Medicine – Never Click
New York City, NY
10/25/95
I just completed a trade with a friend up north who has one of the best live collections that I’ve come across. It never fails that when I get a package from him, there’s at least one amazing show. I haven’t had a chance to watch all the discs I’ve gotten, but I’m sure I’ll be posting a lot of new footage from them in the next couple of weeks. The highlight so far has been this amazing Medicine show from 1995. Whenever I think of Medicine I remember how much my mom hated the “Shot Forth Self Living” poster I had hanging on my wall with the two lions fucking. Such a great band….

LA’s Medicine were one of those bands that I liked from the instant I heard them. I remember picking up the “Shot Forth Self Living” record and being incredibly impressed. I think what I like about it the most is that it had the whole “Creation Records vibe” but still has a punk rock feel. Even though they were picked up by American, I don’t think they were ever given the proper attention they deserved. When I saw them play on “The Buried Life” tour, they played to a 350 capacity club which was half full. This Beach Boys cover comes from the B-Side of the “Never Click” EP.
