Evergreen at Macondo

Bikini Kill at Macondo
April 25, 1993

Being that this week's blogging was heavily reliant on back-in-the-day 90s hardcore reminiscing, I'm posting some footage of live shennanigans at Macondo that I found on on the YouTubes.

Strife at Macondo, ca. 1994

These flyers are from some of the hardcore shows that took place at Macondo in 1994. (I think I may be missing a few. I'll update this post if I find 'em.)

Process | Outright | Change for the Better | Center Point
(Two-up flyer not by me. I dig the 'P' for Process.)

July 22, 1994
Slant 6 | Undertow | Unbroken | Clikatat Ikatowi

+
July 10, 1994

December 30, 1994
Farside | Triggerman | Casperspook | Malfunction
(Rounding out 1994 with a banger, and an appropriate Cure quote to boot: Friday I'm in love with you.)
