Video with 2 notes
Angry Mortals @ Hong Kong Cafe; Los Angeles, CA; 10/21/79
“Probably the only piece you could call a song: The Get Sick List.”
Camera: Richard Meade; edited by Jeff Freeman & tweaked by John Shourt.
Guitars: Jeff Freeman, Scott Boyd (in shades); Drums & Grimaces: Wayzata; Keys, caterwauling & FX: John Shourt.
With interest in rock improvisation of last years or so we should note Angry Mortals improvised 95% on-stage: this song is sole exception: Shourt made up lyrics in a jam before playing here.
Mortals “dress code” was loosely related to mercenary gear: camo, Vietnam boots, Hawaiian shirts, 3-day stubble. Played later at Relic House, where owner gave me my favorite musical critique: “I’ve heard worse shit but I can’t remember when!”
