VIDEO: NOISE CARNIVAL LIVE AT THE WALDO BAR - PART 1


This is the original line up of Noise Carnival performing live at the Waldo Bar in Kansas City, Missouri sometime in early 2000.

I have a warning in the opening of the video because the screen flips and skips and all that throughout the whole video. While this might not bother some, it could drive others a bit crazy.

There are some issues with the audio in parts of this video as well, especially the first part of the opening song, but, it was recorded originally on a camcorder from the early 90s.

Frankly, I'm not sure why I put it up except that it's the only copy we have.

Anyway, I remember that we weren't allowed to be too loud. I don't know if there was a noise ordinance in the area or not, but there are times where you can hear someone off camera telling us to turn down slightly and all that. I think the proprietor had a decibel meter or something.

This is Part One because we played for about 20 minutes, took a break, then came back and played for 20 or so more.

VIDEO: LARRY LIVE AT THE DAILY GRIND IN 1996


Here is the last show I played with Larry.

It was sometime in 1996 at The Daily Grind in KCMO, and the only thing I can remember from this show is Karl from Danger Bob telling me that he was gonna hate me forever for leaving the band.

Or maybe it was just that he thought it sucked.

Or maybe he just gave me general words of encouragement.

Or maybe he just said “hey” in passing.

I honestly have no memories that I’m confident are real of this night, though I’m pretty sure I talked to Karl at one point.

VIDEO: LARRY LIVE AT THE RHUMBA BOX IN 1994


This is the first show we played in the band, Larry.

March 4, 1994 at the Rhumba Box, an all ages club in Kansas City, Missouri that's no longer around.

I don't remember much from this show, but watching the video now gives me total high school gymnasium vibes. 

Plus, what were we thinking when it came to camera placement? I mean, there's a freaking pole in front of the left hand side of the stage which hides both Jon (the bass player), and myself, for much of the show.
