Here you will find various recordings which Dave had done with his TEAC 4 Track, TEAC PC-10 Cassette Deck, and other things which Dave had created.I am also looking for pictures of Dave and pictures of any of the bands playing on these reels.
I would also ask for Bio's on the Bands too.If any of the musician's do not want their music here you can reach me thru FB or thru my email of jordan@maine.rr.xxx xxx = com of course.
FB Contact = https://www.facebook.com/jordan.kratz
Anything not working shoot me a message.Once again if a band does not want any stuff here shoot me a message and I will take it down.And if a band wants to put stuff here I am totally cool with that and will host whatever you need.If any of these ask for a password please use "punkpal" .

I have long wanted to do something like this as I wanted to allow the World to hear the Scene we all were a part of........the MOST AWESOME BOSTON ROCKIN' SCENE ! All of us had a blast in the old scene.Lots of great shows and great bands.The old Clubs like The Rat, Cantones, The Space,The Birdcage (HAR HAR HAR) !!! AWESOME TIMES !

Tech Tips & Tricks
I have the following tips and info for you on the Audio being posted here as I am an Audio Tech Person.First of all the Audio posted here is on the levelof Blu-Ray Audio.It is all 24BIT with 96k Sampling Rate.This is high definition Audio as CD Audio is only 16BIT with 44.1k Sampling.With these you will be able to make CD's, Make any kind of lossy mp3 etc audio, or listen to this as meant in high definition sound.There is a lot of info easily found on this subject.The FORMAT IS FLAC.Flac is lossless audio equals the source audio so the best sound I can give.
If you need help to play these on a Computer use VLC MEDIA PLAYER.Works with all operating systems and is open source.
If you are on Windows and want an excellent Music Library program way better than iTunes trash is foobar2000 with the Dark One Mod/Skin.Plays nearly anything........also a lot of plugins to extend to doing even more.TOP NOTCH.
This is your TECH SUPPORT.I give out no more.use google or ask a friend please.

                                             WE NEED MORE STUFF ! OPEN YER ARCHIVES !
One thing we need here is more photos of Dave and of the old Scene.Also we could use some good Bios.If you play in one of the Bands please write me a Bio and I will put it here for you.I thank all of you in advance.
                                               VERY EASY TO GRAB FILES & PLAY THEM
NOTE: Grab the files I put by the tapes...you will need all the parts.You will get a zip archive which is easy to work with.Save files to your hard drive and then open the archive up.Very simple and easy for you to do.

            Bonjour Aviators - Fury In My Eyes Single and Bonus Song

                          
                                            
 bonjour2.zip

                         Bonjour Aviators Bio from Fred Pineau
The Bonjour Aviators track is titled "I Wanna Go To A Party", and it was written and sung by Kim Preston, who was obviously in the Aviators Bonjour Aviators were: Kim Preston: Guitar, keyboards, & vocals John Shriver: Bass guitar, vocals Kevin Graves: Drums (Kevin was one of the drummers for Blue Cheer) Fred Pineau: Guitar, vocals Kim and I wrote the songs, and toward the end of the band we did a song written by John Shriver as well. I put the band together in 1975. Kevin and John lived a few streets over from me in Brookline, Ma. I can't remember how I met Kim, but someone hooked us up and he fit right in. I believe that Kim had come to Boston to go to college. Kim was also one of two black men in rocks bands in Boston at that time, the other being Jon Butcher. We slogged along as there were almost no clubs in Boston that would book original bands at that time. I wrote "Boston City Limits" in 1973 as a response to the fact that club patrons all seemed to want to hear "Colour My World" and songs of that ilk rather than original Rock & Roll. I never should have recorded that song as the scene had changed at that point, but it's 20/20 hindsight at this point. Kim grew up in NYC, and one of his best friends was Richard Lloyd of Television. Richard told us about two NY clubs that were booking original bands, CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. He was good enough to get us gigs in both clubs beginning in 1975, and we were, I believe, he first Boston band to play those rooms. We were constantly going back and forth to NYC, staying at either the Chelsea Hotel or in Terry Ork's loft - He was the manager of Television. When we stayed at Terry's loft, I would wake up every morning to a life size poster on the wall in front of the mattress that I was sleeping on of Iggy Pop, naked and full frontal. I so needed coffee after that......Once we were there in the middle of the winter, and it was freezing! Terry hadn't paid the heating bill, so there was no heat in the loft. It had a fireplace, so we broke up every stick of furniture in the place and burned it to stay warm. It ended with us tearing the fireplace mantel off the wall, breaking it up, and burning it. We played with Talking Heads, Television, Tuff Darts, The Dead Boys, and many others when the NY scene was just getting going. Hilly Crystal was a gas, and it was a who's who of rock hanging out every night, from members of The Ramones to David Johansson to all of Blondie, etc., etc., etc.. I met John Cale at Max's - I was a huge Velvets fan, and he was a total asshole. I told him to fuck off. He didn't care. We did a 4 track basement recording of 4 of our songs that's been lost to the ages. I wish that I could lay my hands on it. Finally, The Rat and The Club opened and the Boston scene exploded. We brought Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers up to The Rat for a Friday and Saturday. Just Bonjour Aviators and them for both nights. It was a huge success and should have been the launching point for The Aviators. But we had personnel issues, and we parted company with Kim at the end of the second night. It was a huge mistake for both Kim and the rest of us as the band was never the same after that. The chemistry had been destroyed. We reformed with a second guitarist, Craig Covner, and a lead singer, Randall. We recorded the 45, and "The Fury In Your Eyes" got respectable airplay and was on The Rat's juke box. The band finally broke up about a year after the split with Kim. Our final show was at Dummy's on Commonwealth Ave., which later became The Paradise. Well, that's all that I can remember now! I'll fill in more as I remember it... Thanks again, Fred

And here we have a brand new thing I have done.Basically I took a reel which was labeled Rhythm Tracks May 1979 and I took the above reel for the May 1979 DIY Studio Project and married the two together like this:

Track 1 - Left Drums, Track 2 - Right Drums, Track 3 - Rhythm Guitar,Track 4 - Bass,Track 5 - Lead/Rhythm Overdub, Track 6 - Vocals.

The two tapes were running at slightly different speed and not timecoded so this has been 4-6 weeks of work to sync together.Should        be done now and it sounds really good.I hear everything from kick drum to the crispy cymbals.

HERE: The New 6 Track Expanded Re-Mix for the DIY Studio PRoject with Roger Tripp at the LaPeste Loft May 1979.
