‘Bag’ did this, so that probably makes Matt Anderson of Gravity records infamy responsible. S.A.I.D., and I don’t know the meaning of the acronym, were a band of younger guys who made horrible noise. Not unlike the sort of thing that the band Black Dice did early on. They wore suits - that was the conceptual part. At the predetermined climax, their drummer, Chris, would run through the crowd with his drums head high in front of him bonking, annoying and thinning the audience. Drive Like Jehu was me, John Reis, Mark Trombino and Mike Kennedy, and we were glad S.A.I.D played last. Plasticman was Chris Squire’s band I think. The Ché Café was and is a small hippie run “restaurant” (For the love of God don’t eat there) on the University of California’s San Diego campus. Every three years or so the University tries to shut it down, citing illegal alcohol consumption, loitering non-students, etc. Still there.
