1983,
Albuquerque. This was part of a two city road trip taken by Conflict
in the depth of winter, the other city being Denver. Jerry's Kidz (not
to be confused with Boston's Jerry's Kids) were a primo local skate
punk band who had a half pipe built in their backyard. The gig was held
in some strange tiny space in the back of a lock shop, the "Bash and Mash" (thanks Sleep!). The scene there
was small and even tighter than that of Tucson's at the time, really
refreshing. I remember this really big guy coming through the door with
about 5 cases of cheap beer stacked in his arms and being tackled by
everyone there, boys, girls, laughing, beer cans flying. It was an excellent
time. Conflict crashed on one of Jerry's Kidz' floor that night, with
Grandmaster Flash on the stereo.
