If you have never heard this band then you should definitely check them out, after all it's new and free!
This tape was recorded live and sold at the Five Corners Saloon in the west bank area of Minneapolis, where the band had a Wednesday night gig for a good while. This is transferred from one of the original tapes that looked like a professionally made dub with photo of an enthusiastic crowd and song list.
The story I heard was that when the bar started running out of tapes they would just copy what they had until one day someone sold the last tape. Apparently the masters are missing too. This transfer that I did was copied and given to some of the band members also as I was told as they didn't have a copy themselves back when they still had a Hoopsnakes webpage. That was about four or five years ago.
Their first album came out in 1987? Which was just called Hoopsnakes and includes a song called Live At The Five and some of the songs played here were redone in the studio for that album.
With the exception of Who Will The Next Fool Be, Think, and Wine Spodee-odee these are excellent Bruce McCabe originals and it's a shame that they didn't reach a wider audience.
