Things I forgot about pt1 – STARMY getting SLAMMY’d at the Zephyr

November 12, 2011

The title could actually mean many things, primarily that I still have this site floating around the interweb and should maybe post things or let it fade into oblivion.  During a recent move I decided to go thru some boxes of old miniDV tapes and I have a lot of them – not quite like the kid in American Beauty but close. The difference is instead of shots of floating plastic bags and the neighbor changing clothes (however, I did have a super cute neighbor a while back so that may have been a missed opportunity but that would have been a bit weird anywho I’m getting sidetracked…..)  I have a bunch of tapes of skate comps and local bands all shot in glorious 4×3 standard def.

One such tape is STARMY from the SLAMMY Awards at the Zephyr, the date stamp on it says Sept 2003 so going to go with that I do somewhat remember STARMY winning around then.  For those who don’t know, the Zephyr was one of the best places to see live bands in Salt Lake.  Morrisey kicked off a tour there and before they became self important jackasses, the Kings of Leon were a youngbuck opening band channeling the 70′s – bonus points for those who can name the band they opened for.   Sometime around 2004 it closed down to give the local rats and spiders a habitat with some much needed peace and quiet.

That’s my long winded story of, hey I found an old tape of STARMY at the Zephyr, here’s “Don’t look Back”

There’s a lot more random things I’m sure I’ll remember, hopefully I don’t forget to post them.

…oh yeah, one of them is JVC tapes suck
