If anyone's interested, I've got 6 mp3 tracks here from SF band "Trichotic," which was J. Gentry's last gig before he went to jam with Jimi a couple of years ago. Doesn't quite fit, and no idea how you'd get permission to post 'em, but I have 'em if you want.

I tried to track down my liverbox shirt and get a picture of me in it (maybe someone will remember who the hell I am, but they still won't care...), but I can't find it right now. However, here's a lil treat for ya:

http://www.lowgenius.net/images/4pti.jpg

Sorry about the poor quality - it's a photocopy on red paper :P. I can't remember who did this one - might have been Dustin, or Amy (the girl Dave H. was dating).

I had the FourPeace/Tongue demo on tape, but I think the particles fell off about ten years ago. I've also got what I *think* is the only videotape in existence of Gypsy Blue, the three-piece thing me, Bogema, and Coville did post-Suiciety. I'll see if I can track it down, but the last time I saw it was about 7 years ago. If I can find it and it's got enough life in it to digitize, I'll do so.

And as bitter as my memories of Kalamazoo sometimes are, let me know if you need any space to store/serve this stuff.

Thanks again for a bittersweet set of trips down memory lane. If you can track down Matt Bogema, he'll have the 4P/Suiciety stuff somewhere. If he doesn't, Jimmy Black will (Coldwater or something last I heard). Riemer might have the Tongue stuff.

Can you email them to cool @ leons temple . com (remove spaces) if you want them on this site?

I can't download anything off of myspace successfully. Not sure if its my aged Mac or the general klugyness of myspace.

Or people can just go directly there.

Contribute or add to the project

We (the volunteers) have a lot of holes to fill in creating a rich and interesting catalog of music. We are looking for contributions from the artist(s) or authorized collectors. What belongs here?:

Anything in or a degree separated from a Kalapalooza
Those who were jazzed, at least conceptually, by what was going on with TI or Twitch (or Doxie or Rollinghead)
Those who knew who the coolest band REALLY was (hint: it ryhmes with 'the Finatras'

We're trying to be as inclusive as possible while still staying on theme. Basically we need holes filled in the catalog below and entries we forgot/missed altogether. We need encoded MP3s. There's also room for bios and old show flyers and such, but we're mostly interested in the music. If you have something, let us know at cool @ leons temple . com (remove spaces in email address).

Thanks!

CALLING ALL FREAKS!

Do you have any old photos, bootleg audio, flyers, video, etc. of the following bands?

Sinatras
Sleestacks
King Tammy
Twister
Goldstar
Fortune and Maltese
LKO
Triplemint
New Real People

If so, would you be willing to share them electronically? We at Leppotone Electrical Recordings HQ are busily working on expanding www.leppotone.com to incorporate more history of the label and the kazoo “scene” and would love to see whatever you’ve got. We’re discovering that the musicians themselves tend to be less-than-thorough record-keepers and there’s not much material to work with around here.

We can’t offer you anything but love in return, but isn’t that enough? I understand it’s what makes the world go around.

Any interested parties should respond to nmclaughlin@gmail.com or or amysult@yahoo.com .

Thanks for your consideration!

This might not fit neatly into the theme but I have recordings from The Jonze and Rumblehouse. The Jonze were a band that had a pretty sizeable following from I'd say from 2000 to 2004 and Rumblehouse is a rap group from the area that started at around 2000 or so and currently has a good following and still plays. I also know people from a few current K-zoo bands. Let me know somehow(by comment here I guess) if you would be interested.
