The Curse is Cast! - Broom & Feather

Yet more from the Santa Cruz Gypsy Punk scene. Though now defunct, The Curse is Cast! is well worth checking out if youre into Abandon Ship! or Blackbird RAUM. Incidentally, this band has members from Abandon Ship and Blackbird RAUM. Go figure.

Top Songs:
Still Sick (early version of song from RAUM's Swidden)
Seeking The Sacred
Cliff

Abandon Ship! - Live on Sounds From the Street!

Big ups go to D-Wrex for the hookup here! I know of no more than ten people who have a copy of this, so you should feel extra special for having it too! This is Abandon Ship! playing on the late great Sounds From the Street on KZSC. This was recorded just before theyre tour in 2008. Abandon Ship! has to be my favorite of the gypsy-punk bands, its like Blackbird RAUM, but more fun (is that possible? yes.).

Top Songs:
D-Wrex's voice that will totally sex you up

Little Ghostthings - Little Ghostthings

I believe that the first and only time that I saw Little Ghostthings was in the woods behind the UC Santa Cruz campus with Ghost Mice...but it was damn good! For all you fans of Abandon Ship! this is what some of em were up to before there was a ship that needed abandoning.


Top Songs:
The Girl With the Photo Emulsion Hair
What I Want
Alps

SUPRISE! Double post today!!!



Heres some rare stuff from ROSA, a now defunct plan-it-x folk-punk band from Texas (there are some good things in the southwest afterall!) This is theyre 7 inch and a couple live tracks. Expect songs about friends, bringing down Clear Channel and punk rock.

Now they go by the name Punkin Pie, and make some some mean pop-punk.

Top Songs:
Charlies Song
Umm Like Yer Smile is so Totally Ruling Me Right Now
