Reflections of FOE #2:
- Thank you to Skate (Brent Burke) and Scott Andrews who were main contributors.
- FOE #2 was the first of the amazing covers by Sue Coyle. From this point forward FOE's covers featured those who had a talent for creating great visuals. I thank Sue and all the artists I got to work with over the years.
- 7 Seconds interview by Scott.
- Only issue #2 and already FOE was in touch with various record labels and other scenes. Everyone was desperate to talk to each other back then! Those 22 cent stamps really irked me!
- Lehigh Valley shows were in full effect. Bodies In Panic, Dead Milkmen, Homo Picnic, Circle of Shit, Pleased Youth, Decry, AOD, Bedlam, and FOD. Youth Brigade cancelled!
- Decry, Dead Milkmen, Pleased Youth, Russian Meatsquats, Youthful Agression - yup, Johnny Generic was right, this was the first West Catty Playground show, 11/18/84. Next up FOD, YA, Constraint, Russian Meatsquats 12/23/84 and AOD & Bedlam 1/12/85 (I was so nervous about losing money setting up this show).
- Nearby shows killed:
- Suicidal Tendencies, Fang, 76% Uncertain, Pleased Youth 9/30/84
- Husker Du, McRad, Dead Milkmen 10/7/84
- Government Issue, Dr. Know 10/13/84
- I loved that Futile Effort cassette tape.
