Bringing It All Back Home Part 4: Club Pompeii

Club Pompeii was an all ages club in Spokane which, like all all-ages places in Spokane, lasted about 5 minutes. I was at this very show. Somewhere in that crowd I am wearing a periwinkle cardigan and pogo-ing about. NoMeansNo came and played in Spokane so many times I've lost count and Hanson Bros came through as well, but only this one time I knew about at the time. Totally, totally fun high school memory.

fucking fuck you, you fucking fucks.


and the fucking horse you rode the fuck in on.
pricks.

Bringing It All Back Home Part 2: Waterman's Hollow

Not sure what to say about this. Either you were in Spokane in the early nineties and thought this band was really cool, or you weren't and didn't. Kind of like... Toad the Wet Sprocket meets the Decemberists. A Spokane original.
