SPEEDWAY, SALT LAKE CITY, 1988
TRIGGER RECORDING SESSION WITH IAN MACKAYE AT INNER EAR
SOULSIDE WAS A BAND FROM WASHINGTON, DC, THAT FORMED IN 1986 AND BEGAN RECORDING AND TOURING AS PART OF THE DC HARDCORE PUNK DISCHORD RECORDS SCENE OF THE MID-1980S. WE TOURED EXTENSIVELY THROUGH THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AND FINALLY EUROPE. OUR RELEASES TRIGGER AND HOT BODI-GRAM ARE CONSIDERED MILESTONE RECORDS BY SOME. WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST US HARDCORE BANDS TO TOUR IN EASTERN EUROPE BEFORE THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL IN 1989. HOT BODI-GRAM WAS RECORDED IN EINDHOVEN (IN THE NETHERLANDS) AT THE END OF OUR FINAL TOUR, AND WOULD BE OUR SWAN SONG.
STARTING AS LÜNCHMEAT, WE RECORDED AT BLACK POND AND INNER EAR IN 1985 AND RELEASED A SPLIT 7” WITH MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ON AMANDA MACKAYE’S SAMMICH RECORDS. CHRIS THOMSON DEPARTED THE BAND NOT TOO LONG AFTER WE RECORDED OUR FIRST ALBUM UNDER THE NAME SOULSIDE.
SCOTT’S PARENTS’ BASEMENT, WASHINGTON, DC, 1987
JOHNNY TEMPLE JOINED THE BAND IN 1987 AND WE TAUGHT HIM THE BASICS OF PLAYING WHILE SITTING ON VARIOUS OBJECTS LIKE TOILETS
CROSSING THE BORDER WEARING 18 DIFFERENT-COLORED SHIRTS WHILE FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHING . . . DO NOT DO THESE THINGS. THEY ARE DUMB THINGS TO DO.
SOMETIMES WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE NOT-SO-TOUGH WEAR A LOT OF T-SHIRTS. ON THIS PARTICULAR LEG OF OUR TOUR, WE WISELY DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GET T-SHIRTS IN EVERY COLOR THE T-SHIRT COMPANY OFFERED. WHEN WE SNUCK ACROSS THE CANADIAN BORDER WITH OUR UNDECLARED MERCH, WE EACH WORE ABOUT 18 T-SHIRTS. WE COULD BARELY MOVE OUR ARMS AND OUR RAINBOW-COLORED COLLARS WERE A DEAD GIVEAWAY THAT WE WERE SCOFFLAWS OR FASHION TRENDSETTERS.
