Post Consumer Santa Cruz indie rock

Web Post Consumer

To anyone who has played or attended an indie rock show in Santa Cruz between 1999-2004:

I did it!!! I edited and mastered on my high fidelity workstation 546 songs pulled from my expansive library of live recordings made mostly at indie house shows in Santa Cruz between 1999-2004. This represents roughly one-half of my collection of recorded songs. If you played during this time period and your band/solo act isn't represented here then I'm really sorry and you'll have to wait until I make the next installment of this site. When I do that will depend on the demand that I get in e-mail from you. The material on the site was not selected by choice (except for a few recordings that were rejected because they were sonically unusable). The recordings were all dated as "month-day-year" so the recordings were mastered in order of month they were made and not year. I look forward to editing and mastering the next batch of audio because I know there's some real gems in there.

In case you're wondering, this is a totally not for profit project. I am not making a single dime on this project and in addition to my 2000 man hours spent on this project I have spent thousands of dollars on the professional web programming of the site. I have decided to make the initial release of this release of the project only listenable online in 128kbs MP3's because I lost the e-mails from the few people I was able to contact and wasn't able to get in touch with everyone else featured on this release. As people send me confirmation e-mails I will make available 224kbps (very high fidelity) MP3's on their band pages that you can download for your computers and iPod's.

If you are embarrased by any performance on this site, please don't be! It was a moment in time and it was great. If you really don't like your performance, and please remember that I'm doing this for free, I'll take it off the site if you .

The thing I'm most excited about this site other than the audio is people contributing to the band pages. If you were a member of this band or knew this band or saw them play live please contribute a bio or story or photo to .


Best!
