The Bands that Stole X-Mas Out of Print CD: Christmas songs from local bands 1998
So the kids were demanding Christmas music in the car yesterday, so I put this on and made it about halfway through the second song before a bleeped out F word happened and I had to change it… but it made me wonder if this was on youtube yet. Nope. So here you go- all Sacramento bands doing either their own Christmas composition or a cover of a Christmas classic. I am tagging all of the band members who I am friends with- feel free to tag others.

Revenge of Sac Rocks IV- 93 Rock Comp CD w/Brodys, Go National, Oleander, Decibels, More! Sacramento
Ah man, I hate posting stuff this late. It’s time for the local showcase portion of the collections posts. This one came from the man who helped spur the local showcase idea, Jay Knox! Jay, I still need to get your CD’s back to you. They are over here in the Jay pile.
Lots of great bands on this one- this is one of my favorites in the series.
Recorded by the bands at Pus Cavern I think
