Lester Freamon
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
the youths//lester freamon
I haven’t listened to much besides this band in the past few weeks.
More from Melotov’s distro. Mel actually suggested I get this and the Ten Thousand Leagues / John Cota split (which is up next and I had already intended to purchase). I hadn’t heard much of this band but I’m glad she told me to get it. It’s fucking amazing.
3/18
We’ll be playing with Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate), Warren Franklin, Caravels, and Alaska (NV) at Yayo Taco
7PM, Donations encouraged
Note on last night
The video above is of our song “The Youths” featured on The Monster Mash Vol. 1 (tape) compilation.
I will no longer be the vocalist for Lester Freamon, last night was not Lester Freamon’s last show. I’m making life changes that conflict with being in any band but I will continue to do background things (mail order, etc.). It’s unfortunate but I leave amicably. The last release I’ll be on is our 7” split coming out in a couple months, the details of which are set but we’re unable to release them at this time. Jayson and Matt (guitars) will continue to do vocals as before. Thanks for the continued support.
