Was that at the Edge? I used to have a tape of the set they played in Montreal, I think a few days after the Toronto set, and it was a great one. You could tell from the recording that most of those in the crowd didn't really know what to make of those guys. They must have seemed like they were from outer space or something at the time.
@@cftvdata It was put on by Gary Topp & Gary Cormier (The Garys) at The Horseshoe a few months before they moved to the Edge which opened in 1979. There was bouncers walking up and down the aisles because there was a lot of hostility in the air.
@@AlexRadeffandDonkey🦃🦃🦃 Uhhh, do you mean AISLES at The HORSESHOE? Unless it's been radically renovated since 1978, ain't no aisles ever been in The Horseshoe. Just sayin.
Lucky I was around to see Tamata, Darby, and, Black Randy, funny enough I can still remember 50% of the good stuff...Screamers were in on the ground floor, Tamata was the coolest
Did you know Darby crash? I like the germs a lot and Darby is interesting, from what I seen he was goofy but intelligent at the same time. Edit: some of his live shows in 77 is funny, you can hear him antagonizing the crowd between songs 😂
Huge influence on me from the first time I heard them way back in '81 or '82. My first band were so much like them. Fender Rhodes through fuzz, life changing :)
Today it is hard to understand how how dangerous and subversive this was in 1978. Ten years of laid back attitude were shattered by punk in an instant. "....A potential H bomb" Too bad that the idea of mixing synths and punk did not became more widespread. Maybe it was too powerful, the world could not handle that much energy,
NON, too. And a handful of others who were inspired by the Screamers' do-it-different ethos, if not their use of synths specifically, like Gobschite and Fat & Fucked Up.
I think I was at that show. I was a big fan of the Screamers and I went to most punk/no wave shows I could find in those days... I remember the TVs but it might have been from a different show. They went through plenty of changes. No pun intended.

Fine stuff.
@@robbrake7704 Today, July 3rd, 2021, at 2:20PM PST they are showing a near-HD version of this Screamers video at cathodetv.com, arrive a little early because it usually starts right on time.
I just found Cathode recently and saw this for the first time the other night when they played it. Any way you could point me to a link with that version?
i found out about these guys a decade ago right as i was buying my busted ass drum machines from the 60s and running my organ consoles through my pedal board. i know it's sappy and lame to say, but at the time i felt really connected to the Screamers on a weird level when i first discovered 'em. imagine a teenage idiot rolling around her bed with a diary like, "ew holy heck they totally get me" type shit. it's been quite a few years, and my music has mutated for the weirder/better since then, but i always come back to this band when i want to think about my own coming up. also i really am infatuated with the thought of them being so profound for their time, yet there isn't an official goddamn tape or record to be found by this band. i mean, fuck you Eva Braun, but also The Screamers are tops.
+Badker Productions Just because there are no guitar power chords, the idiots dismiss this and call it "new wave/synth crap".... These guys had their OWN agenda. More thought provoking (with a very alien element) ideas presented here than any generic "thrash punk/hc/rehash! Punk is an ATTITUDE... Besides, the word "punk" does not mean SHIT anymore.
It was also an act, a vehicle for Tomata and co. After everyone got hip to them, they went on to create something newer. Make no mistake, THIS was and still is genius. The end is perfect.

Hey Throbbing Gristle IS musical, in an unnerving and unfathomable way, but somehow, it achieves to be, to me anyway... Discipline is funking music beyond the abuse! Hamburger Lady too!

@vanuaturocks Kraftwerk came first, so I'd put it the missing link between Kraftwerk and Black Flag. I'd probably put it more the missing link between Kraftwerk and The Germs as well. Quibbles though, point is that I agree with you!
Saw them at The Whiskey A Go Go on Sunset Bl. right before they were suppose to be signed. During this song a girlfreind of one of the members (Tommy ?) use to stand in front of the stage with her jet black hair and red glove in a Sieg Heil salute for the length of the song. (strong girl). This was Punk 1970's in LA Couldn't be the girlfreind of the ever charming, charismatic, Joi de Vrie Tomata 'cause he was gay. Tomata use to frequent the now defunct Villa Capri Restaurant on upper Cahuenga Sunday Eves.
There is now a greatly-improved audio track of this at ruclips.net/video/aZuA-TNK0rI/видео.html. If I had the equipment, time, and technical facility, I'd put them together.
It wasn’t much different back then. Very few people were into this, appreciated it, or even knew of it’s existence at the time. What *MOST* people were into back then was disco, bad country-rock like the Eagles, and boring arena rock bands.
Uggggg I don't wanna b one of those "I was born in the wrong generation" people, but I would give anything to have seen these dudes live
i born in the better era, thas beacause i can hear the oldies and the new (a little bit) good things
Yeah but you’d be old as fuck now
@@dalkab1 Or dead...
Have 25 years old this days.. Old today who cares, it's lame now looking at cramps concert on youtube only whaou what a chance
sorry to tell, but you missed a great band
Screamers and DEVO understood the importance of video in music before most other bands. Truly innovative!
Too bad they didn’t know the importance of recording 😂
@@dalden710 right on
The Residents too!
Dude was born to be a synthpunk star with a fuckin' head like that.
I saw the screamers live many times and 50 years later I still have their sound in my ears, absolutely fantastic
I saw them in Toronto on Halloween 1978 and have never forgotten them. Incredible experience.

@@mightyturkeyneck3498 It has been renovated. it's a lot smaller than it was.
Saw them at the Mabuhay in SF, once in '77 and once in '78....they WERE that good-amazing live
Tomata gave us Plenty
I played two songs of them in the local comunity radio here in my hometown.
They deserved it!
1978/79.... ahead of their time yes.
Amazing!!

what was the name of your band?
comepletely underrated band.
Eva Braun
She's a blonde
What a blonde
With the man
With the little moustache

The theatricality of this band is ace. Awesome biting synths--just great stuff.

CortoArmitage look into the band the locust
Factrix, Nervous Gender, Pink Section, TuxedoMoon, Chrome, all part of that sound and scene.
NON, too. And a handful of others who were inspired by the Screamers' do-it-different ethos, if not their use of synths specifically, like Gobschite and Fat & Fucked Up.
hey hey let's not forget P-Model, early DAF (later DAF is great too but not really very "punk"), Metal Urbain, and the Beatnigs
Thanks miodlipowy for posting this excellent and pioneering song. I actually think the low fi quality adds to the creepiness of the subject matter.
still have a glass television, no pxelshit, philips and works all the time, like this music....
Great tune.
These rare videos man its mindblowing! Thank u so much for posting this, u guys are heroes
Nothing like them before or since.They must have been a genuine shock to the system in their time.
amazing video from a legendary band! I need to do some synthpunk now and get a 70s video camera!
glad to see ya got this back on soz didnt reply couldnt do the file share but thanx
Feckin' righteous. With the red glove on!
Seattle post-punk band the A Frames have a good song called Eva Braun worth a listen too, different vibe but just as dark.
I think I was at that show. I was a big fan of the Screamers and I went to most punk/no wave shows I could find in those days... I remember the TVs but it might have been from a different show. They went through plenty of changes. No pun intended.
Criminally underrappreciated band, like Toronto's The Government

I've found on my hard drive video of "Eva" with better sound, gonna try merging good audio with good quality of image.
Do it pls

These guys are way beyond being just another Punk Band. This sounds like Throbbing Gristle, but musical!

best of electro punk
I wonder, who influenced who? Devo, Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Klaus Nomi, Gary Numan, Pere Ubu, The Screamers...
The more new Band has a similla style
Emberdin Do you mean the US band, Brand New?
no i mean "the network" its an american neo new wave band.
The Network is really Green Day. If you mean some other band, can you send me a link? Tx!
bonicon1
The members of greenday are in the network, but some other people too.The name and the style is diferent. So its not green day.
epic track
So good......
a way ahead in time back then.
Great!

Punk Rock! LA Scene unknown like atlas obscura###
REAL; PUNK ROCK WAS TO DECRIBE THE THE REAL PUNK BANDS THAT HAD NO GUITARS JUST KEYBOARDS .
@miodlipowy i like the quality of the image :)
exactly!
Underrated...
The Ily's - Specialized
@das81 Most of their Gabriel era material is still ingeniously brilliant
0:32
Feel Good Hit of the Summer?
You talkin The Bananas? I kinda hear it
The Freakin Family Guy No, I was referring to the song by Queens of the Stone Age
this is Punk Rock...
😍
Is there a complete version, from start to finish, of Eva Braun at UCLA without it cutting at the end?
@bonicon the screamers
Who shot this video?
Google "The Screamers - The Complete Works minus 2" for the best mp3 comp available!

the stage with her jet black hair and red glove

Anyone else thinks Tomata looks a bit like Tom Waits in this clip?
He has a clone by the name of Steve Naylor, he hides out in different rubber rooms between California and Washington.
PIty bout the utube quality, you can tell that'd be some fat-as-fuck synth sound.
honestly the distortion and noise on this is actually a second layer of art value
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
mince alors !
It's as though Gary Numan huffed tiny bottle of "Rush Liquid Insence."
Gary Numan was not around then.
@@niclawson1520 tubeway army formed in 1977 so he was around

rad
This is less pretentious than TG. Indeed, Genesis is kinda snob.
people just don't appreciate art anymore. All they are into is cheap mindless pop crap -_-
