Chip Kinman of the Dils sent this to me today about playing at Wild Man Sam's - one of their first gigs...! I had forgotten about it, but I good friend of mine remembered. 

"The Dils played there! We had just written Class War so we played it over and over and over...💜 we booked a show there because there weren't many places to play and we had heard that the Runaways played there. NOBODY came to see us. In fact nobody even came to buy pizza! I believe it was a pizza joint...

We were booked to play two or three sets and didn't know that many songs so we just played Class War for our second set... about twenty times! Not sure of the date but I probably have it written down somewhere."

Wild Man Sam's could be like that, packed one day and empty the next, we took the good with the bad and kept moving forward! Thanks Chip!
