S.N.F.U. - The Palisaids
San Diego CA.
July 20, 1985
Soundboard @192
SNFU is a Canadian punk rock band formed in 1981 in Edmonton, Alberta and later relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia. They have released eight studio albums and are cited as a formative influence on the skate punk sub-genre, as well as the punk rock scene at large.
The band is fronted by the sardonic singer, lyricist and artist Mr. Chi Pig (Ken Chinn), currently their only original member. The group initially built their melodic hardcore punk sound around dual guitar work from twin brothers Marc and Brent Belke before the latter's departure in 1998. Marc Belke left the band in 2005.~Wiki
What did S.N.F.U. stand for anyway? It's pretty clear that near the beginning it was Situation Normal - all Fucked Up but the band was always cagey about its exact meaning. Sometimes you heard it meant Society's No Fucking Use or Sobriety's No Fucking Use, Stupid Name For Us or even Sally Never Fucks Us. At bare minimum that F had to be some permutation of the verb to fuck. Other than that, as the Chi says at the start of this ferocious 1985 San Diego show, the exact meaning always remained TBA.
