I remember this party. We set up in an alley in a small garage. Just when it was getting dark the band ripped through a bunch of songs quite fast. A cop car drove round and we packed up the gear fast and split.

Mark Stone Boot Camp Graduation 

 San Diego 

December 1980

Black Sunrise broke up after Mark Stone joined the Navy. In December 1980 Dave & Dave picked me up in San Juan Capistrano where I recently moved and went down to San Diego to watch Mark graduate from boot camp.  I mainly remember about the graduation a bunch of  guys who all looked alike and 

marching about then lots of standing at attention and a guy here and there would faint and fall on the ground. 

Later on got a room and hung out with Mark. It was a blast hanging out. Then Dave, Dave and me checked out San Diego for awhile. I remember it being quite fun and smoking alot of dirt weed. 

Dave Carey and Dave Simms saved us from getting bored with Tom Foolery and Anxietea.

This is the earliest Handbill I have seen so far with Jaames Dean. I don't think I saw them for another year though.

These are photos that were taken by my brother Jim Halbrook.  I think from 1977 or early 1978. I remember asking my brother about Danny's absence and he said at this point Danny was in and out of the band. These are photos I am quite happy to have them in my collection. My brother is the opposite of me. He would have lost these years ago whereas my photos are neatly in slip sheets in binders, organized in chronological order.  

Here's how I've stored all my handbills and photos as well as the audio tapes from my friends bands over the years.  So many historic moments....

Here is Black Sunrise doing a cover of Robin Trower's "Day Of The Eagle"at a party. Sadly I'm not sure of the when or where this was recorded. A real bummer for a fanatic like me who wants to archive every detail for posterity.

  This is just exactly how I remember the Black Sunrise parties except alot louder and better sound. I thought Mark & Dave were a tight playing twosome. "Our" very own Keith Richards / Ronnie Wood.

The very first Black Sunrise show I remember very very well.... I forget what I did two weeks ago but I remember alot about that day. I remember hanging out with Dave Ogden who lived a few streets away from me swimming in his pool. The last Friday of Summer vacation. I was dreading going to school again. I remember that summer being alot of fun. Dave mentions a party he had this handbill for and said we should go. I didn't really didn't know what to expect. That summer we had a couple of keg parties for our neighborhood. I was hanging with Ray Tenno, The Manson brothers, Dave Ogden and another character by the name of Skip Kelly. When that guy came over my house my Mom would reach for the smelling salts. The guy had a full beard at 17 and I was 14 years old. Looking back now... I felt older then than I do now.  I remember driving down to the party in Dave's green classic truck. I remember the backyard being quite big with a chainlink fence and a church next door.  I remember the party didn't get busted and lasted quite late. My memory of the party that night was that there was a very comfortable sized crowd of people there and the keg lasting for a fair amount of the party.  I remember digging the band quite alot. They played the music I listened to and their originals rocked as good as the Zeppelin, Hendrix cover songs. My first day of High School (10th Grade) at Savanna that following Monday I had GYM class. David Carey and Mark Stone were in the same class with me. I became friends with them the first day. David invited me along to be a "roadie" and that's what I did from 1979 until the end of The Cone Of Silence in 1984. It got a little tricky a couple of those years having moved to San Juan Capistrano in 1980. More on that later. 

On the back of the handbill there is handwritten directions. "Gilbert To Cerritos, Left on Cerritos past RR Tracks, Right on 9th, Left on Laser." It kinda makes me think the party moved to a different location then the directions on the front. Or perhaps another party that night. I'm not sure.
