Enjoy the ONLY Live Squirrel Bait Video Ever: “Sun God” Live 1985
Squirrel Bait—a band of teenagers from Louisville, Kentucky that formed in 1983—put out two of my favorite records of the 80s (Squirrel Bait and Skag Heaven) and were part of one the best punk shows I ever witnessed at City Gardens (1986, I think). The bill also included the Descendents, Agent Orange, and Volcano Suns. Crazy good lineup, right? Yup, amazing show.
So, looking to relive part of my youth, I have spent countless hours in the past 10 years seeking any footage of Squirrel Bait playing live and I have always come up empty… until yesterday when guitarist David Grubbs tweeted this:
