RANDOM CHILDREN – NURSERY SCHOOL 7″

| Brian


After we had recorded the 4 and 3 is 7″, we quickly realized it wasn’t all that great on the sonic front of things. I still remember getting the test press back and thinking, “Jesus the vocals are loud”. It’s funny to remember how clueless we were back then about anything having to do with recording or pressing a record. I’m convinced I thought that the plant that would cut the record would, “fix” the vocals and send us back a perfect sounding 7″ record. Duh.

Nonetheless, I don’t remember a single person saying to any of us, “My god man, this 7″ is horrid! The mix is unlistenable and the songs themselves are juvenile at best!” Thus, we carried on!

We continued to play shows around Philly and we might have even played a show or two outside of Philadelphia. When it did come time to record another 7″, we finally figured out that we should probably do it in a “real” studio. The real studio we discovered was run by a fella named, Jim Femino.

I had met Jim a few months prior to recording with him because, at the time I was finishing up becoming an Eagle Scout of all things, and part of that process was to intern at a place of business that interested you. Recording music seemed like a logical choice. So once the internship was over, and because none of us really knew any other recording studios or how one might even find one, we went to Jim’s.

Jim’s claim to fame (other than running a studio out of his basement in Royersford, Pennsylvania) was that he was a founding member of the band, Boston. While, I don’t think Jim ever made it onto any of the records, he swears by this fact and we didn’t really care one way or the other.

We recorded these four songs over a couple of days and at the end of it, spent what was to us, an obscene amount of money. I believe it was close to $1000. While still not a great recording, it at least sounded more like a band that recorded in a place that had a lot of things that light up and flash, and that was better than nothing. Jim still seems to be doing stuff with music.

RANDOM CHILDREN IN A BASEMENT

| Brian

This is hella throwback. Jeff Vaders, a fella most of us grew up with and who played in several bands in the early 90’s shot me an email with some old cassette recordings he discovered. Before we had the opportunity to play any real, “shows” we would play exclusively in the basements of our parents houses. Typically, when they were gone for the weekend. These shows would consist of maybe 14 or 15 people and the kids who were in the bands playing. This recording was made in Jeff’s parents basement on New Year’s eve 1990. The recording quality ain’t so great (which kind of makes them awesome) and I’m not really sure why we ever did a cover of the Beastie Boys’ Rhymin’ & Stealin’ but folks seemed to dig it at the time.

I think I remember this evening as a time when, after the bands had played, we watched an Andrew Dice Clay stand up thing on cable. Or maybe it was Damon Wayans…I can’t really remember. Anyway, here’s the recordings of three covers (Pretty Vacant, Banned in DC and Rhymin’ & Stealin’) and one original called End.

ALL AGES SHOW GET COOKIN’, FLIERS AND SHOW REVIEWS

In 1991, once we had secured a location to put on all ages shows, we got busy booking as many bands as we could. Initially focusing on the few local groups we actually knew, we started calling out of state bands to draw more folks into what we hoped would turn into some sort of, “scene”. I was handling most of the booking of these shows and my primary interest was the music scene in Washington DC. Thus, almost every show I could book had a band from DC on the bill. Because of it, not only did we have some really great shows, we got to see some really great bands.

I remember receiving a 7″ in the mail by a band that, at the time, was unknown here in Philadelphia. They were called Jawbox and had just released a 7″ on Dischord/DeSoto. I still remember getting that package in the mail and thinking how rad it was that bands were now sending records and tapes to try and get shows here in Philadelphia, and how rad it was that I was getting a first crack at a new band. The Jawbox 7″ sounded amazing and we booked them the first chance we got. I think we guaranteed them $150 to play the show. Amazing.

Because of booking Jawbox, I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Kim Coletta, their bass player. She was working at Dischord and was so into helping others get things going in their towns that she would always be willing to put up with me, a 17-year old kid asking her question after question about setting up shows, how to put out records, distribute records, etc. The patience she must have had.

Another thing to mention was that, of course, in 1991 there were no computers to do design work on. Show fliers were hand made, typically guerilla style cut outs that were photocopied over and over on High School photocopiers. Reproduced here lovingly are some original fliers from that Jawbox show. The one at the top of this post I made. The one below I believe was made by the kids in Dysrythmia. Notice the old school, fresh Philly graffiti style on the second one (and the misspelling of Dysrythmia. Sick.

In addition, I came across an old zine from here in Philly called, Icky. Sadly, I don’t remember much about it, but it was pretty sweet to flip thru again. Inside, there was a show review from this particular show at Dobbs. Sweet synchonicity.

MIDDLESEX COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Since I don’t play in bands regularly anymore, I’m not really sure about the availability of places to play shows. Meaning, I’m sure that it’s difficult to get shows anywhere, especially with the sheer volume of bands in the universe these days, but are there numerous places to play if you could or were allowed to play?

It seems like there are more these days. In Philadelphia alone, I can think of a whole slew of places where bands could put on a spectacle…all fully licensed with real sound systems and established methods of promotion.

Both these type of generic tadalafil india a male perform good during sexual experience.

In the healthy levitra cialis viagra people, if there is no food in the duodenum. order levitra ED can be an opportunity or indication to diagnose life-threatening comorbidities. When we were playing in The Random Children it pretty much seemed like there was no where to play. The few spots that did have shows were temporary at best and often, just held one off shows where someone found a spot where the owner didn’t really understand what they were getting themselves into. The Montserrat on South Street was one of these locations for example.

However, we did get lucky meeting a fella named Dave who went to school at Middlesex Community College. He booked shows there at the student center and would continue to invite us up to play when we were in Franklin. The shows were always fun and poorly attended. C’mon, it was a Community College in Middlesex, what would you expect?

Dave was a swell guy. Wonder where he is now.

Here’s another photo of The Random Children playing at JC Dobbs. Unfortunately, I’m not sure who was on the bill for this show. There don’t seem to be any notes with the photo.
