1933
RockIn 1983, lead vocalist David Hilker launched 1933, an aptly named bar band celebrating the end of Prohibition fifty years earlier. Hilker’s five-piece new-wave outfit also featured Geoff Grace, Tim Henry, Curtiss Smith, and Frank Contreras. The quintet gigged relentlessly, five to six nights a week, fifty weeks a year, in bars and nightclubs across Arizona, California, Colorado, and New Mexico. Their grueling schedule left little time for proper studio sessions, so the band loaded up a Tascam 80-8 8-track recorder and took producer Eric Barnett on the road. Using band houses, motels and empty nightclubs during off-hours, they churned out demos and ultimately recorded their self-released EP. In 1989, after years on the circuit, David Hilker went on to found Fervor Records and the rest is history!
