South of Gilman St.

Welcome to South of Gilman St., an mp3 streaming/internet radio site dedicated to the music that put the Bay Area punk scene and the Gilman St. Project on the map. Click on the Listen link to tune-in (this may require some tweaking in your browser) or point your favorite mp3 player at http://stream.southofgilman.org:8000 and start enjoying.

And while you're listening, explore the database to find out more about the bands, albums, and songs you're listening to and even make requests. Don't forget to rate stuff you like (or dislike)!.

There's even a forum where you can chat about stuff as well as see and post flyers and album art.

Want to know more about the site? Here's some info. Curious about what the Bay Area scene was like? The liner notes from the seminal Turn It Around 2x7" really captures what Gilman St. is about. For a more recent perspective, check out an interview with band-member and punk insider Jesse Luscious.

2023-03-24 - "New" Crimpshrine?

I was randomly exploring on YouTube when I stumbled upon a Crimpshrine "album" I'd never heard of. Now, you should know Crimpshrine is my most beloved band so this was a bit of a shock.

None of the songs are new - they are all cataloged here - but some sound a little different. I don't know if they are alternate mixes or from a recording session only recently unearthed. Another Day (my favoritest of their songs) in particular has an odd ska-like rhythm that I don't know if I care for.

If you know anything about this, please share! You should be able to give it a listen via this YouTube Playlist

2022-10-20 - The console plays the stream again!

I've been tinkering on and off with the new server to try to get things in a better place. One nice outcome is that I was able to fix stream playback from the console. It's been mostly broken ever since Flash player was finally laid to rest (so it's been awhile).

I don't usually use it myself, but it can be pretty convenient if you don't regularly use a standalone mp3 player/client. Give it a try!

2022-06-29 - New server

I don't know if anyone noticed the site being up and down for the past couple of weeks but I was forced to drag the 10+ year old site kicking and screaming into a 2020s infrastructure and let me tell you, it was ugly.

I think it's mostly working now - I'm listening to the stream, browsing the site, making requests, posting on the boards, etc. If you notice anything busted, let me know!

2021-09-15 - The Lookouting!

I just learned about a one time special event back in 2017 celebrating Lookout Records, at Gilman, naturally. I love that all these bands "came back" to celebrate Lookout's history and I love how they all sound, with hardly a hint of the passage of time.

You can buy/listen to the album at Lookout's Bandcamp; I've also added it to the mix here.

They posted one video, MTX playing Gilman St. (sic - kinda weird they dropped "At"), that I'm aware of. I wish they would share the whole show!

2021-05-22 - Live gigs of old

Listener Erlan dropped me a line pointing me to a live recording of Sweet Children (aka Green Day) from Feb 24, 1989, Gilman show (just 2 weeks after I had seen them at a gig with Crimpshrine!)

Exploring that channel, I was stunned to find a treasure trove of records from all my faves - Crimpshrine, Fifteen, Monsula, Cringer, and more. I know what I'm gonna be going through over the weeks to come. Go check it out - it's an amazing time machine to the music this site is devoted to, live!

Thanks for sharing, Erlan!
