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...

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!
