Damnation (was Re: 80's night playlist)

No, I didn't mean that we did Damnations in 1990-91.
They were in 94-96 I think.
What I meant was that Bill Matscherz, the Upstage manager who was there
during the 'live show' era of 1990-91 (KMFDM, Young Gods, And Also The
Trees, Helmet, Fugazi and many more) was *still there* in 1995 or 96
when we did the Damnations. That was all I meant. He was a familiar
face.
The Damnations did precede Ceremony.
