Hopefully people out there appreciate the fact that these guys don't get together much anymore. Great set. To be honest I had forgotten how much I love this band. You should probably pick up a record if you don't have any of them. This was a celebration of Steve's birthday. Communist Daughter, Roma di Luna and Building Better Bombs also played.

On this night we celebrated Steve Yasgar's birthday. Steve's lady friend Lee was caring enough to put together a special surprise bill. Communist Daughter, Ela (reunited w/ original line-up) and Building Better Bombs played as well. It was one of the most complete & solid shows from start to finish in recent memory. As you can see this was also a very unique Roma di Luna set. Not only are the duo performances rare these day but the set was full of brilliant covers...some perhaps never performed before of ever again. Have a listen, you'd be a fool to miss this one.

Please check back if you're interested in FLAC files. I also wanted to try to get some of the other sets posted. Ela is close.

Tracks coming soon from...

So the virus that my pc contracted last week has slowed me down a bit (along with work & being a bleeding human). With that said, full sets and or individual tracks from your favorite local bands are on their way. We're talking some No Bird Sing, Junkyard Empire, Guante & Big Cats!, Samosa, Carnage, Ela (reunited w/ original members), Roma di Luna (duo), Building Better Bombs, Communist Daughter, Big Trouble, Black Blondie and Kristoff Krane.

Enjoy the weekend. See you on the West Bank.
