I was gonna post about this comp., but I see someone else did. It's a great compilation, and there are a few Dishrags songs I haven't heard in a long time ("I Don't Love You" being the one I somehow remember, bizarre). Definately worth getting if you wanna hear songs you haven't heard in awhile. - Tue, 22 Feb 2005 9:11pm

yes the Dishrags where from Central Sannich originally but you can imagine the state of the mainstream music scene in Victoria back then.... They had to go to Vancouver where the shit was goin down! I'm so glad these bands broke the stale music scene of the 70's... they made rock acsessable again.. put some energy back into it. Punk brought it back to the ground level!

I do have documentation of the Dishrags and DOA playing at the Dominion hall in Esquimalt in oct 1978...

For those wondering about the Victoria Underground music documentation... 1978-84. its still being plugged away on. we have another lay-out artist so we will see how this progresses now... it's a great project but alot of work! 100 page book complimented with two CDs of music. 48 bands of music, gig posters, biographys, photos, and more. Be patient... i know its been a long haul with big hybernation periods.

How is Terry B? I haven't seen her in over 10 years and wish her well. Say hi from little Dave! One of my favorite gigs from back then was when we played with DOA at OAP Dec 94. Joey and gang were a riot. Their favorite drink at the time? 4-litre plastic milk jugs filled with Tequila and Pink Grapefruit juice - they shared freely! - Thu, 24 Feb 2005 4:22pm
