AVAIL
The very first out-of-town-band gig at the Ryland house featured AVAIL. I had never heard of 'em, but saw an ad in MRR asking for help on their tour. I was fuckin blown away. That was in 93 or 94, can't remember exactly when.

 

AVAIL is an awesome band of awesome people. This photo was taken by Jen-Angel at the Living Room in Santa Barbara in summer '95. (One of AVAIL's best shows, and I've seen them tons of times).









This pic was taken by me at The Loft in Sacramento in January of '95. A sad evening for me, because they were supposed to play the basement the night before but couldn't make it cuz of snow. I was glad to be there, but sad cuz I thought that AVAIL was the type of band kids in Reno NEED to see. Great show though...
