Brother... that's really cool to hear... I grew up going to Fang shows in SF & Alameda... & sadly never really appreciated Nirvana until recently, but knew they covered Fang, so I had a certain respect... the MIGHTY FANG... When all hardcore was speeding up, Sammy & Tom had the balls to slow it down & sludge it up... GROUNDBREAKING... & it found fertile ears & like minds in the PNW, where shit was dark & sludgy anyway... YEEHAW!

It was really hard to get shows to happen back then in Seattle. You couldn't really get a decent venue because of the laws against underage shows.

Holy shit. Nice catch.
This band & this song are what true punk rock was This music is smarter than it sounds it's called Satire & this is brilliant...
Saw this tour in Eugene, they played with 45 grave that night in a living room.
A friend from Malfunkshun told me they played this show as well. Apparently Fang came over to Bainbridge to stay the night. I'm remembering now that I was traveling through Europe in '84 so maybe that's why I had the misfortune of missing this show.
Scottie helping with the vocals RIP
The mark of a great song, I’m feeling nostalgic for when I had this on a demo doing all the instruments when I was 15 , and I was covering it off a mudhoney cover of it and then a band that opened for one of my bands covered it 10 years later. It’s a good song is all I’m saying

this Fang gig was at the Metropolis, the 2cnd time they played here was at the LAC. Tales of Terror played the Metropolis a coupe weeks before Fang did - great gig!

People don’t seem to understand how popular lsd was in the American underground in the 80’s and 90’s. Like almost all the artists were eating it as it was cheap and easy to get as was really good.
Fuck Yeah! I used to see Sammy driving around town in the Lower East Side on a Vespa Scooter. with FANG on the back of his leather jacket. I think I bought acid of him once at a Crucifix show.
Hells yeah this is an awesome vid. what a mpment in music history
Fang Rules!!!!
This is just so Beautiful
That was the best era for Fang. Tales of Terror basically started "grunge" here too (same month). Everyone in Seattle was blown away by Fang and Tales of Terror. I was there. Fun times. All just my opinion, btw...

Interesting bro. I caught Tales of Terror with Black Flag on the Slip it in tour, '85-86. At Fisherman's Inn in Baltimore MD. They had a 1/s pipe called the Chesapeake Ramp & Steve Caballero wowed us all with his Caball - airial. I thought T of T was Skate Punk, like JFA - DRI, & even Suicidal Tendancies, but you did say they "started" grunge. Hardcore started to have all these mini-genres - skatepunk, thrashpunk, hardcore, straight edge. It was all just punk to me though. Alternative, Goth, Grunge hadn't been invented or labelled yet. But what did we know, we were just kids back then. I agree that the early Fang was the most fun & talented.
wowww!!!
Great upload! Solid video from whomever filmed this.
Awesome brother thank for posting. Excuse my ignorance of your crew, but I'm just a Balti-moron. I caught them after Where the Wild Thing Are came out. Sammytown had a shaved head except a little patch in front with 5 or 6, 14 inch dreadlocks. A buzzcut & dreads, wildest puck haircut I've EVER seen. A great show by a really fun band. They gave me a sticker after the show. The skull with "We are cool give us $" on the skull, that puppy proudly went on the deck of my skate where it wouldn't wear off !!! I wish we'd recorded the shows, but we were a lil crazy. I don't think the video cam would've survived us miscreants !!
I think I remember going to the Raw Power show ~ from Italy Raw Power ? Joe lost many of his video tapes, sadly . . .
Nice work
Raw and cuts like steel...
Is that Steve Turner jumping at 2:13? Cool vid man so young in there h.

at least second show, we saw them at least a year before....upstairs at a sketchy venue in Seattle. Was there can confirm.
0:45 mark arm crowd surfing
We shared a practice space with them at Seattle Rehearsal Studios near gasworks park - at least I remember seeing the drummers drumset there though the place shut down shortly thereafter . . .
I saw them at The Packing House in Denver around this same time. Sammy seemed smarter then the average punk.
If there was a show at this place, there is about a 90% chance I was there. Probably I was there, but I was outside a lot...there was like a ton of ppl out front, also Pioneer Park is nearby. I hate to say it, but those were my very worst behaved years.
basically what punk should be
Oakland ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sammytown Cooper!
It looks like John Bigley from the U-men is in the crowd
It looks like Hugh Conrwell on the SG
Was this show at the Metropolis or Lincoln Arts Center? I remember seeing Fang at LAC about this same time, & recall Landrew hanging out with them backstage then. I think Mr. Epp had already broken up in 1983, & Mark formed Green River in 1984. Tales of Terror were too wasted to even play their instruments when they appeared at the Grey Door in circa 1984. It was the most ridiculous show I ever saw. I remember Mike O had Tales of Terror on the back of his leather jacket when I 1st met him.
Didn't the met close this year...it seems like it did earlier...but maybe not. I'm senile.
Nirvana sent me. Thanks.
The narrow window of American punk enabled a number of us to act out beyond the social norms of the time. It wasn't at all like the narrow minded "socialism" of today that requires anyone with an "alt" tag to behave in a certain manner.

What does the writing on Sammys trousers say
I got some info that might upset you Kurt fanbois. Krist noveselic used to go to the metropolis with the melvins crew, and Dave Grohl played the metropolis in the band Scream. But sadly no kurt. He's the only member of nirvana last lineup that never made it there... so give mark arm a little more credit! He did so much more than Kurt to develop the seattle scene... Kurt just blew the scene up and pretty much killed alternative music altogether when he burned out!

Cedi M It’s not as if the Seattle Sound would’ve never been taken to the levels it would’ve if Kurt didn’t start Nirvana and inspire countless other bands like Alice in Chains, SoundGarden, Pearl Jam and many others. And you mentioned how Krist and Dave played in other bands in the metropolis, but they were pretty small and no where near the level of Nirvana. Say all you want, Nirvana

Yea, about blowing the scene up, and pretty much killing alternative music - totally true. I wasn’t living in Seattle, but this culture was my job, and entire life at that time. When Nevermind came out, things changed, and not for the better. Suddenly, a very media savvy & money centric culture landed in alternative culture. But, what was much worse were the types of assholes that were suddenly there at the shows being dicks, and just all around changing the landscape. It definitely wasn’t our insular thing anymore.

@Bliss what are you talking about? Soundgarden was big way before Nirvana got its first "Paper Cut," ... Alice In Chains...part of a totally different scene until the metal & punk factions sort of started getting along, by being forced into playing shows together at Gorilla Gardens/Rock Theater. AIC got signed to Columbia while Nirvana was still on Sub Pop, and not many folks up here in Seattle thought they had much in common musically or otherwise. And Pearl Jam? Inspired by Nirvana? That's ridiculous. They were inspired by the possibility of becoming big rock stars by writing music that was well-suited for stadiums and commercial radio...and whaddaya know...it worked! Cedi M is right when he says Mark Arm (and Mudhoney) deserve a lot of credit for the success of the "Seattle Sound." They were Sub Pop's # 1 priority back in the day and the spotlight was squarely on them when the "Seattle Sound" broke through to the UK. Soundgarden gets equal credit, as they were the second band to be "signed" to Sub Pop, the first of the "G word" bands to be signed to a major label, and the first to go on the "big boy" tours. And, just for the record, no, I never saw Cobain at the Metropolis either.
