Name your ideal club show with 3 bands.

It must be physically possible, like the bands need to have been active during the same time period.
Maybe you have a flyer for an ideal show that actually happened.

Feel free to rip on half-assed nostalgia trips.

Here's one to start out:
Year: 2022
Austerity Program
Chat Pile
Kowloon Walled City

fight me

*why yes, as a matter of fact, I am having my first beer in 3 weeks

3 band bill of 3 person bands (iirc-- it was a long time ago):

Husker Du
No Means No
The Rats (pre Dead Moon band)

Adding this one here because I (and perhaps others here?) actually saw this trio together but at a lousy venue (Lollapalooza) in 1995:

The Jesus Lizard
Pavement
Sonic Youth

Would have been an incredible show at a small club.

Not sure if it’s my *ideal* show, though. Will think more about this.

Presently:

Juana Molina
billy woods
Horse Lords

Year: 1996

Neurosis
Godflesh
Grotus


Year: 1998

Ed Rush
Company Flow
Christoph de Babalon


Year: 2001

Coil
Russell Haswell
Boredoms

Saw this bill:
Sonic youth
Unwound
Polvo

(I jokingly asked Sweeney to do this on twitter once, eventually they did play with Sleep in NM/CO and I got to see 2 of those shows)
SUNN
Sleep
Superwolf

Would see:
Gang of Four
The Ex
Mission of Burma
*would kinda like to see this at both eras, the early and the "reunion"

Minutemen
Dino Jr.
Huskers

Part Chimp
Mogwai
Pajo

Uniform
The Body
Big Brave

Lightning Bolt
Wolf Eyes
Roky Eriksson

My Disco
Kowloon Walled City
Sumac

The Fall
The Wedding Present
MBV

Bedhead
Come
Bailter Space

Yo La Tengo
Dead Meadow
Bardo Pond

(Really, you could use The Fall, The Ex, Weddoes, Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, Fugazi as headliners and then kinda pick from an era to create the bill)

I saw Blonde Redhead open for The Fall, but I think it was an accidental double bill. It was a fantastic experience though, and I think my wife and I were one of maybe 15 that saw both on the same ticket. There was basically an audience exchange between the 2 bands.

Interpol and Wire were playing the same night in Austin at different venues, and Interpol moved their set time so people could get to both shows.

************

There's a whole mess of 70's shit to add in there - Thin Lizzy, Nick Drake, Cheap Trick, Sabbath, Zeppelin. I'll come up with more using those later.

Fugazi
Unwound
Shotmaker

Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Laura Marling
PJ Harvey (white chalk era)

No Knife
At the Drive In
Sharks Keep Moving

Year 2000 FatCat triple-header:

Xinlisupreme
Black Dice
Fennesz

Year: 2006

Khanate
Hjarnidaudi
Jason Lescalleet

I could seriously go for this right now.

I may be in the minority here, but I think most bills without SUNN would be ideal.
