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... Rene Peraza

TBT — June 23, 1989
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!

I couldn't resist, on this auspicious, historic day, sharing this video featuring Classix Nouveaux. Almost sounds like the Orange Face's speech outside the court. Maybe he'll start using Sal Solo's serenade at his campaign rallies... I doubt we'll see Orange Face in an Orange Jumpsuit 80's dancing to this song but stranger things have happened in these weird times... take it away Sal...

Next time in Paris ...

The city's 13th arrondissement honored the British musical legend on what would have been his 77th birthday

When we were in the thick of the daily drama of keeping a nightclub running we didn't have time to think of the future and the club's legacy. With reunions it has sunk in how influential OSB was in so many lives. No better example than this young gentleman wearing the OSB shirt from the reunion. His mom Denise and dad Ron met at OSB when Ron was working security and loading in bands and are celebrating their anniversary this month. The club might be gone but the memories are living and perhaps that's how it should be. I'm very gratified to have been a catalyst in Ron and Denise's great love adventure. Happy Anniversary and keep the music playing loud!

Every month in Los Angeles I DJ Lost Angels and for our Halloween show - Rise of the Wraiths we featured some fantastic special performances and this surprise guest captivated the audience with an acoustic show that was a beautifu stark contrast the loud pumping tracks I was spinning. It worked magically. Everyone from the One Step Beyond daze will recognize him from his still legendary performances with a band on our stage. It's J.P. Aston and here's a snippet of an appropriately dark song in the dark of Lost Angels - you can't see much but the sound is scarily good ... and if you want to see and hear more there are rumors of him visiting the Bay Area for some shows ... perhaps even an OSB reunion?

Monday Night Fashion - Trash - at One Step Beyond

While other clubs promoted Monday Night Football we did Monday Night Fashion featuring local designers and some crazy stuff. This one was inspired by Trash as fashion - you might recognize a few people under all that garbage ... it's about 20 minutes long so grab a cocktail and enjoy the show and come in your best Trashy Fashion to the Reunion next Saturday!

A Bubbleman Is Born on the One Step Reunion Stage

If you were there you know that this moment will live forever in David J./Love and Rockets music folklore - when A New Bubbleman was born from the cauldron of the One Step Beyond Reunion - dare I say a seminal moment. The moment is already legend. The sound isn't that good but it's what the band had to deal with - but just watch Bubbleman move... rumor has it he will be making an appearance with David J. at Cheetahs in Hollywood on August 13th.

OSB MTV Video Ad

This was a video commercial we shot for MTV right after the club opened. It features Tigger - who was a DJ at Stringfellows in London before it became a stripclub. It's a bit corny but so were many vids in the 80s. I do like the highheels and yup that was my old red Porsche and I still have the gloves...
