I'm going through my stash of Rustic-related files and have uncovered a few things to upload in the next few days. The first of which I've sorted out, is what appears to be the debut of Paranoid Social Club. I'm not sure where I got it, to be honest, so I'm trying to piece together the details.

Before we get into that, here's your link so you can get that download started now! ParanoidSocialClub-FirstShow.zip

Originally, it was a single mp3 file, PSC_live_jun5.mp3 which obviously leads us to believe that the date of the show was June 5th, 2002. Listening to the recording, they state it is their first performance, and also we learn that they are opening for 2 Skinnee J's. That's what we'll go with, but if you have any knowledge as to the date, the venue, and so forth; or can confirm this as correct, by all means please do so!

While I've split it into separate tracks, all credit goes to the original taper. The order of the set is as follows:

1. Save Me
2. Can't Buy Me Love
3. In My Headphones
4. Theme Song
5. Soul Demolition
6. She Gets Me High
7. Everybody Run (Ricochet)
8. Last Cigarette
9. Evolution
10. Rocksinger
11. The Big Picture
12. Wasted

As promised, the New Year's Eve Bash was recorded. The quality isn't the best, unfortunately, due to input levels, but it's better than nothing, and there's some great moments in each set that are worth checking out, absolutely. The setlist is up (yes, finally) with notes from the message board by Darek.

Here's links to the recordings, I sliced up the three sets posted on the board into tracks, and zipped them by set: As Fast As, Paranoid Social Club, Rustic Overtones

Here is a video of Dig, recorded at the New Year's Eve show at Northern Lights. Thanks to Cherry from the board for grabbing this and sharing it with us!

Three sets of pictures are now online from last night's New Year's Eve Bash at Northern Lights, presented by WEQX. I sorted them into separate galleries for each band, instead of one gigantic one.

As Fast As kicked things off, followed by Paranoid Social Club. Everyone took the stage to countdown to midnight, and then Rustic Overtones began their set. The entire show was recorded, but it might not have come out that well. Check back for that in the coming days.
