Nihilistics @ My Father's Place

Bootleg audio from July 12, 1984

Jun 23, 2024

Hey Chris,
Greatly enjoy your tales of the Nihilistic’s and the trials and tribulations of a working band and your ultimate escape from L.I. Anyway, like many dozens of disaffected L.I. suburbanites back in the day, I was a Nihilistics fan. Anyway, I would occasionally bring my Walkman to shows and record, which leads to the point of this email. I recorded your missing video show from My Fathers Place, quality of the recording is not half bad, not board feed of course, but very listenable. A digital copy is available to you if you have an interest.
Further, I also have a very short but interesting tale of a random interaction with Mike in 1984. You want to hear?
Let me know
Mike Smollen

Maybe Murphy’s Law or Social Distortion has a copy of the video?

NIHILISTIC

Chris T. – founder of seminal NYHC band NIHILISTICS – takes you on the journey to publication of NIHILISTIC: How a hardcore band saved my life... then nearly killed me – "A memoir with guitar" – is a coming-of-age cautionary tale following two forlorn, friendless, dead-end suburban “Lawn Guyland” fat kids who form a band and end up on the legendary stages of the NYHC (New York Hardcore) scene. We see how each interpret the lessons of their particular moment and the way success in their milieu warps their friendship until one tries to murder the other.
