Nothing Painted Blue at Munchies ('91?) 

This was uploaded to YouTube (Uploader URL: https://www.youtube.com/@thejacksaints and original video URL:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YopymNxYYmI) on July 2nd, 2011.

The video description is minimal:

Opening for the Spinanes in Southern California.

But Nathan Wilson from Shoeface pops up in the comments:

This was at a place called Munchies in Pomona California. Nothing Painted Blue are from nearby Upland California. Guitar and vocals - Franklin Bruno (solo, Human Hearts), Bass - Joey Burns (Calexico), and Kyle Brodie on drums. 

Franklin, Joey, and Kyle play "Scapegoat" and then "Another Child Bride". You can listen to both here, and like the other videos, there are animated .gifs you can watch, which are a little less resource-intensive for my hosting than just having the video. 

01. Scapegoat

The guest keyboardist for "Scapegoat" heads up onto the stage... GIF
Joey announcing things. He's really got the rock star hair going in this one. GIF
A camera pan to Kyle here, who looks psyched to be drumming as always. GIF
They're ready to go.  GIF
Joey's keeping it cool. Our guest keyboardist is already nodding along. GIF
The camera passes Kyle in full blur to find Franklin rocking out.  GIF
A great zoom here. Doesn't Franklin look cool with the beard? Back to Kyle. GIF
Joey's keeping an eye on this side of the stage. ...Oh, the keyboardist knows this one! GIF
Just kidding. It was Peter all along! The camera operator catches him gearing up...  GIF
This side of the stage is just for fellas with long hair.  GIF
We're back on Kyle. This set gives him a lot more camera time than '92 Riverside. GIF
Camera operator wants to see what chords Franklin is playing.  GIF
Kyle's holding it steady.  GIF
Franklin's wiggling strings catch the light. You can hear the guitar riff watching this...   GIF
The camera catches Kyle moving through the drumkit this time... GIF
...Then bounces between Kyle and Franklin for a bit.  GIF
They're all rocking out on their own here: Joey's up by the nut, Kyle's got his head down.  GIF
Zooming in on Franklin's chords again.  GIF
And Zooming in on Franklin! Swerving over to Kyle too, and he's focused. GIF
Now on Joey, for backing vocals. Give it a second to see Joey turn on the charm. Hello! GIF
The camera operator gets more quality time with Kyle's drumming. There he goes! GIF
Joey stoops down and we see not only Peter, but---hey! Is that Bob? Bob Durkee?  GIF
Peter resumes his standard early-90's position (on the floor recording into a boombox) GIF

02. Another Child Bride

Joey manages his rock & roll hair. They're ready to go. GIF
Franklin checks in, Kyle counts off.  GIF
Rhythm section groove. Check out Kyle's big grin before the hit. WHAM!  GIF
Franklin is also rocking out.  GIF
Back to Kyle...  GIF
The camera operator checks the floor again: oh, he's grooving. He's bopping.  GIF
There are a lot of Kyle gifs. It's fun to watch him work! GIF
Franklin's fret hand making quick moves.  GIF
Kyle with some hard hits.  GIF
There's that smile!  GIF
And then he gets to really cut loose.  GIF
Let's see one more shot of Joey's beautiful hair. Good night, boys!   GIF
