One Step Beyond

Sometimes in all the hectic times we had at One Step Beyond, I forgot how amazing it was that we brought such amazing bands to the South Bay and gave local bands like Bolero and Autumn Cathedral the showcase they deserved. Thanks Rene Peraza for sharing! Posting this to the One Step Beyond page today - which is the 35th anniversary of Bolero's record release show in what was a very full month of music at OSB...

This Sunday will mark 35 years our band BOLERO would launch its sole record release at Stan Kent's One Step Beyond (Santa Clara, California | USA). It was a Friday and cover price was only $6! Look at the flyer's list of artists the club would typically have in a given month - wow! The band: René (vocals), Diego Cisternas, (keyboards, sounds & things), Jay Goudeau (Bass), Doug Shuster (guitar), and Dave Lovvorn (drums). The vinyl itself: 'Gypsy (Catch My Soul) / Better Than The Real Thing' - Recorded at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, and Produced by Steve Masters (Sir Arthur on the liner notes). Recording was mastered by the late-great George Horn at Fantasy Studios (Berkeley, CA).
As good an archivist as I am, I cannot recall who took these photos, so THANK YOU! It's the last thing we ever thought about so they are treasured!

For those of you that are in Southern California this coming Friday it promises to be a stroll down One Step Beyond memory lane. I'll be co-hosting the Lost 80s live night at House of Blues Anaheim - but it's no ordinary (as if there ever is an ordinary night where these bands are concerned) night as you'll read from the article below. The man behind the Lost 80s nights - Rob Juarez - is celebrating his 10th anniversary of producing, creating, booking and starring in these shows - and he got his start in this business from his days and nights at One Step Beyond taking photos of the bands and helping us out of some dire emergencies - so come to the HoB in Anaheim on Friday night and you'll hear some of those tales and of course the fabulous line-up of bands - many that graced the One Step stage - and celebrate Rob and all that great music he's kept alive.
