Multimedia goodness is beginning to trickle into the Che Underground YouTube channel from the Che Games for May, an event at San Diego’s Casbah that brought together musicians from the early-’80s “Che Underground” era in fantastic new forms.
Here’s the first edited video of Noise 292’s quarter-century reunion: a hypnotic version of “Stupid Future” by the electrifying Kristin Martin. I’m proud to say that the Casbah performance reunited the entire Noise 292 lineup as a sextet; percussionist Hobie Hodge and his successor, Wendell Kling, shared the stage for the first time ever during this set.
Old school: Listen to “Stupid Future” from 1983!
This video was shot by Ami Hodge on a Xacti palmcorder and edited by Kristin Martin, who synced the video with digital audio recorded by Jason Brownell.
“Stupid Future” features Kristin Martin (vocals, rhythm guitar); David Rives (lead guitar); Wendell Kling, Hobie Hodge (percussion); Joey Miller (drums); Matthew Rothenberg (bass).
