Ogden Theater Denver, CO

Friday, December 15th, 1995

Bands performed:

Sublime, with Guttermouth and Skankin' Pickle, Friday, December 15, at the Ogden Theatre, created a small cult masterpiece in 1992--the album 40 Oz. to Freedom. Since then, these Southern Californians have continued to produce an u nusual blend of lo-fi, thrash-infused ska and dub tunes. As the recent Robbin' the Hood demonstrates, Sublime is earning a loyal following in much the same way the Beastie Boys did. Moreover, their combination of frat-party sounds and hip-hop-meets-alternative attitude appeals to the growing legion of heavily pierced, baggy-pants-wearing surf/skate fanatics being targeted by this event, designated the Sno-Core Tour. So down your brew, park your board outside and get ready for an evening of the most entertaining garage-dub being made today.

Yeah lol the Denver show and met them and all the bands or at least skankin pickle invited us to crested butte the next day. 10th grade I think... guess I was just born wild wait that’s not the right world... born with balls or one of my bosses told me one time I had hootchba? Lol I don’t speak Yiddish lol. I was super shy in highschool and didn’t have many friends but my big brother took my little brother and and I and my friend to a sublime etc. Show in Denver, then after the show my friend and I looked at each other and said let’s make a run for it so we jumped on stage and ran back stage... made friends with guttermouth and skankin pickle then ended up with everyone in the alley in sublimes RV... I said I think I need to find my brother and Bradley said I’ll be your brother... then my brothers found me then skankin pickle put us on the list for the next night in crested butte... so we went but honestly I have no memory of anything about the show except taking some photos and the b&w one of Brad after the show... ever since then I’ve been a master networker and navigated my way though the music industry in LA and especially respected because I was a good photographer for m age (lol early mid late 20s) and also because I didn’t sleep with musicians... long friendship credit comes from that!
