Let me tell you what’s radical: when you and your homie have teenage dreams that become a reality. This was the case for Dan Clements and I – both of us are products of the Venice Beach of the 70’s. We watched Suicidal Tendencies do their thing, and even before we started going to gigs, we knew what we wanted to do was start a band! In 1983, with the help of his homie Adam Siegel, Dan formed Chaotic Noise; when Shaun Ross joined in 1985, they became Excel. From 1987 to 1995, this band put out some game-changing records that spoke to their generation. Excel were a band that that had the hardcore/metal vibe down to the T, plus Dan was one of those frontmen that knew how to work the crowd into a rightous frenzy. Today CVLT Nation wants to take you back to 1989, with Exel wrecking shit at The Country Club in Reseda all captured by the almighty Kill That Cat. After the jump, peep this killer gig and see if the joke will be on you!
