I am pretty sure that I took this picture of Ben from Econochrist in the basement of ABC-NO-RIO in the summer of 1992. I know that after this show I interviewed Econochrist for the second (and final) issue of Think Again, a fanzine that I did with Drew Gilbert. There was a lot of activism happening that summer and I remember asking the members of Econochrist if they are involved in any form of activism. Their answer? “This is it”. I have always appreciated that answer. I don’t want to get into what forms of activism are more effective than others, but there’s no doubt that playing in a band can be a form of activism.
The legend was that Ben wore this Fury Resurrection shirt for the entire tour, so you should be able to spot other photos from this tour based on this shirt.
Awesome to see that Ben’s band life also led to a more activist career!
He did wear that shirt the whole 2 months of the tour! I was there. It stank.
You must’ve taken that one because I somehow ended up with a copy too!
Did you get the postcard version? I used to print these as postcards in the Pomona darkroom and then send them to people.
