Anal Solvent video, live from the first Plazm Event, circa 1991

Anal Solvent, one of the great late 80s/early 90s experimental bands in Portland, performing here at Hand Prints. This was the first of a number of benefit shows that helped launch Plazm magazine. Trying to remember everyone who was on the bill. I believe this night was also Pond's first show. Drunk at Abi's played for sure too. And Hitting Birth? It is a blur. I know it was 1991 not '92 because the first issue of Plazm hadn't been printed yet. Below is also a photo of the first Plazm t-shirt. Design by Rob Bardel. There was some debate about if we were going to be "Plasm" or "Plazm"...
