Was there ever a more paradoxical band than the Minutemen?
Comprising Dennes D. Boon, Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley, all natives of working class seaport San Pedro. Forever jocular and unpretentious to a fault, the Minutemen were alt-rock's blue-collar, union heavies of the 80s underground while also profoundly avant garde.
This was the age of Reagan, ripe for tearing apart and kicking the crap out of, but rather than get lost in a verbal revolt and a street riot, the Minutemen made their own stand. They found their voice on their first full-length album, 1981's The Punch Line and with it, punctured the walls of San Francisco's legendary Mabuhay Gardens.
Live On Vinyl proudly presents the entire original KUSF-FM broadcast of the Minutemen live from Mabuhay Gardens on 26th October 1981.
Professionally re-mastered original FM broadcast with background liners, interviews and rare archival photos.
