Of course, this site wouldn't be possible without the generosity of several people. Without them, this site would not exist. Nor would this site be here if not for these people. Dig?

Ahh, Andy Falconetti.....a longtime friend and one of the nicest (and well-connected) people here in Denver. Andy generously loaned me all of his flyers and fanzines to scan for this site. A lot of the material from 1983 through 1985 was pack-ratted by him. Check out his band, Breezy Porticos, who (thankfully) sounds nothing like Nig Heist.

This photo was taken by Duane Davis, co-owner of Wax Trax Records here in Denver, and is from the April, 1984 Black Flag, Meat Puppets, Nig Heist show at the Rainbow. Check out more olde tyme punk rock photos at the Wax Trax site.

Joseph Pope.....there aren't enough kind words I could use to describe Joseph, suffice to say he's a good friend and without a doubt one of the nicest people I have ever come across. Joe spent his teens in Boulder and hauled equipment for The Ravers and Nightflames before forming the Instants with his brother Jon (who hates punk rock to this day) in 1978. Many of the fliers from 1977-1979 were graciously donated by him. He and Jon were also two-thirds of the SST band ANGST.

Mike Serviolo -- Another friend I've known for a long time, Mike was kind enough to dig through a huge box full of memorabelia from 1980 on and loan me flyers and fanzines relevant to this website. The number of musical projects Mike has been involved with over the years is somewhat staggering -- Local Threat, Peace Core, The Core, Acid Ranch, Jux County, Elan, IZ, and Perry Weissman 3, and probably others that I'm forgetting. Drop by his myspace pages for IZ and ELAN and say 'howdy'!

This photo is courtesy of Eric Oberhausen, bass player for Bum Kon, and was snapped outside the June 1982 Black Flag & Saccharine Trust show at the Mercury Cafe.

Michael Moore -- You might remember him from such movies as Roger & Me, and Fahrenheit 9/11, but back in the late 70s and early 80s Micheal was present at most gigs here in Denver and he has the flyers to prove it. (Actually, Michael played in the Soul Merchants - but I don't have a picture of him, so the other Michael Moore is playing the part.) A lot of the material from 1980 and 1981 was kindly loaned by Michael. Thanks!

Matt Bischoff -- Matt has been around seemingly forever, and has played with Annex Red, White Trash, The Frantix, The Fluid, '57 Lesbian, Boss 302, and the Dumbass Bros., among others. A few years back he loaned me a huge stack of Frantix and Fluid flyers that he dug out of his garage. A super swell guy -- I believe I owe him many beers.

This photo was taken at a 1987 Fluid show in Chicago, and is courtesy of Nadablog. From left to right are Matt, Ricky Kulwicki, Gary Shavlik, John Robinson, and James Clower (sorry James!).

John Haley -- John was smitten with punk rock circa 1982-3 when we were in Boy Scouts together -- I was in 9th grade and he was in 11th grade. He would have let me scan anything he had....alas, his parents threw away the box containing all of his flyers, fanzines, correspondence and setlists. Fortunately, he still had this ticket stub. John spends a lot of his time these days pounding metal -- and he has a really fancy website HERE.

Chris Murdock -- I first met Chris back in 1995 when he loaned me a stack of Defex flyers to copy. At the time my company had a fairly cheap scanner and I was too cheap to pay for high-res color scans, so most of the Defex flyers herein are low-res black and white. We've sorta lost touch, but I believe Chris still lives and works in Boulder. Maybe I'll hit him up to borrow them again someday for better scans.
