Excellent stories Mark! I love that Bomer played the whole album on drums by memory then turned out the bass tracks too! What a monster!!

I really hope the RKL reunion with Tony Foresta from M.W helps bring a resurgence to RKL. They're kinda like the hardcore version of the Velvet Underground. Not many people bought their records. But everyone that did started a band after listening to them.

Great comment ! Many influential bands fly far under the radar but still make a difference to those who are really listening.

Every once in a while that KZfaq Algorithm actualy does its job! RKL should have been so much more successful! I think I was 16, when I Had the chance to see rhem here in Germany; the same year when they made this masterpiece! Thanks for this Video and RiP Jason and Bomer..😢

I feel drugs sabotaged many great bands and they were no exception. We still have the records, and that is cool.

I first saw you on a Melvins clip, about 13-14 years ago. I then learned your name. I was pretty surprised to find out that you did the production for the RKL album, while i was researching it 3-4 years ago. Now i see this video and i'd like to thank you for posting it and sharing all this information I wanted an in-depth look for this album from the guys that made it, and i've only found an interview with Chris Rest talking about it. Thank you very much and i subscribed!

@@MarkDeutromI saw them in Belgium just a couple of days before they played the show in Berlin that got recorded & released as a live album. They had this new bass player who was probably 18 or so & just tore it up. My mate got his nose broke at the show too during RKL's set as the "pit" was so intense.

Montecito has been an enclave for the rich since the beginning of the 20th century. There's a lady named Pearl Chase (Heir to Chase Manhattan Bank) that kind of created the culture around that. She was so wealthy that when Santa Barbara had an earthquake and fire in 1925, she paid to rebuild the city out of her own pocket. I grew up in SB with those guys and believe me it has been a very wealthy neighborhood for as long as anybody's been alive on this planet.

@MarkDeutrom 5 күн бұрын

Thanks for that. I'm always interested in weird old histories of people, places and things. I want to read a book about Pearl Chase now. Sounds like she was pretty cool.

Do you remember Rhythm & Brews in Indio? My old band played with you guys and Acid King there once. Anyways, I am 90% sure Doug Moody showed up there one night in a bath robe. Thanks for the RKL location thing, I've always been confused cause I thought they were Oxnard, but when I moved to S.F. in 96, people talked about them as being local

I have always loved RKL since I discovered them in the early 90s...but, I always felt that they would have been better with a different singer. Sure, you could say that Jason made them unique.. but in my opinion, the vocals held them back. Those guys rippped..especially Bomer and Chris...and later, Little Joe. Just think of how incredible they would have been with their crazy musicianship and 'real' vocals..

@MarkDeutrom 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for that...this is much like imagining movies with different actors. Things can always be better, but if you change one element you have something completely different ! Most of this kind of music is about documenting the feeling at a particular moment in time, and this record definitely succeeds in doing that at the very least.
