A clip from Rutzen’s VHS tape of some Velocipede shows will be included in this weekend’s Home Movie Day. And he says he picked up a collector’s mentality from his father, who owned a record store back then. Kent native Chris Rutzen was friends with some of the band members. That’s the case for the early ‘90s band Velocipede. One of the challenges in collecting it is, we might not even know there was a recording of some of these things.”

And it really helps to paint the full picture of the scene here. Steve-O also shot video of groups like Ragged Bags, Full Wave Rectifier and The Bizarros – and that’s exactly what the Rock Hall is looking for according to Archives Director Andy Leach. And I thought, ‘this is something that’s really good.’” And I knew there was something interesting here there was a scene that everybody else was ignoring. “I was capturing things onto videotape as early as 1983. But in reality, he was documenting a scene that most people still don’t know about. He says that because he owned a large, professional-grade video camera, he could walk right past most bouncers, who assumed he was with a local TV station. Guitarist Steve Eierdam, known as Steve-O, became an archivist of the era’s underground scene in Cleveland. The band Death of Samantha was well-known in the 1980s. It’s part of an initiative by the Rock Hall and the Ohio History Connection to document Northeast Ohio’s popular musical history.

The event includes some of the material submitted by fans to the Rock Hall Archives on everything from silent reels of film – like Bierut’s - to digital videotapes from the 2000s. Some of what Bierut captured with his silent camera when he was young will be featured in “ Home Movie Day” on Saturday. So I was lucky to get out, because I always heard those Elvis Costello bouncers were rough.” And their bouncers just came and grabbed me. In the middle of ‘Pump It Up,’ I was standing right by the stage, being fully illuminated. Only busted once at the Elvis Costello concert at the end. Still, the Strongsville native would bring the camera with him to shows to film what he was seeing and enjoying at the time. He owned a Super 8 film camera which could capture vivid images, but no sound. Ron Bierut grew up loving concerts and photography. It's an opportunity for the Rock Hall to show off the materials they’ve gotten in an ambitious project to document Northeast Ohio’s music scene. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s first “Home Movie Day” is coming this weekend.
