McWilson

Hey, we were no Dead Relatives, but McWilson burned brightly for a few months. Formed expressly to open for Naked Raygun’s (Thanks to Oreo!) first show in Champaign at Mabels. Members include Evil Tom, Randy, Neil, and Don Gerard. Not shown is sometimes guitarist Dave Titlebaum, or Dave Uglybum as we used to call him. He kind of thought we were a joke (we were!) but when he found out we were opening for Raygun he got interested real fast. The good reception we got at the show convinced him to stick it out for a few more gigs. Click the image to see it bigger. Photo by Ted McDougall

Neil makes the first purchase from Randy’s ill-fated skateshop that had Mike Timble as a silent partner. It was called You Mom’s Skate Shop. I think we made one wholesale order. Somewhere in my basement I still have a baggie full of kingpins. This was taken in my bedroom in the Yellow House or second TSG house across the street from the first one on Nevada.
