#6 Kidd Death
I saw Kidd Death a couple of times in Sioux City. Once at the Kings Court and the other was opening for FEAR at I think the Sioux City Convention Center. Kidd Death opened and then this band called the Skatenigs played. They were awful. The singer had a fake penis filled with some sort goo that he proceeded to squirt all over the crowd. Then FEAR played. I just remember thinking that they weren’t anything like what they were on the Decline of the Western Civilization video. But they were old.
This 7″ is amazing. Seeing Kidd Death was always memorable. Pete always had his sidekick on stage with him. I don’t remember his name but they would always do some sort of butt dance together. Pete since has left Sioux City and moved to Seattle. He plays in a band called Sioux City Pete and the Beggars. Same kind of stuff you expect from Pete. Great rock and roll. Sioux City won’t be the same, maybe a little cleaner.

Just a minor correction. Kidd Death wasn’t the band that had the dong squirting something out of it. That was the Skate Nigs. Kidd Death was the very first band, then the Skate Nigs, then Fear.

The Skatenigs were total rockstar dicks. I remember the stage at the fear show being very high up and the lights very bright. Lee Ving and Philo were cool and very approachable, did I mention that the Skatenigs were dicks and their music sucked?
