doughboys - a pair of live recordings and more

canada's doughboys were certainly a major force in the powerpop punk movement of the late-80s through the mid-90s. touring constantly and putting out some of the most melodic and lyrically potent albums of the genre. i've been lucky enough to catch all systems go in their early incarnation doing both doughboys and big drill car covers, a band that featured members of both aforementioned bands, but unfortunately i never caught a doughboys show. always having been a big fan of their records, this misfortune leaves me scouring the net for any infos at all, of which there are not many. with the advent of youtube, we're treated to a few videos which trickled in slowly one by one since the site's inception. a record label has acknowledged the info gap and created a website for the now defunct band, but it seems to be ill-maintained and some of it's pages are no longer working. there's also a fan-created myspace page, which seems to be somewhat more well-kept.
here we have two rare live recordings of the doughboys. the first of which was recorded by a friend of mine at the show on a hand held tape recorder. i THINK this show was at the anthrax in connecticut, but i'm not certain, so there is no other info aside from the date, which i have no way to confirm either.
the second recording i dug up over on a certain p2p file-sharing network, and have no other infos than the supposed date and location.

the doughboys have inspired an entire generation of bands. too numerous to name, but bands wearing the influence on their sleeves are sure to be on the better side of the pop-punk fence. two long-defunct bands i recently found, that reside on the aforementioned greener pasture, have myspace pages created but again, i'm hard-pressed for any other information about them on the internet. check out these bands, and if you have any more info, please let me know!!
