"TEXAS IS AN OUTRAGE WHEN YOUR HUSBAND IS DEAD, TEXAS IS AN OUTRAGE WHEN THEY PICK UP HIS HEAD!"

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-set of American horror/hardcore punk band THE MISFITS (with BIG BOYS and OFFENDERS supporting), performing live at The Ritz Theatre, Austin, TX, on January 29, 1983. 📸: Bill Daniel.

ROMAN CANDLE MAGAZINE: "Whether it was hardcore or skating or bike messengers… you documented those things quite early on when they were still very fringe scenes. What’s it like looking back at it all now?"

BILL DANIEL: "As a photographer I’m not someone who shoots a lot. I’ve been shooting a long time, but I quit shooting bands in ’84, so it just stops there. There’s only 327 rolls of film of the punk stuff… so there’s not much. But yeah, in that batch I’m always finding things I’ve never noticed before -- those hidden gems I missed.

Because I’ve been printing and looking at these photos for such a long time, in a sense, all the people in my photos… they’re still 21 years old."

SAMHAIN TOURS IN '84, BUT BIG BOYS PULL THE PLUG AT THIS VERY SHOW.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a show flyer and/or gig poster for SAMHAIN headlining with BIG BOYS and CRIMINAL CREW supporting, live at Liberty Lunch, Austin, TX, on September 23, 1984.

PART II: Also featured here, the late, great Randy “Biscuit” Turner also during the BIG BOYS last show, Liberty Lunch, September 1984. 📸: Pat Blashill.

Man, I knew the BB had played with THE MISFITS way back when, but I never guessed that they also played with SAMHAIN this late into 1984. Wow, this is news to me, and I've never seen this flyer before, either! Anyway, I've always known that BB broke up in '84, but I never knew they held out this long into 1984 before deciding to pull the plug on the whole thing. R.I.P. (1977-1983) MISFITS & BIG BOYS (1979-1984).
