Fulano de Tal -- Live at Gamma Alpha (ΓΑ) -- April 17, 1992
One of
our most energetic live concerts, with a great audience.
In 1992 I played
in Fulano
de Tal, a quite loud hypnotic-aggressive rock trio. Who
would think that just
three guys
could make all that racket? Not as polished
as Harmful if Swallowed, but
possibly more danceable.
Fulano de Tal was a subset
of Harmful if Swallowed, containing:
Jim Davis: bass, vocals;
Bruce Donald: guitar, vocals;
Daniel Scharstein: drums.
Recording and engineering by Jim Davis
This year, we were without Dexter.
Recorded
at Gamma
Alpha (ΓΑ) Graduate Scientific Society, 116 Oak
Ave, Ithaca NY
