Just like most college rock bands, Bone Sauce got its first taste for performing live by entering a campus sponsored talent show. We actually entered two talent shows at PSU. We won the first show in 1990, which inspired us to try again the next year.

Now 1991 was kind of a strange period for music. We had just started to switch from playing garage inspired metal to punk inspired rock. We didn't have a name for it but by the end of the year we were being described as alternative.

Some still frames of us playing the show:



Me playing guitar. We were still going by The Does Cows, which is why I am wearing a tee with a cow on it. I am also sporting a backwards Vision skate ballcap.



Justice on bass. You can see that Justice has Does Cows written on his bass. He's also sporting a popular tee from that period, the Ren and Stimpy tee.



Bram on guitar and Baker playing drums. Baker had split to go to school in Texas, but we roped him back in to play this show.

In any case, we were the only alternarockers. The other acts were either hair metal left overs or hip-hop acts, both of which were more popular in 1991. In the end a hip-hop act with a Vanilla Ice type front man (Ice was popular at the time) and an awesome 1991 rhyme style won.

Since the DVD will feature BS stuff only, I figured I'd post a clip of the act that beat us. Here they are spitting, State The Facts. As they point out, their rhymes are "energetic, exquisite and poetic," but only "somewhat aesthetic." So just sit back, enjoy, and as they recommend, "don't sweat it."
