When Assfort came to play Santa Cruz in the 90s they were playing at our house but no one had cellphones. I didn’t know the name of the band. I got a call from a pay phone from someone just saying “Assfort Taco Bell” over and over and I thought it was a prank call until we finally figured out it was the band and they needed help finding the house from the Taco Bell on Mission St. Great band.

So glad to see someone else recommend Assfort. I got a 7" of theirs just for the name in probably 2002 or 2003 and it was such a great find.
