ON THIS DAY ... in 1984/85/92 - F1 Electric, SPECIMEN, Scrotum Clamp, JACOB'S MOUSE

80's posed, then Bull & Gate (156 photos)

The main thing here is the 89 photos of SPECIMEN taken in 1985, but the rest is interesting too.

Look at F1 ELECTRIC (again). How weird is it that such pioneers of multi-media work, in that they synced music with video displayed on various tv screens at gigs, have no online traces of existence whatsoever? It would be easier if I knew main man Oscar’s surname. Anyone know?

SPECIMEN posed on February 19th, 1985 (89 photos)

SCROTUM CLAMP at the Bull & Gate, February 19th, 1992 (15 photos). Still going strong today » SC FACEBOOK SC BANDCAMP

JACOB’S MOUSE at the Bull & Gate, February 19th, 1992 (37 photos). Very unusual band for the early to mid nineties in that they were a modern rock trio, with no metal overlap. I never had any of their records but they were brilliant live and everybody loved them, even though they were probably as far removed from what you normally listened to as possible.
