DESCRIPTION:
The Mr. T Experience – She's Not a Flower - Berkeley, Live, The Lookouting: A Celebration of Lookout Records, Day 3, 1-7-17, 1st row, 924 Gilman. Many of the bands reunited just for this sold-out 4-day festival.



Other Tidbits:

“When Lookout! Records began in 1987, it documented the newly emerging underground punk-rock scene based around the all-ages 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, Calif.. Green Day and Operation Ivy are the best-known exponents of that early local scene, and as the label grew, it was very successful releasing records by bands outside that area or scene. As has been well-documented elsewhere, the label declined and finally faded out in the mid-2000s. It may be gone, but Lookout! Records bands are still remembered fondly by many.

On January 1, 6, 7 and 8, 2017, a number of these bands are gathering to play at Gilman Street, in an event called The Lookouting: A Celebration Of Lookout Records: 23 bands are scheduled to play over four days.

What’s interesting is that the organizers asked a number of the early, more obscure bands to play, and many have re-formed to do so. Some haven’t played shows in more than 25 years. Many released only singles, never got around to making albums; others did make albums, and were popular locally, but did not catch on nationally. Most of the “name” bands from the label aren’t playing; many that are playing don’t fit the “pop/punk” tag for which the label is best known. I love the grassroots aspect of the lesser-known bands dominating the lineup, though some of them have cult followings that will be thrilled to see them play.”

Larry Livermore, who cofounded Lookout Records, was also there meeting fans and signing copies of his book ‘How to Ru(i)n a Record Label: The Story of Lookout Records’. Dr. Frank also signed my Lookouting poster after the show, which was very nice.
