Nasty Old Thrashing Alcoholics

I posted the below info here, and I wanted to also post it on my journal and maybe expand on it a little:
Ah, yes. NOTA in the '90s. I saw (nearly) every show. I drank with Jeff (singer/guitar) and Martin (bass/production/backup vocals) somewhat regularly at the same (crappy) watering hole. I recorded 3 crappy demos in the same space they cut their '90s material, and there was always at least a dozen crushed beer cans in sight in Martin's basement studio.
My last band (before I gave up on the punk scene) got to use all their gear. Their drums, Jeff's huge marshall rig, and Martin recorded us right there in their studio. We sucked, but they were so kind and supportive - and Jeff even did some background vocals for our demo. If we'd stuck together, it might have been a good story to tell the grandkids. But it was not to be.
Alas, I will never forget the heyday of the early '90s when NOTA, Concept of Nonsense and several other really good hardcore bands kept Tulsa from being the boring fucking place it is now. I would love to see all of that happen again. I'd be front and center.
( you can hear some of their material here)

I went and saw these guys several times when I was a teenager. I had one of their tapes and listened to it constantly!
