Gizmos Garage - 1980, Channel 4 studios - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jun 12, 2017
DESCRIPTION:
Bloomington, Indiana's Gizmos (mk. II) recorded a video session at the local Channel 4 studios just before they moved to New York City. Here's the whole thing! Bits and pieces of this have been uploaded as individual songs in the past, often with the tag of "simulated garage rockin' "

I have a request out to Dale for commentary and corrections, and am sure he'll be along presently.

I do not recall where or how I first obtained this footage, but it was online, more than a decade ago. I nearly immediately took it and remastered it into a DVD (more or less for practice with the form) and sent copies to the mark II Gizmos I had contact info for - Dale, Tim, and Billy.

Eventually bits and pieces of the footage started showing up on YouTube, usually individual songs. I seem to recall at the time YT had a length restriction on uploads.

Dale contacted me today asking if I had a copy of the "Dead Astronauts" cut from the shoot, and while I did not have it cut as its own thing, I did have this, so here it is.

RIP Billy Nightshade, you giant loon and sweetheart of a man.

I hope to amend this to include Dale's thoughts when he passes them along. Enjoy.
