Lost Forest After Dark

Hell Yeah, I'm truly excited about this. As my time is limited right now, I will chime in soon with some real deal stories, etc. Let's get this party rolling... As the UGs might exclaim: DANCE of DIE!!

whoops.. DANCE or DIE !

oh yeah & "... unredeeming filth electronically spewed for the gyrating pleasure of minors.."

Urban Guerillas! Now this brings back fond memories of my misspent youth! This also brings to mind another sadly forgotten band, "E-Brown". For those of you who may not remember, this band included Matt Wilson soon to be founding member of Trip Shakespeare.

Hello Dean,

Rhonda hooked my up with your blog after the bridge incident. Wow, the Urban Guerillas - what memories although they are a bit hazy. Those sure were great times. I too would love to hear a song or two.

Wow, Maggie thanks for responding! I can't believe Rhonda has checked out this blog and hasn't even dropped one comment.

Let me know if you want the Urban Guerrilla's CD, I'll burn you a copy.

Hope things are going good with you in San Diego.

Freealonzo

You don't know me, but I found you from Jeff Thomps blog as I was at the Wilco show as well and ran into Jeff there.

Anyway, a couple of summers ago, there was an art show in Minneapolis that featured a bunch of photos taken at music events of the last 40 years.

Anyway, the Urban Guerrillas played at the show. So they are still around sort of. Thought you might like to know.

Hey - I remember the Urban Guerrillas shows - too much fun! I even got to see them play in NYC once! I would love a copy of the CD's as my tapes are very fuzzy now! It would be so much fun to see them play again. (Rhonda directed me here as well)

If you want a Urban Guerrillas CD e-mail me at freealonzo@comcast.com with your address.

I'm still shocked Rhonda has never commented on the blog, although I appreciate the references.

Hey Timmy, we need to get together and kick off this new website. Give me a call.

I would really like to get a CD copy of both the urban Guerrillas albums and would be happy to send you postage. My band the Prehistoric Jello Babies opened several shows with them back in the 80's including their record release party at First Ave for attack of the pink heat seeking moisture missiles. I have great memories of those days. The Guerrillas were one of the best bands to come out of that era and I wish they would do a reunion show. I spoke with lead singer and bass player Larry Sahagian several months back and he is doing well. If you are interested I have some good flyers, photos, ect from some of those shows that I would be happy to send you. Please email me at sthorp@thorpbrokerage.com. -Thanks

Hey, I commented once. (although I don't see it, perhaps I forgot to hit post). Forgive me, I don't get much computer time. When I saw the blog on UG's I remembered all those shows at Duffy's and had to alert Maggie and Mary.

I remember many frozen nights driving around looking for those shows. I can't even remember where now...some real 3-2 places I think as well as a few warehouse type things in downtown minneapolis. I have searched online a couple of times for them and found nothing. So this is a good start. They should throw those albums up on itunes at the least. I have boxes of flyers from those days somewhere, and what band had the song Pale Green Carpeting?

My husband found this sight last night for me, can't believe it. I went to SCSU 1984 - 1989 and quickly became an Urban Gorillas fan. I remember driving down to St. Olaf once just to see them play (my cousin was down there)! I had the "Darwin Album" and it was coveted by my brother and his friends. It disappeared one day and I thought that an ex-boyfriend must have taken it. Years later I mentioned it to my brother who told me he had lent it to his friend who left it in the back of his car in the SUMMER and it had melted. He had searched for years for the album in used record stores but could never find it and we didn't have it on tape!

Just this past winter I was thinking about that album (I once taught an afterschool dance class for little kids that I choreographed a number to "shimmy shimmy coco pop") and started to search for it. I actually FOUND the album on some album site and sent the URL to my brother, instructing him that "payback is a bitch" (it was $20 and in good condition).

Long story longer, he ripped it for me and I finally got my favorite college band back! Boy did it bring back memories of many a misspent night. I own a small coffee house in NJ now and whenever I play that album someone always comes up and asks me about it. Thanks for starting this site. I too found it interesting that I could never find anything on them when I searched, so this is really great.

I also have very fuzzy memories of their concerts so this will be a fun trip down memory lane. :-)

Freealonzo, just tried to email you and it came back.

I'd love a copy of "Pink Heat". Email me @ internetc@muccigrosso.org

Just tripped onto this site - like the author, I was googling to see if there was any UrbGor's tribute site out there. I'm amazed that there isn't.

Larry booked my old band's first gig, in 1986 at Williams. Of course, I saw 'em play at the Uptown a zillion times - always a blast. And I interviewed Larry a couple of times on a radio show I did at KSTP in '86-87; he was always a GREAT guest.

I've wondered for years whatever happened to him.

And wow - I was at the "AotPHSMM" release gig at the Forced Attitude...er, First Avenue! I think I caught a few minutes of the opening act. Wow. Small world!

Hey kids, i have been looking for some Urban Guerrillas Mp3's for quite some time with no luck whatsoever, thats how i stumbled upon this site...
I do have an mp3 of some flexidisc that they were on, but, still have had no luck finding either of their albums and would absolutely love to find a digital copy of them!
If anyone has mp3;s or cd's that can be made into mp3's or anything whatsoever, please drop me a line!
uratoolkm@yahoo.com

So is there any known way to get the albums in mp3?

i remember the UG's at the cabooze. i was just tellin a friend of mine (who is 24 now) how when i was his age, there was this band the urban guerrillas and how they'd play this song about reagan and how everybody would be jumpin around on the dance floor and then they'd all lay down on the floor and twitch...!!! i still have pink heat seeking on vinyl. i'd love to have it on cd since i don't own a record player anymore.

My first show ever was the the Urban Guerillas/Prehistoric Jello Babies show at First Ave and my buddies got us thrown out for smokin' dope so I missed most of their set.

I'd be interested in UG CD's and Prehistoric Jello Babies if Scott wants to email me!

Cheers.

I use to frequent the Guerillas gigs around the cities. I was happy that someone put something on the web about them. Last I saw Larry S around was the late 80s working at the Cabooze I think. How's the potential website going? If they ever do a reunion gig it would be a good place to gather e-mail addresses to let us know. Maybe the group members would agree to put freealonzo's copy of their albuims on it to download for free?

Happy to have bumped into this page. I found it while trying to see if a copy of Joe Soucheray's ~1986 column regarding the UG was online. If my hazy memory is correct Joe penned one of his typically inane commentaries when Highland Park Senior High shut down an UG show when Larry sang the classic "I f_cked my mama...". (I was in the crowd, and also had a hand in picking the band for the dance).

Caught many UG shows and still put the LPs on occasionally. I seem to recall in particular a private party out on Sunfish Lake and a warehouse party in a old Land 'o' Lakes. But then again I could be wrong- I was fairly drunk during the 1980s.

if you wanna get some info on the UG's go eat at the Bandbox Diner. UG's bass player Brad owns the place. or go see the Brass Kings - the band he's in now. (which is the band that played at the summer photo retrospective Davem referenced above, I think)www.brasskings.com

I love Urban Guerillas!!! And I'd forgotten how much.

I just stumbled upon this site on a periodic search for some type of information on the Urban Guerrillas. I too experienced the Urban Guerrillas during my stint at the U. Every show was a classic.

I have both albums and ripped them to CD. I even scanned the covers to make it look like a real CD. I've been trying for years to track down a live tape they put out. It came in a black plastic bag with the chance to win a free party with the band.

If anyone still has a copy or knows where to get one I'd be very interested. In the meantime I'll keep my eyes open for a web site and that reunion show.

Freeway picnic party...

Happy to find this site! I've been looking for music from the Twin Cities over the years. I've been trying to find a band called "3 Below" from the same time period in the TC with no luck. I've got albums from both UG and 3B tucked away in a box somewhere, but thought it would be cool to find digital files. I remember many shows at the Harriet Band Shell -- Shangoya, The Mary Jane Alm Band? It would be great to get the UG CDs you mention. How do I make that happen?

Yeah. I googled UG to see how to spell "Shimmy Shimmy koko bop," and still cant' figure it out! Saw them when I was way underage at a couple of venues, one at the Great Hall in Coffman Union and the other at some dive on Lake Street that served me 3.2 when I was about 16. Bad beer, great show! What a memory! At Coffman Larry was into face paint and shared it with most of the crowd until we all looked like we were ready to participate in the Souix Uprising. My friend's older sister who had a killer body probably saw more shows than anyone I knew and we thought she was a groupie. Wish I could remember her name. I'd love to hear them again! ... Repeti - tion...A Repeti - tion... oh yeah, and thanks for mentioning the Prehistoric Jello Babies! Wow! That really brings me back! Thanks again for this thread!

I love these stories. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Fish, get me your e-mail so I can tell you about the UG CDs.

Mike in Rochester, also send me your e-mail, I may have a line on that live release.

Yesterday, the door was open at DKstudio. Upstairs, the door on the left. Met a man there 1984. He married me, bore my young, and stole them away. They cry every day for their mom.She's homeless now 'cause of something she didn't do. Time gets back.

I thought I was the only one. I've had both albums for years and ripped them to CD about 10 years ago. I've never really quit listening. I also have the flexi-disc of live material but never quite got around to burning it yet. I used to catch the UG's at Kirby's up in Moorhead during the mid to late 80's. Every weekend it was either the Urban Guerrillas, or the Phones, or Ipso Facto, or the Wallets. I remember the band playing past closing time and Kirby up on stage trying to push Larry off. Then we'd go to a party and Larry would be there hanging out. Good times.

this is a new song called the 08 election year blues. i'm movin from my plastic mcmansion to a trailer filled with trash. gene simmons an marilyn manson all in 1 bedroom. there's nowhere left to go, it's all been done before. it's time for auto erotic asphyxiation and russina roulette. let's make history, have a circle jerk they never will forget. you, me geeeeeeorge bush jr. brack, hillary, oprah and barbra streisland. whovever comes first changes the world. i got the 08, yeah i got the 08, i got the 08 elction year blues. my house is in foreclosure, i'm in the union but can't pay the dues. just a puppet dancing on a string tired of being abused. their pulling the strings to my soul, pushed right to the edge, jumped your train it's out of control. look in the mirror yeah that's you headed down the path you swore you'd never go. i got the 08, yeah i got the 08, i got the 08 election year 08 election year 08 election year blues. repeat 1 st verse and out. happy 4th of july. thanks for the memories. larry sahagian any one interested in playing music call me 507-330-2489 or e-mail larry.501@hotmail.com

I used to follow these guys when ever they played around town. I heard them a bunch at William's Pub, I think The Uptown, and ??? ... maybe The 7th Street Entry ?. I can't remember where I bought the two albums but I used to spin them all the time. In fact everytime I hear that it's 4:00, the melody of a "Freeway Picnic Party" runs through my mind and I am compelled to "stop the bus, get out on the street and jam". I heard the lament in these crooners voices while they sang "Ronald Wilson Raygun"(sic). With the election looming I'm sincerly hoping not to hear the tune replayed as "Johnny Sidney Mc(RayGun)Cain". Anyway the reason for this note is that I CAN'T FIND MY ALBUMS. In the mid 1980's my then teenage younger brother had a party with all his nefarious punker pals lurking about my record cabinet and somehow my Urban Guerilla's and Suburb's LPs had strangely gone missing....I am only guessing that these
records were among the casualties of that party. I've looked all over He** for the LP's and I've even looked twice in all the closet's of my misspent youth hoping to turn out any skeletons therein. Alas, up until now my pursuit has plodded along fruitlessly. Please Please let me know how I can get a copy of these "oldies but goodies". Thanks, David

Awesome! I saw the Urban Guerillas twice -- once in New Orleans, Mardi Grad, 1983, Beat Exchange (if memory serves) after coming from Chapel Hill, and again in the Twin Cities in 1984 it must have been, there was snow everywhere. I went out especially to see them, even though I was just in town to help my sister move in.

Thanks for posting about them -- yeahdawg! From Detroit Rock City . . .

For the last 20+ years all I could remember from the tape was "4'o'clock stop the bus get out on the street and jam". And that alone held me to this point! Thank you for this site, it's very nice to know that other people liked the Guerillas too.

hi again from larry, i'm gonna post some more lyrics for ya' i am working on new music i reallly need a trumpet player and sax. but any musicians call or e-mail me larry 507-330-2489 faribault mn. larry.501@hotmail.com

I have been looking for Urban Guerrillas music for years - I'd love copies of the CD's. I remember planning a dance at Cretin High School in St Paul and was excited to book the Guerrillas for it. I had seen them at all ages shows around town. The week before the dance, they played a show at Highland Senior High and I think the principal literally pulled the plug on the show because of bad language or gestures or whatever.

Well, the next Monday our principal said the Guerrillas couldn't play our dance and I was pissed. They were one of the funnest bands I've ever seen and have lots of fond memories. Thanks for the post, Dean!

I'm doing super-fresh transfers of the LPs as I type this. I am coupling the LPs with some "unreleased" material from a short-press Camouflage Records tape, which kicks off with "Chinese Voodoo," clearly one of the Guerilla's finest moments. Drop me a line if you wand in on this CD release - compare it to your own, or get it for the additional material! This could be a double-disker ; )
Larry; you should look in to the Guerrillas vault and let one of us crazy fans have a whack at bringing it in to the digital age...
My aunt apparently hosted an Urban Guerrillas party of some sort a couple times in her life - it's there, folklorically - that I sat down at the drum kit at a little over 3, and tried my best to rock UG style... I've since become a drummer professionally, which is hilarious to me. Thanks, UG.

dear ejr please call me or email larry sahagian 507-330-2489 larry.501@hotmail.com
i want to jam with any one. let's create. help me help myself back in the saddle. i have a ton of new material.

Long live the Guerrillas !! Hey ejr, would love to obtain all that stuff. Hey Larry-- Great to hear from you ! I miss the old daze & I can see you do too. I'd like to interview you for the UG fansite. let's whip up some UG feverish buzz. Soon the world will know what they missed. And you musicians call Larry.. Like Larry said "CREATE" ! The UG legacy must continue however the universe may provide. Give fate a nudge. "Had it up to here with magicians, storytellers, liars.... Love me, leave me.. That is my desire"

For all those interested in this "Super Fresh" edition of the two UG releases, from what I consider "very clean" vinyl, with the addition of the "Camouflage Tapes #84" Self-Titled cassette (Forgotten Eggs, Bliss, Becuz Of You, On THe Frontier, Wild Boy, Venus, Chinese Voodoo, Jonestown, Sudan and Dizzy) give me an e-mail - relics.blog@gmail.com
This, obviously, is a labor of love. I am not grossing a penny from this, but if Larry or any of the UGs wish this to halt, I will immediately disperse.
I am very interested in anybody's UG material, and have the facility to transfer any means of audio or video at no cost to you (dig up your U-Matics, you bastards)... Quite amazing that the UGs are only now starting to get google web results that aren't GEMM.com...

Wow, what a find this blog has been. I've seen hundreds of shows over the last 27 years and have seen no other band more than the Urban Guerillas. Some really memorable moments for me, so many shows at The Uptown, Williams, The Cabooze, First Ave., that place on Lake St. When they played, we went. And Larry was always so cool after the shows, inviting us to go party with him a few times - man, that was fun. It's great to see you corresponding on this blog, Larry - I hope all is well with you.
Peace,
Fred

Down on your back...like it like that.

Urban Guerillas
dang!

Finally, a random search on them gets a hit!

I first caught them in a basement on 42nd and 42nd summer of 1982 or 3 I think at the invite from some fellow Brown Instituters.

Then the usual bars, Duffy's and the Cabooze mostly I suppose. I have a few scattered memories of "The Larry's" as my friend and I used to call them. I have some faint recollection of running into and/or going to parties with them more then a few times, but for some very odd reason, it's all a bit foggy.
hunh

But the music and the dancing! It tweren't too difficult to stay skinny in those days, HAH! None of this just bopping up and down whilst standing in place these younguns seem to do nowadays. Whatsa matta with this younger generation anyways?

Well, the last time I saw a Larry was at the Nitch.

Ah yeah, anyone else remember Ruth and the Nitch?

I often wonder how Ruth is doing. She was everyone's "big sister"

hey paula ruth and the nitch wow what ablast from the past. the woman new home to rustle up some grub. that was a breakfast for champs way before tramp stamps. it seem people have forgotten how to dance. maybe they need more carbs or somethin.

Hi Larry,
I thought you might remember Ruth, lol.

ya, I have no doubt I got a good dose of dancing energy from that platter of Ruth's 'Electric Screamers'.

Hey, now that you mention it, it was shortly after Ruth moved out of state that I first noticed people just standing around taking up dance floor space.

Who knew?

BTW, it's great to hear from you.

Imagine my surprise when I found myself taking a trip down memory lane and ended up doing a random search for 'Urban Guerillas' and coming across this site.

I sadly only had one experience with the UG's: Someone from my high school (Rosemount) arranged for a 'graduation' show in the Spring of 1983 featuring the Urban Guerillas and The Suburbs. Having lived a relatively sheltered musical life up until that point, I was completely blown away by the show and remember it vividly even today. I look upon that event as the start of my musical journey.

Thanks for the memories.

Michael

I really like the artwork and the band. It's all good.

http://www.boutiqueliquors.com/

Cheers !!

Yeah, it's nice to search for UG and not only get the Australian band. Finally UG is searchable. Is there ever going to be an official re-release of the music Larry?

Hey its cool people are coming here to read and reminence about the Guerrillas. Glad to be the vehicle. Say Brian thanks for stopping by, hope to see you in the comments section again.

hey kent, who could ask for anything more. i'll sing and play piano can you sing harmony or be percussive. as tom waits would say clap hands. i'm big in japan. larry.501@hotmail.com

If approved by a band member the music could be uploaded to www.Archive.org. This would make life easier for those who want to enjoy the music and for those tired of making copies.

i am the owner of all u.g. songs and anyone and everyone has my permission to have fun! go for it the music is yours. just glad you enjoy it. love larry
? larry.501@hotmail.com
let's make some new music
can you wrap your head around that.

I've uploaded "Darwin's..." to Archive.org.

I am trying my best to make sure everything is OK, but for the time being, you should be able to download it in a multitude of formats (including a fantastic stream!) at:
http://www.archive.org/details/UrbanGuerrillas-DarwinsTheoryOfPelvicRevolutionLp

You rock EJR, plus I am way behind in sending out CD's. Any chance you will get Pink Missiles uploaded? If not, I will try.

Thanks for the great response. Hope you all are spending the time to download the HQ MP3s for your portables and the WAVs to burn to CD for your friends (or yourself??).
Will continue to radiate Guerrillas as time permits - please enjoy Darwin's... High-res artwork should be available soon, and those who want disks, just keep yourself together and get loose with this digital download for now...
somebody please jam with Larry so he can put it up somewhere. I want to do it, but Minneapolis is a little ways away from where I am now... Also, please thank Lar and crew (if you see 'em) for letting the Guerrillas finally become less a rumor or faint memory to able-to-be-found internet-wise. Truly a step in preserving their legacy... ?

Larrysan,

I downloaded Darwin last week, and have been playing it least 20 to 30 times day. Repeat on. After not listening to your music for at least 20 years, its ammazing how f-ing good you MF'ers were.
That was some great shit you guys put out, and it is a great pleasure to be able to thank you.

THANK YOU! After years and countless hours searching for UG I have now found the promise land.

Went to UMD and was turned onto UG by some fiends from the Cities and immediately began road trip rituals to catch UG gigs at the Uptown and Cabooze. UG changed my musical perspective from those days on.

Many props Larry and thanks for making the downloads possible.

Thanks for the great information on the downloads.

Bliss is...
Rolling a tape from some unknown year in a self-titled case...
and hearing the familiar notes of "Bliss," but slower... A blast of a song entitled "The Forgotten Eggs," and the strangely harmonious grooves of "Jonestown."

Coming within 24 hrs to an archive.org near you. will post the link then.
PS: Larry & David (lol), your CDs are in the mail as of tomorrow. Thanks again, guys.

Dearest Urban Guerrillas fans:
Please visit: http://www.archive.org/details/UrbanGuerrillas-Self-titledTape for the self-titled tape I have digitized. I am working supplements like high-resolution artwork and scans of the tape & album artwork. Stay tuned. Thanks for all the positivity. The CDs will start going out soon, once the cover art is completed. Turn this tape up loud - it's got to be my favorite Guerrillas release. Let me know if anybody has any video footage from those crazy days, or has any leads - - I am willing to travel!

Great to see a site, and great to hear from Larry. I was turned onto the band by my brother, then proceeded to see them every weekend for about 18+ months, including the conversion to the more "acoustic" side of the Guerilla's including shoes at 7th St. Entry, Williams Pub, The Hole and well, everywhere. Also remember seeing the wallets open for them a few times and I even think the Blue Hippos. I'm sure I bought my LPs at Northern Lights Music, potentially the greatest LP record place in the Northern Hemisphere.

mike, hey
many versions, how bout it
northern lights, ryan and the crew, they loved music
those were the days my friend.
not stuck in the past
but. i love the wallets
and blu hippos to this day.
and wilco,ryan adams, and lucinda williams. don't get me started. start me up may the rolling stones shine a light on you.
love today more than
tommorrow and as much as
yesterdAY love larry

hello again old friend
i've spent my whole life
wundering the freeways,
the major cities, the gravel roads, the small towns the road less traveled.
lookin for my partner
lookin back
acccept the fact
my partner is the future
and tommorrow is the day
after i die
then mabe i'll find you
and be satisfied
i hate to say somehow
im still happy and thankful for what i found today alot of people have felt
they
lived thru hell or been in real danger
you really can't know hell or danger
til ur 1 step from losing ur mind
that's when
it's time to pray
to every angel you know
i hope this sort of commitment
doesn't scare you
but i i was going thru
hell
youre someone i want by
my side

Some of the Rolling Stones best lyrics can be found on Exile on Main Street. That will forever remain a classic album.
