The Crows - S/T (Cassette Only, 1988)

Derek Potts - Vocals, Percussion
Tod White - Guitar
Sean Smith - Guitar, Vocals
Bill Palmer - Bass
Julian Porter - Vocals, Percussion

The Crows existed in one form or another from '85 - '89 or so. That entire period produced just this single cassette-only release. I remember the Crows being controversial amongst other bands, mostly due to their tendency to staple their flyers right over the top of other bands' on telephone poles all over Eugene. Not sure how much truth there really was to that story, the Crows rarely played live although I heard they practiced everyday. Always liked this tape, never knew any of the band members well although I do know that Sean Smith later ended up playing in Superchrist with Doug Wilkerson from Mind Garage. Anyone who knows more about the band and it's history, please comment!

    I'm guilty of taking one poster, which I still have in my collection. I don't even remember where I saw them play for that show, but I liked what I heard, then never saw anything more about them and that was it. Will have to download this and re-check them out.

    I know that Sean joined The Dionysians immediately after the Crows. I saw them and can say that THAT was a band consisting of what I used to like to call real musicians. Was kind of new funk, alt-jazz rock kind of thing that was hip at the time. They even did Cab Calloway covers. I don't know if they ever recorded anything, but they certainly should have. I think they were only around for a year.

    Probably goes without saying that there have been about 2,000 bands out there that named themselves The Dionysians, so not an easy find on the webber-netz...

    Saw them play some pop-up Acoustic shows. Loved them. This is a real gem. Ive been hoping to run across some of their stuff for years.
