(former members of alfonsin)


I posted this today simply because of associations, but I was struck all over again by how subtly powerful this band was. I only saw them once, a show in Oakland where I knew virtually no one, where I felt wholly underactive (in virtually every aspect of the word), but was made completely welcome. File this amongst the whole late '90s "personal is political" movement if you like, but realize when you do so that there are a few bands who deserve to be filed in a category all their own.

I had the privilege of playing a show with this band once (and saw them once or twice more after that). great people with a great unique musical vision, which more or less applies to all of the other bands they have been involved in over the years.

Anyone knows if the members of this band are currently involved in other bands or something?

Fuck yeah. the link is still working in 2019. I bought this tape at a show in Long Beach or OC in 99. Lost it years ago. In it's own way, a masterpiece!
