Yesterday I realized that I hadn’t posted anything from our beloved local Sacramento bands for a while. Here is a tape I got from Scott Kazos- I did not even know it existed until recently.
Go National were one of my favorite Sacramento-based bands. Kevin and Allyson Seconds on guitar and vocals were the 2 members who were in the band throughout- but the band also had quite a few Sacramento notable artists along for the ride. This tape is from 1997 and has Grub Dog (currently with Forever Goldrush and Loose Engines), and Mike Tamony (currently with Legion of Decency). Speaking of Forever Goldrush, as an extra bonus, I will put a new Forever Goldrush song in facebook comments – it was my favorite song released last year. Great stuff.
This tape has different versions of 2 of my favorite GN songs from their full-length CD- Aqua Dirty (my fave) and Straight Up Jen (love that break before the guitars come in!). It also has an apparently unreleased track called Our 1st Mistake. Awesome!
