John Cale would have been sweet….
Tommy Keene was a local fixture in those days I guess….
Didn’t realize Joe’s Record Paradise promoted shows inmates 930…
Jah Wobble!

I heard the closed for thanksgiving set was off the hook, people are still talking (turkey) about it

I heard good things about Rapideyemovement. What ever happened with them?
Just realized the irony of the above given the ruckus my initialism caused elsewhere.

The way I remember it there were two REM’s that played the old 930 and pistols at dawn determined who kept the coveted name. The rest is history: the winner conquered the world while the loser slunk home in shame never to be heard from again and having to endure REM songs for eternity.

The 9:30 Book covers this showdown of the REMs. It was very obvious to the other REM that they would have to change their name as soon as Mike Stipe and friends took the stage. I think it was Mike Mills who ended up suggesting the new name for the losing REM. Can't think of the name off the top of my head.

Egoslavia
so I guess they never got recognized by the EU
They were a dc band

A club owner thought it would be a good promotion to have both bands play together in a battle-of-the-bands, with the winner getting to not only keep the name they both shared, but also rename the loser. Egoslavia went on first and played what was, by all accounts, a pretty solid set. Then the Georgians hit the stage, and the rest is history.

Great history. Pretty sure I had the Egoslavia record at some point, purchased at the College Park RTX.
