While I will be unable to make it to the show (boooooooooo!), YOU should go! If you aren’t in the Bay Area, you can still catch them on their West Coast tour through November 15.

I have to say: BEYOND thanks to Abe Miner for sending me a shitload of amazing, incredibly rare queercore and riot grrrl 7″s to digitize and share with you. Now, you’ll have to bear with me–I’m still figuring out this recording from vinyl to typey-box thing and the quality on this isn’t perfect. If I can figure out how to better rip this stuff in the future, I’ll definitely be reposting here. Also, once I get easy access to a scanner, I’ll put up the artwork and stuff, too. Keep an eye out!

The Go Team
Donna Parker Pop (1988)

Hat tip Larry-bob & the E6 Townhall Forum!

The Go Team was an influential late ’80′s band from Olympia, WA featuring Calvin Johnson, Tobi Vail, and a rotating cast of guest musicians (which included Kurt Cobain, Donna Dresch, and Bikini Kill’s Billy Karren). Their sound can be likened to that of Beat Happening or heaps of other K Recs/”love rock” bands, but it’s also so much more than that. I’ll leave it to you to download and find out more about their sound.

If you want to learn more about the history of the band, I suggest you check out Mike Applestein’s excellent write-up from Writer’s Block #6, or read the little bit that’s been documented on The Wikipedia. They both do a bit more justice to the band than I’m doing here.

Grunnen Rocks also has a pretty good discography up. Oh & Punk Tour Blog has write-ups from The Go Team’s ’87 and ’89 tours.

They released 9 singles throughout 1989, which have been collected here by a kind soul over at the E6 boards.
