What was the first Skin Yard gig?
Our first gig was on June 7th, 1985. We opened for the “U-men leave home” show at the Odd Fellows Hall here in Seattle. U-men headlined. Other bands on the bill included Girl Trouble, the F-holes, and Baba Yaga. Prior to that, there had been a series of basement party gigs, but the “U-men leave home” show was the first official gig for us in front of a paying audience.
