fracture had disbanded, so Atom had been spending time learning how to use sequencers and 4-tracks to record his own music. Atom booked the tour for us so we wanted him to also play some of his songs before we played on the tour. So, at each show, he’d perform 3 or 4 songs.

This was the start of Atom & His Package and this show here in this basement, I believe, was Atom’s first, actual performance as Atom & His Package.

Another flyer I found of a show that was held out in the Philadelphia suburbs. While we didn’t play the show that’s me playing guitar in Franklin on the flyer.

FLIER DEPOT!

Chris O’Neill was kind enough to scan these old fliers from his personal collection. It’s definitely true that fliers, pre-computer design days, had a charm all their own. Cut up, xeroxed messes that showed actual hands-on interaction with the medium. Anyone could (and did) make fliers and each was a piece of art in their own right.

I suppose I could explain each of the shows these fliers were for, but maybe that would rob them of their charm. Too many words are bad sometimes. Enjoy!

By the way, is it “flyers” or “fliers”? I never can remember.

ASTIR-FEW DEMO

I guess bands have always sort of been like gangs. You picked a gang (or the gang picked you) and you never strayed. Sure, there were other gangs you liked to hang with and you played shows with those gangs or did split 7″s or toured together, but your gang was your family.

I’ve never really understood the person who plays in multiple bands. I always sort of felt that if you were in a band, you give everything to that particular band. If you didn’t, you were cheating on the gang and the gang had every right to knock you upside your head. I guess the issue to me was which is more important, the individual or the whole. I always preferred the whole.

Of course, that’s not saying I never strayed.

Fracture was a gang we liked to hang with. In fact, we pretty much did everything together. I’m sure I’ll get to more about Fracture in the future because, they really were great and together, we went through some amazing experiences.

After Fracture broke up in 1995, playing their last show at the First Unitarian Church before Chris, their singer moved to Bellingham Washington, the guys sort of took a rest. Atom Goren, one of their guitar players became Franklin’s unofficial manager/mascot and the rest of the guys got into trying their hands with new gangs.

Jesse, the drummer from Fracture had been playing with his sister Carly on bass and their friend Justin on guitar. They had a sweet little gang starting. They needed a singer. Jesse and I had become very close from the Franklin/Fracture days and I think at the time I was going to Carly’s house every Tuesday night to watch 90201 and Melrose Place. So, it seemed logical to give it a whirl.

Oral erectile dysfunction medications are not aphrodisiacs will not cause an erection if there is no sexual stimulation. low priced viagra We named the band Astir-Few, the combination of two flowers and practiced weekly at Carly and Jesse’s parents house out in West Chester. We recorded this demo with Mark Scott, the other guitar player of Fracture who had set up an 8 track, home recording studio as his Mom’s house.

Astir-Few lasted only about a year as I recall. We played a handful of shows and even did a short tour of the North East. We never officially released anything, and the only other recording of the band was a recording we made with John Chriest of Lungfish down in Baltimore. John was a great guy but had no idea how to record a band like ours. The recording he did was horrible and I think I recorded over it years ago to hide it from the world.

This demo recording seems to be a much more accurate example of the gang. That’s Jesse at the end of Interchange. One of my favorite raps ever.
