Dom Mariani's first band prior to The Stems, Someloves, DM3, Dominicks, Datura4 and Summer Suns. Released this 1983 cassette with very little fanfare. Greg Hitchcock was also in the band prior to The Kryptonics, Datura4, Neptunes, Stonefish, You Am I, Monarchs, Bamboos and Deerhunters - phew. I guess you could call this Year Zero. Velo Zupanovich and Rob Scorer were also in the band. Velo was in The Stonefish and Palisades while Rob ended up in DM3, The Someloves and in Dom Mariani's Majestic Kelp. Really - despite the band breaking up early in the piece - they drifted together over time, on and off.
You won't find too much written about this release, nor will you be able to get your hands on an original copy. Dom rarely even mentions it's existence. It's rarer than rocking horse shit. Anyway - Enjoy.
I have a copy of this cassette, but time has not been kind to it - it has stretched and warbles badly through the tunes, I hope the copy I just downloaded is better as I've been searching for this one for a while!! Keep up the good work!!
