i dont know if any1 here lieks them besides me. Lately i have been trying to get bootlegs from them. I found this on ebay. soem guy is elling 5 operation ivy bootlegs http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...item=928421737

but i dont have alot of money to spend that auction might go over 60 bucks even. So i found a site music-exchange.com

i bought unity the complete collection that is the best op ivy bootleg out there with 22 songs they had 4 bootlegs of op ivy in all im gonna buy the other 3 nwith my birthday money.

I've loved Op Ivy for years, though all I have is the self titled CD on Lookout Records. Definitely a band that has influenced many, many others since their day.

One of my favorite bands. I have their album they released on Lookout plus a couple of bootlegs -- one was "Unreleased energy" the other is "Radio days" -- I might have another. A lot of their bootleg stuff is pretty crappy though.

I also have about 5 or so 7"s by them too.

Cynthia Plaster Caster had a garage sale?

I like Op Ivy, but I LOVE Rancid!

zooom.. over my head. Though I suspect this is a porn/dildo reference?

I'll try to forget that you ever said that.

(The salon.com article is a fairly quick read and is informative enough to catch you up to speed regarding her exploits.)

Ahhh... heard of her. But, I was talking about records.

Jesse Michaels, the vocalist from op ivy is in a new band called Common Drive. a buddy of mine has a bunch of their mp3s and says they are good, have that op ivy sound but still kinda different. you guys might want to check em out if you can.

actually its Common Rider. I got both their cds, the first is good, the second sounds a little boring. Sounds a little similar to OpIvy, but C.R. is not as pissed off.

I have both Common Rider albums as well. I didn't care for the 2nd one at first, but its been slowly growing on me.

would anyone be interested in selling me any bootleg cds

I never really have checked out the music forum. But, intrigued to see Op Ivy in a post.

Back in the day, I saw there first show in a garage and how they evolved from *** (forgot the name if the band but started with a "B" and did a horrible version of "Rock you like a Hurricane", but they played both bands, the same day). They pretty much owned Gilman St after only playing a few months.

You can trust me that some of their early shows (including the first) will be preserved on DVD in the future. Virutally all of their shows were video taped.

the band you were thinking of was called basic radio. im pretty sure. thats so cool you saw them live. i heard about that garage show. well anyways the otehr day i made my own op ivy bootleg 30 songs i would have put the outro from seedy but it couldnt fit on an 80 minute cdr. i made a cover and ****. my seedy cd i ordered on gemm.com is in the mail. i cant wait.

Yep. Your right on the money. Basic Radio was it. I think I have the soundboard/video of one of their shows (w/ Tim and Matt).

It's funny how people heard about the garage show (maybe from the bootleg video, which must look absolutely dreadful). Since I swear there were only 10-15 people there (besides the bands).

Never liked Rancid as much as OPIV.
