Since it’s Throwback Tuesdays and the post below this one mentions local guitarist, Daisy Berkowitz, who used to play in Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, I figured I’d scour the Web for old Spooky Kids footage.

Here’s another video with them performing “Suicide Snowman” from the same show.
Of all of the videos I found, this one below (of the song “White Knuckles”) has the best audio/video.
And this one is from a 1990 show at the Squeeze and features Manson singing “Son of Man” while he still wore (somewhat) normal clothes. The audio in this video isn’t as good as I’d like but it does give an insight into what the early ’90s metal scene was like in South Florida. Enjoy.
