Clay Heximer has been a fixture of the Las Vegas
underground having served time as drummer for the Heroines, Civic Minded Five,
The Impotents, the Mapes, and I’m sure several more mediocre bands I might have
missed along the way. He’s also a
complete smart ass douche bag full of whimsy as well as other things from time to
time. Maybe I should say he's full of whiskey so you don't think I'm implying that he's full of shit. But he's full of that too.
He’s
responsible for the cassette compilation I posted here a few years ago which
unearthed some cool missing locally produced Las Vegas music which could have been lost forever
without his efforts. In some cases it should have been lost forever. I haven’t
seen the man in forever but I’ve always tolerated him.
In
case you are unawares Clay was recently diagnosed with cancer. A fund has been set up to help him with
his medical bills. If you can
please take the time to help a guy who’s been there. Go here.
I’m also including with this post a video that was made
available by Rockin’ Chris Crud. I
think Clay had a hand in digitizing this video which doesn’t surprise me. The video features Boba Fett Youth’s
and Leap Frog Society’s first show which happened at the Rainbow Caves in May
of 1994 I think? Also included
is a rockin set by Boba Fett Youth inside the Rainbow Caves as well as a set by
an early incarnation of the Heroines when they had their first singer. The video is fucking amazing in some parts and incredibly blurry is other parts but the audio is surprisingly good. Eat a cookie bitch.
