really? EMO?
I loved this band so much.
Not what I would have picked either but this is what was listed on their Myspace
hands down one of the best bands from Miami.
Not mentioned is that each 7" had different artwork created by a variety of people. mine was covered in glass cut in various shapes. still have it. great band.
Mike Alen used to be in Lift which had a song on the far out record comp found on this blog.
Mike later went on to start the secret service.
As for Yesterday and Today - the place only closed its first incantation in 94. it reopened a block away but closed in around 96. reopened again near US1 with limited hours sharing a space with some other group but closed again. It was then briefly run out of a house. was it timmy or buddha who ran it out of the house? can't recall. the house was near coconut grove.
i love this blog, by the way. i hope someone comes up with some los canadians video.
any chance for reupload???
