In our continuing series of live bootlegs of Fresno musicians, we finally bring you something sweet and innocent. Or is it?
Judge for yourself by listening to our bootleg of Fresno's own Abigail Nolte singing and playing guitar at Tokyo Garden.
*The song may or may not be called "beautiful" - I wouldn't know because I bootlegged this yo and I'm to lame to just straight up ask.
I never got Merced band El Olio Wolof. I saw them at Starline. Didn't get. I saw them at Babylon. Nothin'. "What's the big deal?" is a stupid question I would ask to nobody in particular.
Maybe I just needed a venue change because I saw a version of El Olio at Tokyo Garden recently and finally got them. I think the T Garden's atmosphere fit the music better or something...I dunno. Wolof singer "Radioactive Cauliflower" has a cracked genius way about his songwriting that I really dug.
The point is, I really liked what I heard and I'm on board the Merced indie-train. A train that leaves this month for a short summer tour of the states. A tour that will have Malcolm Sosa playing keyboards. You can hear what that might sound like with our exclusive bootleg clip from Tokyo Garden of a stripped down version of El Olio Wolof playing "A Fire Breathing Dragon":
Time for more bootleggin' in Fresno. This time it's Fresno's punk boys It'll Grow Back. This was recorded at the Dorktown Three Year Party. It's raw and I mean that in every way: sound quality and f-bombs (from the crowd and the band). Not very safe for work or your kid (Earmuffs, all you have to say is earmuffs).

What's Fresno Bootlegs? We record a live song from a local band (without permission - don't tell, bitches) and BANG, we have a bootleg to give you.
This time we have a song and an interview with Reedley band, Tokyo Death March. We did get permission for the interview but lets just stick with the bit people. Don't forget, Tokyo is playing our podcast's three year anniversary show Tuesday night at Starline.

TDM TALKS TO US: Listen to Tokyo Death March Interview
Our first installment of a live bootlegged song from a Fresno band was indie favorite, Rademacher. We keep it
Fresno indie for our second song. It's an unnamed (to us anyway) song from Brother Luke & The Comrades - a side project of the singer from Circles and Circles.
Enjoy the conversations and live bootleggie...ness from Starline on June 3rd: Listen to BrotherLuke.mp3
We'd like to begin a new segment for The Fresnan called "Bootlegged In Fresno". We'll get some random, legally questionable, Fresno audio and post it.
Our first victims? Fresno Indie Rock kings Rademacher. Victims because it's not straight-from-the-board quality, it's kind-of-little-bit-sorta-illegal-bootleg quality. And it comes from Saturday night's Undercurrent party.

Hey, what the hell, let's throw in some bootleg video too. Rademacher's "If U Got Some Magic":
