The Beatnigs - Effenaar, Eindhoven, The Netherlands - 16.12.1989 (Flac)

 

Very good FM capture. Thanks to FREDHEADSET for sharing.

Original Info File:

The Beatnigs was an early collaboration featuring Michael Franti and Rono Tse. The band's stage performance included the use of power tools such as a rotary saw on a metal bar to create industrial noise and pyrotechnics. One venue for the band was the infamous Barrington Hall. Franti at the time worked for Berkeley's Subway Guitars. Songs like "Television: The Drug of the Nation" were performed by the band and were later rerecorded for their next project, The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy.

This is the only Beatnigs Peel Session. The quality is ok - it is a second generation tape - and perfectly listenable to.

Surprisingly, it is less explosive than you might expect, but certainly worth listening to (in my opinion).

Regarding the personnel, this is a best guess from who plays on the show from Eindhoven a few weeks after this session (but I suspect not all the instruments are played)c.
