TSOI generally isn’t very needy, but we’re looking for some help here. We’re trying to track down the original taper of this UOA show. If you know anyone from the Nebraska scene who might have an idea of who shot this, drop us an e-mail or mention it in the comments. Thanks a bunch! The clip is awesome BTW…

Universal Order of Armageddon – Flux
New Orleans, LA
1994?
Generally we post a live set on Monday, but today I wanted to get something up in the wake of all the feedback about how awesome the Universal Order of Armageddon show(s) on the east coast were this past weekend. For how great the Southern California punk rock scene was back in the early-to-mid ’90s, there have been far too few reunion shows of these great bands. On the contrary, the east coast has been KILLING me with reunion after reunion of bands I would love to have seen play again. Recent performances by 1.6 Band, Rorschach, and this past weekend, UOA, have all been reported to be absolutely amazing and all have been missed by me. Granted I was lucky enough to have caught UOA on their first go-around nearly 20 (20!?!) years ago, but I would love to have been at Death By Audio last night to witness it. So I’m hoping the reunion show bug will hit SoCal in the very near future. I’m looking at you Gravity Records bands (Yeah, I know, technically UOA is a Gravity Records band, but you know what I mean).
Universal Order Of Armageddon – Flux

By request, Baltimore’s finest playing a show outside of Chicago in ’93. I saw them about a week later in South Dakota and they played a very short but great set.
Even though Universal Order Of Armageddon played thirteen minute sets, they were a fantastic live band. I’m not sure where this recording is from, but it was recorded live in 1994 and was originally released on their Kill Rock Stars 12″. Also, the photo is ripped off from the Jade Tree site (it was the only live pic. I could find on the interweb) and was shot by the amazingly talented Shawn Scallen.
