Dispatch 13: I Just Wanna Die from the band's debut output called "Rats ep" (MCL2001). The vid was shot by a friend of Jed's(roomate to Mark, old friend to our old friend Bernie) at the historic Al's Bar in DT Los Angeles, Ca. in 2001. (It really was a west coast punk mecca. It was awesome). The guys had a really nice digital camera and amongst alot of major league slackin' or as they called it "working on their screenplay," they decided to come along and film the gig. I edited it in 2015 from the only remaining copy available on VHS! Epic!
We also did a gig in Ventura Ca.(a Pills stronghold in the southland) for Cornboy at a cafe that did all ages shows punk shows. We we're a few minutes late getting to the venue which allowed time for Candy's Ma to get all hepped up on good coffee! ("That's heavy sh*t, man!") We sold ALL the remaining merch we had in a matter of moments aftr that gig. We pulled an all-niter and partied with some of Ventura's finest til morning aftr that one!! Memorable mini-tour.
