In the late 80's I scored new 7" singles by Jeff Dahl released on Sympathy For the Record Industry. I knew Jeff’s name by way of Vox Pop, Angry Samoans and Powertrip. These 2 singles blew my head off with the hard rock of the early 70's and the power of late 70's punk, a perfect marriage! Jeff's 1st solo LP on Triple X- "I Kill Me", kicked my ass! Jeff Dahl was part of the reason I started Resin Scraper in 1992.
That year I sent Jeff our first cassette only album (we were covering "Lisa's World" and he wrote me back a thank you note.

Jim Bryson saw Jeff somewhere in the USA when Punchbuggy were on tour, went to the show, bought me a 7" and asked Jeff to sign it (one of my most cherished record gifts ever) ! 👉
In 1999 the honor of sharing a stage with Jeff became a reality and in my mind, one of the most sizzling double bills I ever booked at the Dominion Tavern! What a night! We have stayed in touch off and on over these many years and Jeff continues to put out album after album of relentless power, energy and in yer’ face R&R greatness !
Not more than a month or so back out of the blue, I got a message from Jeff simply saying, that he'd been thinking on what a wonderful show that one was back in 1999...24 years later!

2 weeks later Jeff’s latest album "All My Friends Are Crows" arrives in the mail ! Absolute ass kicking R&R beast of the highest order!❤
Jeff Dahl "All My Friends Are Crows"
Saturday at the Ottawa Record Fair I snagged a copy of The Jeff Dahl Group – “Pussyfart K.O. Live" (fanclub LP) from a dude who originally bought it from me 30 years ago at Birdman Sound! What goes around comes around! Love ya Jeff and thanks for the album dude, YOU RAWK! ❤
