Anasarca
Minnesota Punk Fest
The Great Hall, UMN
Minneapolis, MN
6/29/96
The singer for Anasarca contacted me a while ago and wanted a copy of this show so I decided to put it up here as The Monday Set. A warning to all, the sound on this recording is all over the place. The Minneapolis Punk Fest in 1996 took place in the Great Hall on the University of Minnesota campus. This recording came off the soundboard but unlike most soundboard recordings, this one is pretty horrible. The space was huge and since every band only got 20 minutes to set up with no sound check and 20 minutes to play, the mixing was done on the fly which is very evident. It’s still an interesting recording of a great band and includes two songs I don’t recognize.
Setlist:
1. East Bunk Hill
2. Unknown Track
3. Unknown Track
4. Eugene Debs

This song is from the Minneapolis Punk Fest in 1996. My friend Megan was from Washington D.C. and we were lucky enough to get her to convince Anasarca to schedule their tour around playing the fest. As far as all the bands that played, I was looking forward to seeing Anasarca the most. They were a fantastic live band and it’s too bad they only released 2 seven inches before breaking up. A few years ago Second Nature released a discography cd that includes both seven inches and their demo cassette. I would certainly recommend tracking it down.
