Why davis80smusic? Why now? Who the fuck am I?


 I lived in Davis, California 1978-82. While attending UCD, I enjoyed the eclectic campus radio station, KDVS, saw amazing rock shows at the UCDavis Coffee House (Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, Devo) and occasionally photographed the local music scene.
 
 Recent reconnections with friends and acquaintances from that scene inspired this site - as a resource both for the curious and for folks who were there. True West has reunited for some gigs; a lot of folks from the 80s Davis music scene are on MySpace and YouTube; most of the prime musical movers continue to play and record. It seems like there's a place for a site with this focus.
 
 If you have - or know anyone who has - photos, flyers, MP3s or videos from the early 80's Davis music scene I'd love to hear from you.

 Enjoy.
