Sometimes the Redhats


Now here's a group that really knew how to have fun with music, sucesses and failures. From 1988 until 1989 the redhats were ... at times:

This group had one show at the basement of 214 Bailey St. The rest of the time and for the most part, this band jammed at Barry, Marc and Paul's house on Lansing's east side, which is where all of this material comes from. Skronkish, spazz jazz, quirky, uninhibited, free. They released in a limited edition of about 15 tapes, a compilation called: Sometimes The Readhats of which only one copy was actually sold. The master was stolen. As this project moves along, i will try to resynthisize it. Oh now i almost forgot, we had a show at Faruk Gallery very late in the band's course. Thanks Anne.

    All of you who were there, don't forget, you can fly. I've been getting some complaints about people who are not getting enough music in their lives.
