Gary Floyd tribute 

Gary Floyd died on Tuesday in San Francisco. Floyd grew up in Palestine, Texas as a conscientious objector. I am going to try and give you a sense of the band’s Reagan-era politics in this set. Most aggressively upfront was Floyd himself, a fat, openly gay man who often wore drag while performing to Eighties Texas crowds. “Dicks Hate the Police,” has become one of the most covered songs in the punk scene. I could probably do a show on covers of this song. So in our tribute to Gary Floyd we are going to start there.

Show Review - Human Target / Nuclear Man (Winnipeg showcase)

Got to see the Nuclear Man show on Friday night. The No No Room is in the basement of Dock Ellis and is near the location of the infamous Faith/Void. The space is run by Brad Manners of School Damage and fits about 60 people capacity. Perfect for punk shows. Bee, the drummer, from Kleener organized the show. Nuclear Man went on first and they shouted out Winnipeg and Regina at the beginning of their set. They were able to get a crowd reaction right away. Kleener were next and they ripped through a set challenged by landing endings. But the bass and drums drove that sound and the singer was able to move into the audience in a way that stirred things up. Human Target featured some members of Nuclear Man and others making me think of Fuck bands but this was no Fuck Band. They played a crushing set. Tashme topped it off with some a bass sound that was part Lip Cream part Cro Mags part something else. The drummer was insanely good. This whole band was solid as you will hear in these recordings.
