#71 | Sergio Elizondo (Corpus Christi Riffs)

[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's going on, y'all? Corpus Christi Originals, back at it again. Coming to you live from the Produce Stream Lab Studio here downtown Corpus Christi, Texas, at the Produce Sound Studios. Dusty's spot. Appreciate you guys for joining. Yeah. So today we have a Sergio Elizondo of "Corpus Christi riffs - A history of the scene" is here to talk about his stuff here that he's got here. So excited to have this. Have this conversation. So how's it going, Sergio? [00:00:25] Speaker B: Oh, it's going good, man. I'm excited to see, like, what you have in store for me, and, like, just to show off what I've been getting, like, over these past months. It's only been, like, like, six months. I started this project, and I was like, I can't believe, like, corpus has, like, this much stuff, but it does. But, like, it needs to be known. So I decided, like, let me do it. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Wow. So you started six months collecting all the stuff? [00:00:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Originally, I just, like, I was, like, genuinely curious because, like, I have family from alice somewhere. They always told me, like, hey, man, back in 95 or whatever, when you were born, we. We went to, like, a place called Gianland and stuff, and, like, we brought. We went to Marilyn Manson. We saw, like, toadies and, like, pantera and stuff. And I was like. I was always like, what? In corpus? Like, there's no way. It's no way. It's probably lying. You're making up probably for you. San Antonio. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:12] Speaker B: So, like, I always do in the back of my head, just, I didn't. I just got curious and just asked around. And while just asking around, I found, like, people who, like, had these posters and stuff, and I was like, let me just do a project just like, so people can see it. [00:01:25] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:01:26] Speaker B: And, like, all these posters and, like. [00:01:28] Speaker A: Yeah, you were showing me some of these posters, and I was like, man, they were here. Yeah. Green day. Who were you showing me? You want to show some of that? Look at that. Look at that poster right there. Green day. [00:01:39] Speaker B: Green day. [00:01:41] Speaker A: All these people were here. Boys to men. [00:01:44] Speaker B: Mega death, Megadeth, third eye blind. [00:01:48] Speaker A: Third eye. Wow. [00:01:50] Speaker B: He goes on, look. [00:01:52] Speaker A: Yeah, and. And this was at the Texas sky festival. You guys, if you remember Texas sky, put a comment. Yeah, you remember it? That's awesome. And I remember it was Johnnyland. Yeah, at one point. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Yeah, it was. [00:02:03] Speaker A: And then it turned into Texas sky after that. [00:02:06] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Originally, everyone probably knows Johnny Canales, you know, rest in peace. [00:02:10] Speaker A: Yes. [00:02:11] Speaker B: But Johnny Canales was, like, a famous, famous, like, the hotel promoter. He did, like, local gigs, travel around the country and stuff. But he had the tv show that, the Johnny Canales show and stuff like that. So, like, johnny Canales one is, like, wanted to make, like, a big venue because he had his, like, he wanted to show there and, like, had, like, a big. The Hano country venue. [00:02:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:28] Speaker B: So he partnered up with this famous biggest defense attorney. He was like a hispanic civil rights defense attorney, I think. I'm not exactly. Don't call me on that. His name was Albert Weta, and him and Albert Weta basically made Jonny land this. I know there's, like, some footage of the grand opening out there, but it's only available through, like, the town we cc library. [00:02:50] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:02:50] Speaker B: So I know some stuff exists, some giant lab, but nothing really. That's kind of what got me curious about this, like, asking more, like, for the posters and stuff. [00:02:58] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So how did you. How did you come across those posters? Did you, did somebody donate them or. [00:03:03] Speaker B: So originally, um, I've been looking around, like, just posters because I know, like, some people, like, have. Taking, like, pictures from their collection. So I thought that, cuz, like, I don't know why or how. Like, just, like, just take the posters. Because when I. When I was young, I would just put my posters, like, just on the wall and stuff and, like, just. [00:03:20] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:03:21] Speaker B: But some people just, like, kept them safe. So I saw this. This listing on Facebook marketplace. Like, hey, I have all these posters. I'm Texas sky, $4 apiece. But, like, the listing was, like, almost like, like two or three years ago. So, like, 20, like, 2001, 2002, like, around those time and stuff like that. And I was like, I asked the guy, like, hey, man, do you still. I'm pretty sure you don't have these anymore, but do you have any pictures? So I have, like, a page or whatever. So I can, like, just, like, put a picture and post it so people can see it and I can preserve it and stuff. He's like, dude, I saw what you did at the gallery. [00:03:54] Speaker A: Wow. [00:03:54] Speaker B: And it was like, you can have these for free, man. And I was like, go for. And I was like, dude. And then he donated, like, a lot of stuff. I'm gonna show you later. All ticket stubs and posters. [00:04:03] Speaker A: That's cool. So you had, so you had a. You had a. Oh, first of all, David Pinon, Sergio. What's up, my homie and Joaquin Rangel. A big surge the house. [00:04:12] Speaker B: That's me. [00:04:13] Speaker A: That's what's dude. And you're from Alice, Texas. [00:04:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:17] Speaker A: This dude. This is so fascinating to me, because we've had some Alice boys on here, or Matt's from San Diego, Mac, on to San Diego, Texas. And then we had Marco C? Liao from Il Nino. Shattered sun. Yeah, also from Alice. And then I was at the shattered sun, so. A few days ago. [00:04:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:33] Speaker A: And, oh, my gosh, Alice boys are. Man, y'all are killing it out here, bro. [00:04:38] Speaker B: Yeah. No, no. So the shattered sun show me and Joaquin, whose poses right there. We put it up because of the bring awareness and raise funds for a nonprofit. Walking into inclusion and stuff. But he, like, he basically does the whole thing. Like, he runs it, but I help out on the vice president. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Awesome. [00:04:56] Speaker B: But we reached out to shattered son, and, like, Marcus Liao was, like, a. I knew him. I saw him, like, performing like a. Like a freshman locked in and stuff. And, like, I don't think it was shattered son. I think was, like, one of his, like. Like, smaller projects, but it was Marcus. But, like, those, like, the first, like, heavy show I saw in high school. This is really happening in our school. It was interesting, but I was like, that show was crazy. Like, he could probably tell you better, but, like, it's very memorable. I'll put it at that. [00:05:29] Speaker A: Is that your intro into hard music, or. [00:05:31] Speaker B: No, no. Always knew about hard music. Something like that. But I always knew a shattered sun through, like, just, like, the woodwork and, like, they're always, like, play and just, like, they would just, like, you know, travel around, and I was like. Yeah, I was admired that. Like, I didn't, like, see them, but I knew of them and stuff. I think I heard, like, one track on MySpace or just, like, a track, but. [00:05:49] Speaker A: Yeah. And we were talking earlier about the VFW, bro. I played there a few times. [00:05:53] Speaker B: Yeah, the VF. Yeah. So the VFW had, like, calling a lot of, like, concerts, like, actually zz top play there. Like, I think 72. Yeah, zz top. And, like. Yeah. Like, for me, I had, like, some cousins party and, like, different stuff there. Even had my, like, high school prom there, but, like, it had, like, some, like, music, like, musical history that places like that. So I knew about that just, like, I lived it and stuff. But, like, I know, like, corpus had, like, a big, big thing about, like, you know, just, like, having so much, like, music besides, like, the hano and stuff, which is, like, the Honda. It's our. It's our culture. It's our roots, but we respect that. But I think that we should, like, take the time talking about other genres of music and other stuff. Like. [00:06:34] Speaker A: Yes. [00:06:34] Speaker B: Like, there's a green day show that been at your via W and Corpus and 93. But like that, you wouldn't even know that unless like you're in the know. You just kind of like this. Yes, you just know the right people and stuff. But like Corbus is a big, like, you know, scene I'm still trying to learn about. I'm learning new things every day. [00:07:03] Speaker A: Do we know why there's always crazy shows at VFW's? [00:07:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I think. I think I can answer that. Sometimes VFWs are your cheapest option as a band. Just like you have to tell them what kind of band you are. It's like we're just a musical group, man. We're just gonna, you know, play in front of people. It could be like a country band, the honor band, but most time such hard rock fools. It's like. Exactly. A lot of hardcore shows, but like. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Like they actually let you. It's like one of the places they let y'all play. Is that what you say? [00:07:30] Speaker B: Or you can. If you meet like anything, you pay money. Like, you pay a fee. So it's a hall and like, you book a hall and smart that you like back in the. If I was here, like, get your money together. It was like more viable to like book a haul show than like, it was like just doing your backyard sometimes, you know, and we'll get more people interested and like, back then, corpus set up in the eighties had a strong, strong like metal and hardcore and punk scene and stuff. And like they're going to these big, big hall shows sort of made sense. So people just to book like VFW shows. Yeah. So that's why VFWs are like the best options for like bands sometimes. [00:08:05] Speaker A: That's amazing. That's. That's pretty cool. That's interesting to know. Yeah, because the places, I mean that, like the VFW at Alice was the one that I had. I had a VFW. Other than that, it was like we play at zeros. [00:08:15] Speaker B: Oh, zeros. [00:08:16] Speaker A: The underground. There was. I think the underground was the zone or something. Yeah, I think. [00:08:20] Speaker B: I'm not sure, but I remember the. [00:08:22] Speaker A: On Agnes, an old warehouse. We. We played there a couple times. Yeah, but. And then like even these flyers that you have that you're putting on cc riffs on the Facebook page, I don't know if you put in them or, or people are putting them, but there's places like on Alameda and these different places. I'm like, this existed, you know, do. [00:08:40] Speaker B: Exactly. It's a crap ton of stuff that, like, it's like, um. For me, it's like, I just look around Facebook. I just, like, go to people's, like, um, Facebook page. Asked him, like, hey, dude, you posted this. Do you mind if, like, you know, I just, like, borrow it so it's public. So I, you know, if you're cool with this, like, yeah, sure, go ahead. So, like, a lot of these posters, they're either, like, I got online, or I just found it, like, you know, in person or on eBay and stuff. Like, for example, I got this walkie metal fest. [00:09:12] Speaker A: Wow. [00:09:13] Speaker B: I got this on eBay for, like, $10. But the reason I got this, this flyer I'm taking as a new saber flyer, it has the band. Has the band's sufferings. [00:09:24] Speaker A: Wow. [00:09:24] Speaker B: Sufferings. Like, it says, like, from using Texas third eye from Corpus Christi, Texas. Sufference. [00:09:32] Speaker A: Sufference, yes, yes. Just like. Like, lift. Like, kind of lift it and go like this. Yeah. Sufferance. I remember that name. Wow. Guar. Is that guarantee? [00:09:42] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Are you serious? Hold on. Let me. Let me show you to you. Let's go. This. [00:09:46] Speaker A: Yo, metal mania X. 10th annual Milwaukee Metal fest, dude. Oh, my God. Misfits. Anthrax. Cannibal corpse. Carnivore. Malvolin creation. Morbid symphony. Gore clutch, bro. [00:10:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Year was this, do I think? 19? 96. [00:10:06] Speaker A: 96. [00:10:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, I know. Um. [00:10:09] Speaker A: Wow. [00:10:09] Speaker B: Amazing. Had a few members from, like, the local scene who, like, who still play to this day and stuff, and, like, they play, like, different shows, but they're much older now, but, like, they still, like, perform music. I know Alex Dominguez from the band annihilator. [00:10:24] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:10:24] Speaker B: They're really, really, like, big, like, influential Scorpus group. Like, you know, from the, like, the think the metal scene. I would say. I wouldn't know the exact genre of the right words, but, like, they're from the metal scene. Yeah, they tour a lot. Some members from annihilator went to sufferance and, like, just. [00:10:39] Speaker A: Wow. [00:10:40] Speaker B: I only know the name, but, like, I can still find them. Like, their posters and merch sometimes. Like, unlike Internet pages, some, like that. Like, people, like, I had this sufferance poster, like, 80. Like, from, like, 1996 still. It was, like, in my collection. I was like, dude, let me just take that post on the. On the Corpus Christi ribs Facebook group. [00:10:58] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:10:59] Speaker B: And sometimes I get crazy stuff, like, I was at that show, or, like, just. I was in that band and just. Yeah, you never know what you don't know. [00:11:06] Speaker A: Why did you decide? Why did you decide to do this, like, just to document it. I mean, how come? What did you decide? [00:11:13] Speaker B: I mean, originally, I really wanted to make a documentary or project about the dry land, so that's why I have, like, all these posters and stuff. But, like, I kind of, like, let me look up Johnny land. I know Pantera play there. [00:11:25] Speaker A: Yes. [00:11:26] Speaker B: I know Toady's play there and something like that. I know that for a fact, but I don't really know that much about it. So I asked around. [00:11:31] Speaker A: I was like, you know, lollapalooza was actually. [00:11:34] Speaker B: Yeah. So my uncle. Some families were there, and I told lollapalooza, and I was like, there's no way that happened in corpus. Like, no way. I know that till, like, like, years ago and stuff. And just like, wow. And that's how it's all originally got me interested in this music collecting thing, because, like, the band of sufferance, you know. [00:11:53] Speaker A: You know, I actually got introduced to corn at Johnny Ann or Texas Sky. I think they were opening for Megadeth at one. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:12:02] Speaker A: Yes. And that's how I got introduced to the band corn. [00:12:05] Speaker B: Wow. [00:12:06] Speaker A: I seen him playing. I was like, oh, these dudes are sick. And then, like, next day, I go get the cd or the album. What was it? I think I can. I think. Was it the title that versus. Yeah, yeah, that one. But, yeah, I remember seeing Pantera out there, too, dude. Oh, my gosh. Seeing dime actually play, like, on the right hand side. You're looking at the stages on a right hand. Was literally right there in front duty, looking at the dude, just. Man, it was so crazy. [00:12:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I so, like, just hanging around stuff like that. Like, I. One time was, like, the record store day, the hard records, like, my year a year ago or something like that. I was talking this dude about, like, pantera. Like, bro, I remember when he came to Corpus, I remember some guy punched him one in the pit, dude. You know, like, he was like, I think it was like, phil or. Don't say that was a badass shot. Do it again. [00:12:52] Speaker A: Dude, they went to Craig's record factory and were signing. [00:12:56] Speaker B: Really? [00:12:56] Speaker A: Yes. I got, like, two sign posters from. From them at Craigs record factory. [00:13:01] Speaker B: You got a post on the Facebook group, man. You got, like, just. [00:13:04] Speaker A: I don't have them anymore. I wish I would. That's the thing. [00:13:07] Speaker B: Worse. [00:13:08] Speaker A: That's the thing. I'm like, dude, how do people just keep them and not, you know, just get rid of them or whatever? [00:13:13] Speaker B: It's like, the. Worth a lot of money that can, like, when you're in a bind. It's like, I mean, these are things like, like money quick. Well, say later on, like, comfortable in life. You're like, you know, good sponsor, dude. I should have not sold that, like, a lot of, like, story so many times. Like, I got rid of my original posters. I was like, I think, like, a lot of these things, like, they're meant to, like, just be put, like, on a wall or, like, just on a gas station. Promote. [00:13:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:37] Speaker B: But I feel like they're, like historical artifacts. It's so rare and stuff. They made like a, like, just cardboard and paper and stuff. And, like, they're very fragile, so, like, they need, like, to be, like, you know, taken care of sometimes. It won't make do that. [00:13:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:50] Speaker B: So when I see them in person, I was like, oh, my God. Can't believe surprise this long. But they did. [00:13:56] Speaker A: Wow, that's amazing, bro. That's pretty cool that. Did you take an interest to that? [00:14:00] Speaker B: Because, you know, it was a personal project. I was like, let me look up, like, these badge play a giant land and stuff. And I was like, the first man I introduced to play at giant. They're a local, like, rockabilly favorite from, like, the nineties when that was big. Matt hole in the hot rock gang. Yeah. You might know of them and stuff, but they open up for, like, um, credence and cree. What? Clearwater revisited. I don't think it was, like, rich. It was like, no. Like, um. Yeah, no, that. That was like the. It was a name. They, like, revisited was like the new name they make. It wasn't all the original members and stuff. I thought that same thing, too, but, like, oh, one of the guys, like, actually it's revisited and it's like, not pretty sure it's arrival, like. But no, it was revisited because, like, they changed the name because original members. [00:14:44] Speaker A: Oh, no kidding. [00:14:46] Speaker B: I thought same thing, too. And I was like, buzzes asking around and stuff like that. But I found Matt hole, like, went to a lot of shows there, just performed there. But he performed the most infamous show at Texas guy. I'm pretty sure a lot of, like, your, your local fans would know this show them the butthole surfers and Toady's Revin Horton Heat show. [00:15:06] Speaker A: Wow. [00:15:07] Speaker B: I don't know if you remember that show. Basically the Toady's played there. Evan Horn, he. But the South Texas punk rock art group, butthole surfers, probably known for the pepper song and stuff like that one song, like, they played Corpus Christi. It's. But, like, they played a few songs and I don't know how they saw in the audience. Got pissed and like, they're good. Big wristwatch and like, hit the guys, like, straight in the eye. [00:15:35] Speaker A: The toadies, they still. They still come to Corpus, dude. [00:15:38] Speaker B: Do. Yeah, I saw a show with them. I saw that show with them like at the. The Brewster street and like, the Tony, like, are always here. [00:15:44] Speaker A: They're always. They always come, dude, like celtic for. [00:15:47] Speaker B: Like, the longest time when I was a kid. And I was like, I assume that their corpus band always play here. [00:15:51] Speaker A: Dude, you're bringing back memories, man. Because I grew up kind of in the nineties and I know these bands that you're talking about. Yeah, it's amazing. I'm like, what? And you're, you're like almost half of. Half of my age. And I'm like, dude, how are you taking interest in this? You know, it's so. It's fascinating to me that. That you're doing what you're doing, you know, and you and I, you were saying that there's like, earlier we were talking, you're like, oh, yeah, there's a market for, like, for like, people interested in this stuff. And I said, market like what? You can sell stuff? You're like, no, this is just for the community. [00:16:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it's for fun, you know, project. Yeah, I know. It's like, it's like. Because I think, like, you know, like nostalgia, like, nostalgic stuff is like, it's always the man and stuff like that. Because like, we get older, like, you know, we want stuff for my past and stuff like that. But like, there's all to be sold and stuffed up to us sometimes can be like some guy posts a picture, like, oh, here's a picture of sunrise when he was still at like, yeah, it's like, it's free and stuff like that. And like, personally, I enjoy, like, just showing this stuff to, like, people who are there. Or like, even bands like to like the sufferings guys, like the old stuff they haven't seen in years because like, they've been traveling. They move. But like, they had this at one point. Yeah, I liked. I liked showing this to, like, their bad stuff. [00:17:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Four, four eight. Dh. DCHC on YouTube. Says you Sergio's uncles had a hard rock band in the nineties. [00:17:09] Speaker B: Yeah, it's my dad. [00:17:11] Speaker A: Hey, nice, man. Subdued and then David Pinon. Yeah, he says he saw the toady's and Roosters. [00:17:16] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Devin was like, um, he's a friend of mine. Hybrid records and stuff. He actually. [00:17:21] Speaker A: Oh, hybrid records. [00:17:22] Speaker B: Nice. His, I think his family thinks Victoria are some, some taller talent in there. He was someone like how his uncles whether like travel there to corpus of drying land. So I, I knew that, okay, people went there. If they don't have clutch went there and a Halloween show. What the, no way. Then like he's like, yeah, my uncles went there like, dude, that's crazy. So I knew of these shows, but like there was like when I first started this kind of like project and stuff, I was like, I can't find like crap. I can't find anything. I found like some like postings, like the set list, I guess, but nothing like no posters. Like just like couldn't find anything. So I did my own research. Somewhere at that bench I found posters, which is cool and stuff. But like I found um, like stuff because I made a, I made an art gallery here and downtown corpus on people's street produce barcode. I split a lot of the poster. Had it from like just asking around. It's like my own personal stuff. Yeah, like just the corpus memorabilia. And I was like, let me just put it up. And, and like I asked around, I asked like Tony Gomez. I'm like, kilimora and integrity and like war cult fame and stuff. I asked them, like, I asked him one of like the rock and roll flea markets there, the house of rock. Like, hey, I listen to your other stuff, but um, I don't, I don't, haven't talked before, but like, do you still have your tapes or posters to your old man? He's like, yeah, man, I do. And I was like, oh, do you mind if I see him? Was like, yeah. And like, I think people kind of get sidetracked, you know, like just like, I like, you know, like hit by truck by that question. So like, oh, someone's interested in this. Like, let me show my stuff. Yeah, eventually he did. And I got my first vhs tape that I digitized. I put on my YouTube channel. [00:18:59] Speaker A: Wow. [00:18:59] Speaker B: Some of the venue here in EJ's and stuff. So I put that in the gallery. So I met him, met a lot of people. But most importantly, I want to bring up like, you know, this gallery. Cause met up a guy named Jimmy Smithwick. Jimmy Switwick from the band the Ridley Rodden's. And he's from a band called Dead Man's hand, like the late eighties, early nineties. But he wanted donate stuff from his collection. Like he has like bit totes and like his posters, whatever. [00:19:24] Speaker A: Wow. [00:19:25] Speaker B: So he was, I was seeing stuff and I found like original clutch. Like a drawing land poster. But it was like, kind of, like, it was, like, torn in half or whatever, but it was autographed by them. [00:19:38] Speaker A: Wow. [00:19:39] Speaker B: But it was like a Halloween show, and there's got pumpkin in the background. You can kind of make the silhouette of it. Yeah, but, like, a lot of these, like, donors who, like, just donated to the gallery just. I saw I was exposed to, like, a lot of, like, stuff. I would probably never be exposed. And because of that, that's how I made the Facebook page and the Instagram page on YouTube page. [00:19:58] Speaker A: Wow. [00:19:58] Speaker B: All the connect connections I made and stuff, and I expose it to the community and just like, I don't, like, think I did it, but I think I was kind of, like the catalyst. Like, hey, I want you to do this, but, like, no one's kind of just did it, but, like, I feel like this is kind of cool. This is neat. This is a market. Yeah, yeah, no, let me do it. That's what I did. [00:20:16] Speaker A: And so. And so you had it at a gallery. Your posters and stuff like that. So how come you decided to actually display you, I guess for the community, right? [00:20:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:27] Speaker A: The entrance into. Before starting the pages. [00:20:30] Speaker B: Yes. Actually, Carlos Cooper from higher records probably know him, but he brought it to my attention. Like, hey, man, I have this access to a gallery space and this place right next to us, and I have a friend who works, like, a museum there, rockport or whatever. But I know you're doing this whole research thing, whatever, just on your own, a militia, but can you help me out? And I was like, sure. So I got in contact with my contacts, my guys, and, like, hey, I got posters I would, like, display, and, like, I'll put in protection, like, you know, like little plastic wraps and stuff, and I'll, like, display on the wall with little magnets so it's not like, thumbtacked on, so, like, there's no marks on it, but it's free. Public can see you get recognition. We have a party and stuff. And it did that. It's like, we rich ninja Lee started for two weeks. Eventually we started for like four weeks for, like, the guy when the owners or the. I forget his name, I think was Carlos, too. But, like, he. He was like, hey, we should put this up to art walk so a lot of people can see it. [00:21:34] Speaker A: Cool. [00:21:34] Speaker B: And, like, a lot of people saw it, but, like, I've been hearing the woodworks and stuff. Like, hey, I really enjoyed this show, man. It really brought so many good memories and stole and, like, just. I never knew this. And, like, I lived here all my life. You're like, it's here. Like, it's proof. And, like, cuz, like, you know, scenes. Believing. Right. You see it, like, okay, this is real. I see it, but, like, I. And you'll only hear about it. He was like, this guy's messing with me. Like this? No, like, it's like, probably, like, misremembering stuff, but, like, lots of stuff did happen. There's, like, this evidence, you know? [00:22:04] Speaker A: Mm hmm. Yeah. You were showing me some pictures of kiss, bro. [00:22:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:08] Speaker A: At the coliseum. [00:22:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:10] Speaker A: What was that, like, the seventies or the. Oh, my God, that's so here. Yeah, kind of tilt it. [00:22:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:14] Speaker A: So there you go. Look at that dude. Kiss at the Coliseum in Corpus Christi, Texas. [00:22:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Um, someone donates this to me, um, the guy who gave me the posters. Like. But, like, you, like. Yeah, man. You use this for gallery if you want to, but I make sure the credit. My name's, like, John or Joe Smith, that Joe Roman or something like that. Or John Roman. But, um, he gave me a lot of the stuff, a lot of ticket stubs. And, like, one thing, I want to show it near the end, but, um, he's like, here's the stuff. Yeah, you can use it. But I. I don't know how these people, like, these brought these, like, cameras to, like, the. Yeah, the coliseum? [00:22:51] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Like, film. Actual film? [00:22:53] Speaker B: Yes. I don't think mini ones. And it's like. But, like, because of the page, people were just, like, sending me stuff on, like, messenger or, like, email or whatever, and it's like, hey, man, have this. I did this, and I was like, that's cool. No, it's like, that's badass. I was, like, asking, like, how'd you do this? Yeah, it's like, because I'm not that old, but I understand, like, that. That was kind of hard, like, using a camera, an actual film, and, like. [00:23:16] Speaker A: Yes. [00:23:17] Speaker B: You wouldn't know if it would have it looked, you know, all right, or usable to, like, the next day or like, this, you know, until you got developed. [00:23:23] Speaker A: Yeah, that's so. That's interesting. That's interesting to you. It is like, preservation and how it's been preserved and how came about. [00:23:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I think the best way to preserve is post online just like, just from, like, Facebook or just, like, make, like, a PDF of it and post it on Facebook. [00:23:40] Speaker A: How do we. How do we preserve the stuff that's going on, like, now? Like, shows and stuff? You know what I mean? Have you gotten that far? [00:23:46] Speaker B: I'm not there yet, but I can tell you what I do, like, from older shows. Um, the best way to just like, preserve your posters like that, make sure, like, they're, um, like in rapping or in a good safe space. I kind of like, kind of like comic books in that sense. [00:24:00] Speaker A: They still make flyers for. [00:24:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:03] Speaker A: You make flyers, ma. [00:24:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, we flyers like this. It's a thing, something like that. Also, like bands, it's easier to make a Facebook page or note and stuff like that. Like, yeah, like, you know, event page or whatever. Our shows here. But people like, put posters still. It's not a type thing, like expressing yourself. Yeah, just like anywhere. It's like, it's not a dying art still there. It's not as prevalent as it was, obviously, but like, right, it's still there. Bounds, like, are still going at it. It's like that, you know, nothing's really has changed, but like, wow. But like, saving it, I would say, like, just keep good documentation. Like, just write down, like, somewhere, like, okay, this show took place and it's like this day. Yeah, this band plays this songs, blah, blah and stuff. [00:24:40] Speaker A: It's interesting that they still make flyers nowadays. [00:24:42] Speaker B: Yeah, they do. Yeah, it's very interesting because of this. This project. So my thing, I went to a lot of, like, because I didn't, like, go to corpus venues besides, like, you know, house rock and concrete straight for most of my life. [00:24:53] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:24:54] Speaker B: No idea. I'm sorry. I'm so I. So I recently, I started going to, like, smaller shows. Like at, um, that, like, there's a venue was called the NASA, but now it's called Studio B. And I go, a lot of these shows. A lot of these are young kids. [00:25:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:06] Speaker B: Go there. Like, I'm 28, so I'm so young. But like, these younger kids, like 21, 22, they told me sort of like, yeah, my uncle from Corpus told me he saw Pantera and I thought like, hey, man, you got any stuff from here? Like, blah, blah. It's like, oh, yeah, I do. My uncle's due and then they hit me up a couple of days later. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Yeah, amazing. David Pinon, huh? Yeah, yeah, David Pinona on YouTube. He says, I just talked to the singer of clutch last year and he still remembers the Halloween show vividly. He even mentioned that there were pumpkins everywhere for Halloween. [00:25:35] Speaker B: He mentioned that he, like, I was hanging out with him at Hyver and I mean, Devin is something like I was hanging out hybrid with them insight. It was like, yeah, man, I saw clutch and I guess I don't know where, but he's like. And I talked to the lead singer, and I was like, anyway, he asked about the Halloween show at giant Land and talk about crap. Ton of stories is brought like a flood of memories. Some like that. [00:25:55] Speaker A: I think I saw clutch. He was either giant line Tex guy. I don't remember which one it was at the timeline. Yeah, it was clutch. And I think limp Bizkit was on the bill. [00:26:04] Speaker B: Okay, that was Texas sky. Yeah, I got something, like, really important from, like, that show, but I'll show it to you later. I'm not hyping up for it, but it's really, really cool. [00:26:12] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I saw that. And I remember the dude playing. I remember there. I think they were using orange amps. I don't know. I think they were using orange amps. And that's, that's what kind of introduced me into that brand Orin, you know, the amplify amplifier company or whatever. But I was like, dude, these dudes are sick. And then, like, I still listen to the one that has a space grass on it. I can't remember which album it is. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome, man. [00:26:37] Speaker B: That, yeah, no, I would, I would love to meet, like, biggest bands and stuff, but, like, they're really famous now. Like, just, they were like, like, oh, we won't talk to you and stuff like that. Let's reach her. Like, what's it called? Promoters like that. But, like, I would love to, like, just bring these stuff up to these bands. Just like, you know, it's like bring their history back, you know, because they haven't seen it themselves and everything. Like a lot of supposed have been posted online. And that's where I started the page, because I felt like needy posts online. These bands, you get their stuff back, at least see them. [00:27:04] Speaker A: Do you have any, anything from the center theater? [00:27:07] Speaker B: Um, not personally, but at the Facebook group, someone posted, um, a center theater, like a big poster of a papa roach. [00:27:17] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:27:18] Speaker B: But I'm not sure you win that. Shows like, 2001 or 2000, but, um, one, like the, like, the second opener was like head pe. They, um, they played the house of rock. They're a good thing. But get this, the opening band, I couldn't believe it, but someone in the comments told me Linkin park opened up for this concert at the center theater. Yeah, they did, dude, look up. So I've been doing fuzzy. They misremember stuff. It's like, it's human nature, right? So I look up newspaper. Like, I would say, like, it's upside. They show up newspaper articles, like, from the caller times. Just wherever I cite the source or something like that. Like, oh, yeah, this thing has an ad for, like, a review by this guy and somebody that, from newspaper, they call it times. It was like, oh, crap. It did happen. [00:28:03] Speaker A: Yeah, no, yeah, no, Ticket. Ticketmaster. Are they still around? [00:28:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Ticket master. Yeah, I know. Like. But, like, it's. Man, it's like, taking even, like, star tickets and stuff like that. Ticket. Try, like, the scene, like, these ticket stubs, like, seeing these weird things and, like, just. This one still exists. [00:28:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Was it ozfest? The one that you showed me? It was ozfest, right? Did Ausfest come over here? [00:28:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:29] Speaker A: Was it just Ozzy Osborne? [00:28:31] Speaker B: No, it was. Okay, so originally it was, um. [00:28:36] Speaker A: Yeah, you can't see it. Remember that one? [00:28:38] Speaker B: Yeah, this was, um, things before Ozfest, but basically it's kind of like, um. It was Ozzy Osborne. Typo negative sepa tour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. And, like, I talked to one, like, the booker. Someone told me, like, I remember, like, Sharon Osborne in the back, and she was counting. Oh, my God. Like this. [00:29:02] Speaker A: Okay, so I was in a band called Wicked Red. [00:29:04] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:05] Speaker A: Dusty was in a bandaid also called Ih five. Who else? X x Crete was around at the time. They were primarily out of the high school. Miller High school. [00:29:15] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:15] Speaker A: Anyways, there was battle of bands at center theater. [00:29:19] Speaker B: Oh, I heard that. All the bands. [00:29:20] Speaker A: We won battle of the bands wicked red. [00:29:23] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:23] Speaker A: And we opened up for the misfits. [00:29:25] Speaker B: What? [00:29:26] Speaker A: The misfits, bro. [00:29:27] Speaker B: Yes. [00:29:27] Speaker A: Totally different crowd. Like, you were mentioning earlier how there's different. [00:29:30] Speaker B: Yeah, the corpus is like, we're like a town known for our crossover shows. Cuz, like, sometimes, like, different, like, genres happen the same time. Like, we need an odd thing to open up this different vibe, a different sound, but, like, we got to make it happen, you know? And this, like, stuff like that did happen. [00:29:47] Speaker A: Like, for you is it happened? Like, if anybody has that memorabil, like, I'm telling you, bro, we opened up. I remember winning battle, the bands there, and they're like, y'all are gonna open up for the misfits. So we did. And I was like, oh, this is so crazy, bro. Yeah, I remember the bass player, like, stringing up his own bass before the show. Yes, dude. Like, and I thought it was like, the roadie. I was like, oh, that dude stringing up the bass for his bass. And the next thing you know, I see him on stage and he's playing the bass. I'm like, oh, that was him. The whole time. [00:30:14] Speaker B: Dude, that's this while. Yeah, like, so another thing, I have a YouTube channel. We're on Corpus Christi ribs and stuff. It's on a Facebook page. But I posting like videos I find online. There's like digitized vhs tapes. And like I've been trying to find like someone who recorded that show or like outside the show and like the Misfits show. That's a cool one. I want to find. But like you have a list of stuff. Like so many, you know, bootleg tapes are and stuff. [00:30:37] Speaker A: Yes. No kidding, bro. [00:30:38] Speaker B: Yeah, like I even back to get back to like, bootlegs are bad. I was like, no, bootlegs are cool, cuz like you can see how it was like that. And like sometimes like just. It sounds better probably in the official ones, but like it's part of history. And like I've been looking from online, I found a couple. I found a Marilyn Manson one and I found one from like the Ritz theater. I found another one from kiss when they played the moral coliseum at the animal eyes tour, which is like a. But they have the makeup on. But it was. Yes. [00:31:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, the rich, I don't. I think the rich was open like before my time. But I was like, oh, these bands. I think somebody said Metallica played there. [00:31:13] Speaker B: Metallica did play there and stuff, I think in 82 with wasp. I want to say. [00:31:18] Speaker A: Wow. [00:31:18] Speaker B: So, um, recently I found out I might go to a place like a taco place called Chacha's tacos. And I was talking to our new fo, he's the owner. And like, um, I guess he like, you know, I don't know how long he's opened it for by hair. It's pretty famous in the corpus community. But like me him like been talking shop lately cuz like he's a big sport of what I do also he has a lot of like memorabilia. Just like he was part of the scene. He was in the man. Drastic action. [00:31:41] Speaker A: Yes. [00:31:41] Speaker B: Yeah, so he was part of that scene. He's like, yeah, man, this guy in the back like, you know, brutal poverty raise. Of course. He's like, yeah, man, they, they're hanging out like they were kids, stuff like that. But like they're now near the sea wall playing guitars while we're just killing time. And like the freaking guys, Metallica, they, they took pictures with them and like this jam with them and like, wow. And like they show like the opening thing for like battle rays like what the. And all. I couldn't believe him or something like that. But I looked online like I found it. [00:32:08] Speaker A: They had the past. [00:32:08] Speaker B: The one I posted on. That's some on the seawall and stuff like that. And I was like, I pass by that all the time. I never thought let like someone super famous. Was it corpus like that. But like they were. And it's like even like they got a big response like that from it too. [00:32:24] Speaker A: Yeah, and. Yeah. Who's the other guy from Van Halen, I think the singer, he was just like skates. Like it was like right in front of the coliseum to be on him. [00:32:35] Speaker B: Yeah. So I mean, I see picture a lot. Like I'm. You probably follow like the. I probably won't knows about this, but like the. The Corpus Christi history groups or whatever. That's why originally what like I to do like the Facebook page. What is it this corporate christie, like history groups. Like remember Corpus Christi when. [00:32:49] Speaker A: Yes. [00:32:50] Speaker B: Christian memories past, present or whatever. Like these history groups. And I was like, why is there music stuff? But when I did look at the Corpus Christi pages, some, like I saw like there's some music stuff. This is David leap Roth stuff. Let me like look into it some more. And I found out that, um, the guy who took a picture of the actual, like, you know, thing is still around. I don't know if his name, like I told my head, but he's still around. [00:33:14] Speaker A: That's so cool. [00:33:14] Speaker B: It's like this. I wouldn't know that until like some people like, messed me on Facebook. They just told me directly. [00:33:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:19] Speaker B: And it's like, it's crazy. Like, I see a lot of stuff and like, that's why I wanted to post about ask permission, of course. Like, hey, can I post on the group or like you want. [00:33:27] Speaker A: Yeah, you want to find like the actual documentation. [00:33:29] Speaker B: Exactly. I would love to, but I gotta ask permission first. Cause I want to set up because like I'm pretty sure as you know and stuff you don't like burn bridges and just like you always want to have like a good connection with someone so they can like help you out and then by, you know, you help them out too. But like you want to like just like be supportive, you know, have a good like network of like, of systems. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wanted to. So you know Joaquin? Yeah, he's the president of. [00:33:53] Speaker B: Was it Joaquin into conclusion? [00:33:56] Speaker A: Yeah. So how did you, so did you start like, I guess. How did you get into that, into what he's doing over there? [00:34:04] Speaker B: So I know I do walking since like elementary school. Like we're all Alice boys, so we hung out in the same neighborhood and stuff. But I didn't really hang out with them to, like, middle school, but I knew, like, just like, him in high school and marching man together. We went to sing concerts together and stuff. But, like, eventually he did, like, after school stuff or, like, in schools. [00:34:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I think. [00:34:25] Speaker B: I can't, like, tell exactly what did, but, like, basically he helped, like, kids out and stuff. Eventually he, like, he, he saw, like, the special needs and, like, just like, kids with autism. Like, they weren't being properly helped. And he thought, like, hey, I need, I need to, like, kind of, like, help the teachers out, the parents out, like, know their rights and what can you. To, like, like, not like, because, like, it can't be cured, obviously, but, like, it can be helped. Like, to, like, do kind of, like, um, like, to make it easier for them and stuff. [00:34:52] Speaker A: Yes. [00:34:52] Speaker B: Like, put headphones on. Yeah. Like, he, he want to do this thing, this project. I was like, sure. He wanted to, like, do a big benefit for, like, to raise funds and stuff. And I was doing the music project, so, like, that's how I got that, you know, the things going and stuff. And we made the concert happen. But, like, me and Joaquin, like, we're both. [00:35:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:13] Speaker B: Friends. Yeah. Went to a lot of concerts we went to. You would see pantera there, the reunion shows and stuff like that. Solen biscuits do. We're close. [00:35:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I really like that, like, helping, cuz I think I'm, like, add you're on the spectrum or whatever. And then, like, I think even maybe my daughter, my son is kinda, yeah. And, like, just having that in a classroom, it makes worlds because those kids are, a lot of those kids are bullied and picked on. [00:35:42] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Well, I didn't want to, well, I guess I can't bring it up, but I'm actually, I'm autistic. But my parents had luxury when, like, that's the first people like, to give me, like, like, speech therapy and physical therapy and, like, just, like, options because, like, right. Insurance wouldn't cover that when it was, like, kind of, like, in nineties because, like, it was like, oh, whatever. Yeah, but, like, kids, like, they need, like, early intervention to, like, for them to understand. Hey, I have this, this thing like that. I know I'm kind of, like, different the rest people, but, like, I think differently. Yeah, but I got a function, like, kind of like a, like someone that could function. Yeah. [00:36:19] Speaker A: In society. [00:36:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So you want to give them the skill sets. Like, you don't want change them, but you want to get the skill sets and tools, like, like, how you get any kid. Some of that, but you have to, like, kind of be, like, more, like, I guess, more precise, I guess you would say. Just because, like, it's. It's kind of hard. Like, like, for example, for me, it's like, I. It's kind of hard for me to make conversations normally. If I don't, like, kind of, like, kind of pre plan, it's like, like, what I'm going to say or just, like, having, like, an outline. But, like. And some kids are not like that, too, and you got to respect that. And it's like, hey, this is what you can do. So you practice, like, we, this how you is. Like, you play, like, pretend. [00:36:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:56] Speaker B: And stuff. You teach kids. Kids at a young age, they can, like, pretend. And, like, we pretend all the time, like, having conversation stuff. And the thing is, like, um, when, like, we have, like, um, people with autism, we, um, we have a thing called masking. Masking is basically kind of pretending like we don't, but, like, we actually react like a normal person, but we masking our symptoms by, like, overcompensating stuff. So we, um. [00:37:22] Speaker A: Good to know, man. [00:37:23] Speaker B: Yeah. No, no. It's like, it's hard for me to think about. I don't really talk about it as much, but, like, we're starting about this and stuff like that, and it's, like, needs to be talked about and stuff. But if you, if you really don't teach these people at a young age. [00:37:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:35] Speaker B: They're kind of, like, I want to say doom, but it's kind of harder for them to kind of, like, just adjust. [00:37:40] Speaker A: Yes. [00:37:41] Speaker B: And, like, we want to make, make it so, like, the teachers understand. Like, we're, like, workshops. We're talking to experts. [00:37:48] Speaker A: Yes. [00:37:49] Speaker B: But, like, just, like, sometimes teachers, like, overwhelmed and stuff, and they don't know, like, the skill, like, have the skill sets or knowledge, like, just how to deal with this like that. So, like, what Joaquin is doing is, like, trying to get extras from ut and trying to make this thing happen. Cool. I think, like, a, I don't know when we started, but, like, even so, like, this, like, like, fundraising, just making, like, you know, like, slow ways. But this concert thing kind of helped us a lot. [00:38:13] Speaker A: Yes. [00:38:13] Speaker B: And also, let's bring up. We went to domingo live. [00:38:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw that. [00:38:17] Speaker B: Yeah. No, and, like, he booked it for us, but, like, we kind of, like, what's on the concert? I talked about what I was doing, which, like, in turn, helped the concert out, you know? But, um, he was basically saying, like, you know, this. This is gonna go to this funds. We need this. The community, especially, like, the spanish community, like, just the Texas community, just. Yeah, we need this. Like, it needs to be, like, viable and stuff. So we're trying to do this a nonprofit and just, like, kind of help out, you know? [00:38:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I was excited to pay for tickets. I was like, yes, this is something that. Cause I'm like, you know what I mean? I didn't learn this stuff until later in life. In my late twenties, my early thirties, you know what I mean about ADHD and add and why I'm like this, why my brain functions like this. What can I do? And I'm even showing my kids, look, this is how your brain is. You know what I mean? It helps out. [00:39:05] Speaker B: Yeah, no, we. As a stigma, you know, like, our, like, our hispanic culture and some like that. We kind of, like, just be like, oh, he's different. You know, he's kind of, like, always quirky and smart. Like, no, he has, like, a. Like, a. Kind of, like, he's compensating for something. Like, his brain, like, just made for him and stuff like that. And we need to, like, teach him that, you know? But, like, sometimes you just kind of, like, oh, put on the side and stuff like that. And eventually, like, dirty's, like, wonder why I think this way. I wonder why. Like, I haven't, like, trouble, like, understanding feelings. And, like, I, like, I miss, like, I'm talking to someone. I misread their, like, their facial features. Like, oh, maybe this guy is sad, but, like, actually he's happy. And I was like, I. It freaks me out sometimes when I'm really overwhelmed, but, like, I try and, like, just to do step by step kind of practicing so much, like, all my life, but, like. But yes, we try to do something like that. But, like, sometimes, like, my friends, like, they go, like, undiagnosed until, like, a long time. And, like, you feel like, a lot of, like, depression and hate for yourself because, like, why am I so different? Why did I think differently? [00:40:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like. It's like. And, like, I think any human doesn't want to feel that way. It's like, that's like, self hatred. Like, yeah, they don't want to feel that way. They want to understand, like, we, as people, we want to, like, understand, like. Like, everything around us, because we're not, like, you know, like, social creatures. [00:40:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:23] Speaker B: So, like, you want, like, why. Why am I like, this way and stuff sometimes? Is this brains waves and, like, you know, like neurological orders disorders stuff. [00:40:31] Speaker A: And I. And I love heavy music, too. [00:40:33] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:40:33] Speaker A: I think it helps me zone, like, just zone out and calm. [00:40:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:39] Speaker A: You know what I mean? [00:40:39] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. I understand, like, some, like, like, some of my friends like, that who are, like, who aren't spectrum and stuff, they. They're all different. It's like a spectrum because, like, it's like different webs of it. Like, sometimes, like, music calms them down. Like, different functions might sometimes, like. Like, it over stimulates something. So, like, they're like. It's like needles and stuff. That's why you see, like, you know, like kids wearing headphones like that because, like, they're trying to be cool. Because, like. Yeah, it hurts them and stuff. Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone here felt like, like a nails on the chalk. Chalkboard. And, like, it's like, loud, like, just noises that hurt you and stuff and, like. And, like, just. I like, personally, when I see, like, kids with headphones, I don't think anything of it because I understand, like, it's. It's like, kind of blocking out, like, the noise because. Yeah, like, as, you know, like, just, like, the sounds, like they can, like, just make. Mess up your day or just, like, mess up your vibe and stuff. [00:41:32] Speaker A: Like, and if they do weird stuff, like in the. For, like a community, it's like, oh, don't do that. That's weird to. But you're like, no, that's his way of co. You know. [00:41:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:42] Speaker A: His brain relaxing or whatever. [00:41:45] Speaker B: I'm like, I forget what's called. It's not a. Not a tick or something like that. It's not fidgety. There's a word for it, but can't think of my head. It's like, like, it's just kind of soothe them and stuff like that. Like how? Like a cat kind of, like, you know, like, grooms itself. Because, like, it's like, overstimulated. Yeah, I mean, that's part of it, but it's whatever. But, like, um. They do that, but, like, it's like. [00:42:06] Speaker A: If you tell them no, like. Like, don't tell them no. Just let them explain. [00:42:09] Speaker B: Explain why? Yeah, yeah, and, like, that's because, like, I'm not a parent. I just know it works for me. And I was like, if. If this works for me, might work with someone else, but I'm not sure. Yeah, and just so everyone's different. [00:42:22] Speaker A: So doing all this stuff that you're doing, this helps. This helps your brain? [00:42:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm like. I'm pretty sure, like, as you probably know, like, a lot of people in the spectrum, like, the hyper fixated on certain things or certain topics, so they make stories up. Like, basically, I was, like, hyper fixated on learning about this because I've always been, like, one to know more about, like, everything and stuff. So this is one subject I was really interested in because, like, always had an act of, like, taking information that I learned. [00:42:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:49] Speaker B: Like, pop culture, like, music and stuff, and, like, trying, like, make an interesting conversation out of it. [00:42:54] Speaker A: Mmm. [00:42:54] Speaker B: So I was like, I wonder if this be interesting. And, like, just. People loved it. [00:42:57] Speaker A: So far, so crazy. [00:42:59] Speaker B: Yeah, no, no, it's been. It's been a real big privilege because, like, he were, like, the dudes. Weird and he's not gonna talk, but, like, no, people, like, they love this thing, like, helping the community. Exactly. Finally. Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, no, no, and, like, I think your podcast is cool, too. It's like, you. You give, like, like, people, like, voices might that, like, a good, like, reach and stuff, you know? And, like, I thought, like, oh, that's a good, like, way to, like, promote myself. Wrote everyone else is the money, and everyone else would help me out and stuff. But, like, um. But, yeah, no, it's been a good time. [00:43:30] Speaker A: What's it. What's in the future? Like, where do you see it going, man? [00:43:33] Speaker B: I don't know yet. So I've been, like, I wanted, you know, the gallery and stuff, and I've been talking to, um, I don't know if you know, the owner of the house of rock, Casey Lane, he's owner operator there. Me and him are talking about, like, maybe doing a gallery there or maybe even do, like, a video show. Because, like, I'm, like, my YouTube channel or, like, just, you know, like, I know, like, other you channel YouTube channels. I know there's, like, a video of your. Of y'all's been out there and stuff, like, for online. So I was like, maybe I can make a playlist and stuff and play in front of people. House of rock or something like that. Be a montage or whatever, you know, if you could see, like, um. Oh, this venue. It's like, it's not there anymore, but I remember, and all this band is playing. I can still see the outside, like, stuff and just the camera guy holding around and stuff and just. But, yeah, no, I would. I have different ideas, but, like, I just. I don't know yet. I would like to, but, you know, like, I don't know what life takes me, but. [00:44:26] Speaker A: Nice. [00:44:26] Speaker B: I mean, a lot of cool people, a lot of interesting doors. You know, it's opening. [00:44:30] Speaker A: What are some favorite. What are some of your favorites? Like, out of all the stuff that you collect? [00:44:36] Speaker B: Okay. I'm probably like the. The poster I show the mocking metal fest. But, um, I mean, like, I don't have anything personal for my collection yet, but, um, a lot of things that have been donated that I've seen personally displayed is like the Ritz theater poster, what Anthrax played. [00:44:52] Speaker A: Wow. [00:44:53] Speaker B: And also with the band devastation. And the funny story about that step. This was devastation, like, first, like, gig. Gig. So that they open. [00:45:01] Speaker A: Yes. [00:45:02] Speaker B: So, like, there's a story I, like one of the guys of my night leader was like, there's like, his, like, things. One of his show, he played with the band devastation for a while. He was like, I was like, I was freaking out, man. Cuz like, I thought was a regular, like, you know, like, like kickback party show, menu show. Like, no, I'm like, the least thing. Like, no, man. I got us to the Ritz theater. Like, the Ritz theater here in Corbin. He's like, open the fruit. Anthrax, man. I was, like, freaking out. But, like, hearing that story made memorable. Also we have another poster from, like, suicide tendencies. And I think I want to say the band on anchor watch there at thrash metal band from Corpus. And they. They made it big back then and, like, even now because anchor Watt members, he went on to. To go with the band on Nine Inch Nails. [00:45:47] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:45:48] Speaker B: He's. He was Danny Loner. He. But he was a big, big, like, part of the corpus scene. But, like, I think he moved away from corpus, like, around 95. We played nine Inch Nails. He was on the downward spiral album with the, you know, like, it's a closer and hurt up and eraser. [00:46:05] Speaker A: No way he was on that one. [00:46:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I want to say he was. I think he was a keyboard player. Don't call me on that. But, like, I know he's nine snail. I think he was from closer. So 95 to the fragile, I think 2001 or. But I know he played with perfect circle next. And, like, he was big. He's some corpus might. I don't know if he like something. I would like to, like, interview him and talk with them, but, like, cool. But just like, I don't know him. He's probably, you know, more like busier life and just. Yeah, you don't know these, like, kind of like people and smart that. So you always like, hey, can I arrange this? Should be okay with this. And just like, you know? You know, so it's always like, I would like to in the future, but, like. But I don't know if that's never happened, but, like, I've been having, like, talking to local. Local people. Like, something corp is like, oh, you from this match? Like, oh, yeah, I am. It's like, can I ask you some questions? Like, okay, sure. There's always a down for talking about the whole stuff. You know, they're proud out the most the times. [00:47:02] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's cool. Like, I was thinking, like, if you. If you contact that guy, just, like, if you want to bring him on the podcast or whatever, that would be cool. It's like, just telling, hey, just. I shoot messages to people. [00:47:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:15] Speaker A: And if they don't get back, that's fine, you know? [00:47:17] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. The worst thing you can. They can do is say, no, smite. [00:47:20] Speaker A: That, you know, just like, Marcos Liao. Like, he reached out. I was like, what? Are you serious, bro? And then he came on the show, and then he was. He was mentioning, oh, I think the guys would like this. The guys from El Nino. And they came up. I was like, what? Are you serious? It was totally unexpected. [00:47:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:36] Speaker A: And just. I guess, like, just the connections that you have with people, it helps. [00:47:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:42] Speaker A: I guess that because I was here. [00:47:43] Speaker B: I was hearing some, I think my uncle's friend told me. But basically, um, statistically, you kind of, like, I think five persons away from, like, I'm going someone, like, hear all that, things like that. [00:47:54] Speaker A: That's amazing. [00:47:55] Speaker B: It's like, you could be, like, somewhere. I'm like, new York. And, like, there's a person that, like, five persons away know someone from, like, I guess you're, like, neighborhood or whatever. There's a chance. I forget that, like, the exact percentage by. No, I was like, small percentage, but, like, it's still there. [00:48:09] Speaker A: Yeah. That's cool. That's cool to know. Wow, man. So do you. Is there any posters here? Did you want to show us or anything? [00:48:15] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, no, let me, um. Let me show you the one that I really want to show you the most. This. The poster. I'm talking about this in Texas sky festival. Biscuit one. [00:48:28] Speaker A: Lift it up. So the camera. [00:48:29] Speaker B: There you go. This is autographed by, um, Frank Durst and all the members. Like, the dj lethal. It's kind of dark, but it's. One of them says, dJ Lethal. And there's, like, Fred. Der said, fred sucks. [00:48:42] Speaker A: 98, right? [00:48:43] Speaker B: What did you say? Texas Sky 98? [00:48:45] Speaker A: No. Oh, my gosh. That Texas guy. [00:48:49] Speaker B: Yes. That's the one with clutch. [00:48:51] Speaker A: I think it is. [00:48:52] Speaker B: And then like, this says, like, 1st 500 ladies get in free first. Yeah, it was, it was, it was. [00:48:59] Speaker A: Ladies night in Cambodia. What did it say? What's the name of the show? [00:49:03] Speaker B: It's like late night in Cambodia. [00:49:04] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:49:06] Speaker B: First I'm ladies getting free and, like, just that tell. It was a different time. I won't. There's a really good, like, review of the concert on, like, on the, on the call of Times newspaper, but, like, how basically, like, reviewers are kind of pissed because Fred Durst was acting a fool, but he did some stuff, was like, bro, this isn't even cool. [00:49:29] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:49:29] Speaker B: It wasn't, don't want to out loud, but if you read it, it's like. [00:49:33] Speaker A: It was, it was on the color times. [00:49:34] Speaker B: It wasn't color time. I'll send the article. I think I might post the article on thing. But, like, it, like, Fred Durst was, like, trying to, like, just, I wouldn't like to serve heated, but he did some stuff. But he's Fred Durst, so he's in doing limb biscuits and do limb biscuit gun. Do you know he's a, was like 99. [00:49:52] Speaker A: He's got like a beer. [00:49:53] Speaker B: He's like, old dude. He's like, the tour were like Corey Feldman. It's at the Loserville tour. Me and Joaquin, we saw limb biscuit together, I think. But the pan, like, I think was a venue called, it was a festival called Rock Lahoma. We saw pantera and, like, one day we saw Limbiska next day. And, like, dude, he could still sing, but, like, dude has like, a big white beard. Yeah, but yeah. No, was experience seeing, like, all the dj lethal and like the old guys and all the crew. [00:50:22] Speaker A: It's cool. [00:50:23] Speaker B: But yeah, no, but, yeah. Let me show you the actual ticket stoves from lean ladies on a Cambodia. [00:50:28] Speaker A: Oh, dude. [00:50:30] Speaker B: But, yeah, no, there's the guy who donated the post to me for, like, the gallery. [00:50:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:34] Speaker B: So doesn't it take? It stubs. [00:50:37] Speaker A: Wow, look at that. [00:50:38] Speaker B: Yeah. If you can't see it, like says, um, WetA Entertainment 462 Inc. Presents ladies night in Cambodia Texas Guy Festival Park Friday, March 27, 1998 08:00 p.m. what that entertainment? What? I said he's a lawyer, dude, I. [00:50:57] Speaker A: Was telling you from Texas guy. The owner? [00:51:00] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah, yeah. So, wow. [00:51:03] Speaker A: It's amazing. [00:51:03] Speaker B: He was the owner, but, like, project you get to us like that. But I basically, he worked with drawing land until he changed the name to Texas guy. Cuz Johnny can always left, you know, just to do his own thing. So he's Texas Guydeh, but he partnered with a promoter from like, I think the Austin area, Jerry Latouf. [00:51:22] Speaker A: Wow. [00:51:23] Speaker B: And Jerry Latoof, he brought a lot, a lot of music, like big bands to corpus. He's the one who brought Lollapalooza here and stuff. Like he's passed away like a long time ago, but like, you can still see like his hand prints and like just the Corpus Christi scene and stuff. But. [00:51:38] Speaker A: Wow. But that's amazing. [00:51:40] Speaker B: A lot of great shows happen to Texas guy. But it ultimately came to an end because. How about Weta son, like was in a bad skiing accident. [00:51:50] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:51:51] Speaker B: And just, he felt like, know what? I probably shouldn't do this concert thing anymore. And he basically turned Texas guy into a big, like megachurch place or just like an outdoor service and stuff. [00:52:02] Speaker A: Okay. [00:52:02] Speaker B: Yeah. So that was the end of a chapter of, like, corpus, like, music for a while because, like, there wasn't really an option, like, for like, bigger bands to come here. So, like, because it sort of stopped and we can, and then like, it kind of opened again with concrete street because Jerry Latouf, who like, was a promoter and manager at Texas Guy, went out to make concrete street and he did. You probably know the concrete street, like cut the first couple of years, the run. Crazy, crazy big, big, big names. Yeah. I didn't bring it with me, but there's a poster of it I would play at the gallery, but it's a poster concrete street. Of the first concert. There was like Pantera, soul fly and morbid angel. That was at first, like that tells you anything was to be expected. Like a concrete sheet. And for a good, like almost twelve or 13 years, like it was just rock, rock, rock classic big, like just big axe. But like, just because, like just how everything goes now. But like, like a lot of, like, the bands that, the big bands like, they did go to, concrete street don't go there anymore. I mean, no offense to anyone, but, like they don't really go there anymore because, like it's just too expensive. It's not really viable anymore. [00:53:10] Speaker A: But like, yeah, like, not enough people will show up. Is that what it is? [00:53:14] Speaker B: I couldn't tell you the exact reason, but, like it's just different. Different environment, I guess. Or just different market. Just too expensive. Because, like, so I think, like, personally that, um, the house of rock and like, smaller venues here in corpus, like, that's where you get like the, not the big, big name artists, but you get like some like, big name artists. I got you. Like, you get, like, we had alien ant farm here, like, recently in house of rock. Probably saw that. You probably heard about this show and just, like, a lot of stuff happened, but, like, mainly we just got, like, like, club shows and a lot of, like, a lot of rock bands, a lot of death metal bands, a lot of punk bands to go to our small, like, club scene, like, um, I don't know even ever been to the music venue here called boozers? [00:53:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:54] Speaker B: So boozers had, like, some really, really, like, fun, like, hardcore bands and stuff. I saw, um, dri, dirty Rod and imbeciles. Yeah, they're classic. Like, I think they're from, like, Dallas. Yeah, like, they're different. Texas. They're really iconic thrash band. They played at, like, boozer ammo. So you have $15 there. I was like, this is wild. [00:54:14] Speaker A: Wow. [00:54:14] Speaker B: And I saw another, like, really, really iconic sludge metal band called I hate God and, like, what a name, dude. I saw them. I was like, whoa. And, like, I saw stuff that, like, this. I saw stuff. Yeah. Let's put it that. [00:54:30] Speaker A: What's going on? Matt doing. Matt can't do in the. [00:54:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:33] Speaker A: My boy. Beyond proud of you. I'll make sure this doesn't. Believe me. [00:54:39] Speaker B: Like, super supportive and stuff. [00:54:40] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm a good. I'm having a good time and. [00:54:43] Speaker B: Yeah, no, awesome. I would love to come back again, you know, or, like, anywhere. Like, I love talking about, like, that stuff. I'm interested in buying what I do and stuff. And I just. Because I feel like, you know, like. Like, for all from, like, no matter where we come from, like, we're, like, in a community together and stuff. My mom always told me that, like, we should grow where we're planted. You know, we should have a community no matter what. You know? Like, I support, like, she supported, like, Alice when we did live there, but when we moved to corpus, she supports the corpus community as well. [00:55:13] Speaker A: Wow. [00:55:13] Speaker B: Yeah, my family. My family owns, like, medical business practices here and stuff. [00:55:18] Speaker A: You learned that from your mom, from your parent? Like, yeah, parents. [00:55:21] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. My uncles, like, they. They did fun stuff when they're kids, but, like, they kind of, like, have families matured and, like, they get their doctors now, but, like, they did some stuff. Like, some fun stuff back when they were young and. But, like, they always talking like, you work hard and you play hard. [00:55:38] Speaker A: Awesome. [00:55:38] Speaker B: Yeah. And that's what you do. [00:55:40] Speaker A: I'm digging your shirt, man. Was that godzilla? [00:55:41] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Godzilla. It's a digging. It's. I think it's a. It's a french one. I got it, like, at some comic book store in Austin, Texas. Cause I think Austin books and comics. [00:55:51] Speaker A: Right on. [00:55:51] Speaker B: I think I was, like, middle school. That's like. So I think I. At one time, my uncle lived in Austin, and, like, I would hang out with them, visit him. We'd go around shops and stuff. That's how I saw a lot of the shows. And just like, I saw flaming lips. Yeah, I saw Wu Tang clan there. It's like a lot of cool shows. Also, I saw my first ministry show with them. [00:56:10] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So I noticed that you like ministry. [00:56:12] Speaker B: Do I love ministry? Yeah. Yeah. Also, one of the members from Angkor Wat, I think. I think it's Adam Grossman. I think. No, if I'm wrong, apologize. But I think he worked in the ministry during the nineties. Or just. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he did. Or one of the anchor Watts member work in ministry. [00:56:31] Speaker A: It was administrative first. Or Rob Z or white zombie. It's kind of like those. [00:56:35] Speaker B: Okay. So I think, like, they're in the same scene and stuff like that. So, um, Al Jorgensen, he did a ministry, and I think, like, he might have, like, met her. Well, like, Rob Zombie and stuff. But it was like some ministry. White zombie. I think white zombie, like, runs in New York and stuff like that area, then eventually became famous, like, you know, for, like. Yeah, like, you know, nineties and stuff. Bees and butt head and just whatever. They came. They play here, 94 at Johnny lad. Eventually, Rob Zombie became Rob Zombie. You know, this is solo act and stuff. [00:57:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:07] Speaker B: And he did his, you know, thing as you saw. And also the first one, like, the first Rob zombie tour took place in Corpus Christi. [00:57:13] Speaker A: Wow. [00:57:14] Speaker B: Because, like, his bad white son had a good time here. So, like, let's just, like, you know, he's bringing, like, his new band here in corpus. And, like, that was the last hard rock band to play here at Texas Guy, like, right before became religious venue, a big church. [00:57:30] Speaker A: What do you think about the music scene now and where it's going here in the town and corpus? [00:57:35] Speaker B: I think it's really good and something like that. I think we. We have, like, a. Like, when I've been going to local shows and I see, like, these young kids, like, just exploring different genres, like, just like death metal, punk, ska, country was interested. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I met him, like, just going around local shows. My thought, you know, you don't know who's gonna, like, blow up, be big and stuff like that. And like at the price of tickets we have, you know, a house of rock or just like studio be or like even like boozers might that like, like you're seeing really good live music there and stuff. You're being exposed to it and stuff. I think most music art is like, it's good. It's. If it's live perform, you know, in front of people, I was like, I think it's admirable on about sometimes like Sammy, everyone's cup of tea, but I think it's an admirable, you know. [00:58:19] Speaker A: Yeah, like, it's very interesting. [00:58:21] Speaker B: It's exactly. So I think like the scene is like the kids are doing it now. They're exploring, they're doing different things. We live in a. An age like, you know, like with air and some like that social media. [00:58:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:58:32] Speaker B: So it's easier to promote stuff. So sometimes you do see a poster sometimes, but like, like, but most times it's like just someone may like word of mouth or just like an Instagram post with a picture. You kind of don't really see like paper, like flyers and what you do sometimes, but like not all the time, though. [00:58:49] Speaker A: Or even like, like I wanted like cds or. [00:58:51] Speaker B: Yeah, this digital streaming. Yeah, it's kind of. Yeah, it's kind of done. But like, um. I have a feeling then, like cds might make a comeback. Yeah, I'm thinking so because like vinyl, like vinyl records that made it come back, I think the 2000, I think I couldn't tell you what year by. You're like in middle school, it's like 2008, nine or ten or somewhere. Like it's just like Best Buy was selling vinyls again. [00:59:16] Speaker A: We have a 2006 Honda. It still has a cd player in it. And we got a CD from the shattered sun show. What my daughter, that was her first show, the night shattered sun. We got a t shirt and the, the lady selling the merch, which is I think Mark, my wife and like. Yeah, yeah, so she gave my daughter a CD and a few posters and my daughter had been wanting to put a CD in the sheep there and that's the first CD she put in there. [00:59:46] Speaker B: Like, I mean, yeah, what a weird concept. Cuz I remember like cd. I remember like I had like, um, the first ever buying, like it was in fourth grade. I bought like the 10,000 days tool. I'm so like the other times, like my, I got cds like my uncles, even my mom, my mom was the one who introduced me to Metallica. [01:00:04] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [01:00:04] Speaker B: So I'm always been like, you know, like I guess hip in that sense, you know with music. But um. But I remember 10,000 days getting cd being a big deal. But like for a kid nowadays to be excited about a cd when there's like the streaming and digital, like it's a weird concept but I think. I think the young generation is probably gonna go back to cds just like. [01:00:26] Speaker A: I just like not too long ago they. The generation started going to vinyl. [01:00:30] Speaker B: Exact thing. [01:00:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I remember Maya, he would. He was getting into vinyl too. Yeah, yeah, that was like in the seventies when it was like really. [01:00:38] Speaker B: Yeah, big is the best quality. Like um. Because the vinyl record is like the one of the best qualities you could have gotten the seventies and like a poor, I guess like a more like portable sound cuz you like a track, your cassettes and stuff like that. But close, it might be close like a real to reel I guess, but like it's like super expensive and rare back then. [01:00:56] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [01:00:56] Speaker B: So like it was a vinyl record and those the best quality song you get. [01:00:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:00] Speaker B: That eventually give the cd which is more compressed sound but it's like it's, it's better than like it's better like you know and smaller than a vinyl. So like. [01:01:08] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Matt got the. I was gonna mention that Matt that you have your after hours and you just, just got a bunch of cds and shipping him out, man, that's awesome. [01:01:17] Speaker B: Yeah, no, no, he's been hustling. I methadore. So I met Matt when I was going to college, the town with Cc. I was going for a theater. Yeah, I'm alumni from there. No, so I did a performing arts, did a theater building and stuff. So um, I was hanging out in theater and stuff like that. You know, I did like, I did productions, I did like stage management, I did like tech crew and stuff. [01:01:37] Speaker A: Wow. [01:01:37] Speaker B: But I met Matt, I think. I think it's the theater building or like just the cafeteria, one of the buildings there in town. Ucc. Mm. Was talking like. But he knew a lot of my, like my friends. Wow. It's like, you know this guy? Oh, I do. Hung out those he. That's weird, dude. But we became friends. I knew him all over the years. I talked him sometimes he's hustling and stuff like that, you know it is. [01:02:00] Speaker A: And he's from San Diego basically. Alice, it's like. [01:02:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know, like how like this offended or just like he like. Okay. I remember a lot of people, San Diego, they come to Alice, my dad, so like they said, alice sounds like, I mean you're from San Diego. And it's like, I don't, I don't get in the whole discussion, but, like, you claim wherever you want to be, you know, like people like to Mosley, I claim mostly from Austin there for like ten years. And, like, you born somewhere else. Like, and you like, I just think you're like a natural born Austin citizen. You're like, they're that long smite that. But like, yes, I knew an Alice. I was saying too, like the eventually I want to bring the gallery and like, just like music project I'm doing is like Monica, like most south tech, like the San Diego scene, the Alice scene, the kings all scene, the romp, like, because like, those, like, small communities, even the reins, passive rock board and whatever they played in corpus, they had a big influence as corpus too. Like, they had a bigger part. I used to get like, um, like people, like, why aren't you covering this? Why aren't you covering that? I was like, I mean, this one that I got the most information from and stuff. That's what I have at the moment. I would like to cover more stuff, like, if possible, if it's connected corpus right now because corpus is kind of the easiest, like, kind of like center point to talk about because a lot of. From corpus. [01:03:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:17] Speaker B: And it's like kind of like the mecca music that back in the nineties, eighties, so it's easier to find stuff in corpus. I know Alice has some stuff. Yeah, I know, like kings or like, whatever has, like, other stuff too. But, like, I don't found it yet or I've been told I seen it, but I'm like, probably a good, like, poster and stuff. [01:03:36] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [01:03:36] Speaker B: But eventually I hope to, like, cover, like, South Texas. Yeah. And eventually it's cool. A goal of mine, I would like to, like, do a traveling, like, gallery show where I was like, oh, dude, corpus was a huge scene. Here's our other stuff I'd be like, bringing. So, like, Austin, Texas, Dallas, Texas. Yeah, just show it off. Like, just because I'm proud of, like, my corpus stuff a lot, you know, that's amazing. And I think, like, you know, I think since you had a band, stuff like that, I think you should be like, and if we find any of your stuff, like any old, like, you know, posters, whatever. Like, yeah, pictures, post it on the Facebook page. Because I think that that's, like, the best, like, exposing community to, like, what you commute like you did and stuff. And I was also told by Tony, by Tony Gomez of Kilimore was telling you earlier, all these people that did it one time, like they, they stopped doing it cuz they like families work or something like that. But when I did play, they put it there all, they give it to all and stuff like that. Cuz like that's what they like wanted to do was like expressing themselves, you know, you gotta respect that. Just sometimes just, life happens, you know, it's like you gotta work, you gotta eat. It's like the band things, like, it's not cutting it, sometimes it does, it doesn't. [01:04:39] Speaker A: Wow. [01:04:40] Speaker B: And you gotta like, just, just kind of like figure out what works the best thing for you. But like, I think being a band is probably like the best thing to do, like express yourself or one of the better ways to. I think. [01:04:50] Speaker A: Yeah, it's, it's an awesome feeling to be able to play your songs in front of people and hope and that knowing that they like it is actually even better because you're like, oh, shoot, they like our stuff and we put so much work into it. Like, you actually create these riffs just out of nowhere, you know, and these drum, drum tracks or whatever and it's just like, oh, shit, I want to put this out. Like even Matt, they're creating this thing and putting it out. Hi, Francesca, thanks for joining the live stream. That's my daughter, she always comes on. [01:05:17] Speaker B: Here, man, I hope is her daughter. [01:05:18] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's, she's on the life. She says hi. She wants to make sure I say hi to her, so. Hi, Francesca.
