A rock CD Gulls Window Circus show that includes a Rain Parade studio 80s song that never was on an record, an 80s Dislocation Dance Beatles cover that was a 12″ B-side, the Polish artist Kazik, Aquarian Blood, that includes a former Nots member, the pre-Reptar band Co Co Ri Co, a classic Kid Creole And The Coconuts track from their 1st LP, and several worthy lesser known artists.

The second of two African music specials. If you saw the movie Greenland: Migration there is a Kiki Gyan track in it (though not the one here). We will hear three tracks from the compilation Lagos Disco Inferno Vol. 2 (last week we heard tracks from Volume 1). We also hear two tracks from the compilation Ayobaness! (The Sound Of South African House). We also hear Sunburst, Penny Penny, and Michel Legris in this show.

The first of two African music shows. The shows avoid the typical Afrobeat and Zamrock sounds and explore other regions of Africa and abroad that have rarely been explored on Gulls Window Circus.

ulls Window Circus goes into the spiderwebs of time to extract regional artists from the 00s that either never found audiences outside their cities, or have been forgotten with time. In the latter category, Tampa band Pee Shy (see the Anaconda remake to get the name) were an excellent indie band, The Fly Seville and The Push Stars were Boston/Cambridge based. I can personally speak to all three having enthusiastic followings in their prime. Big Bad Bollocks, with a 1999 track in this show, recently opened for Dropkick Murphys (on St Paddy’s day) so they are still happening. Another Boston band Future Carnivores is here too, and a Long Island band Delights Of Nothing too. Kioku plays experimental jazz, DJ Sid plays dreamy beats, and Dave Coles tells a story about Wisconsin. But leaving alone where the artists are based, every track in this show is a jewel that only requires your ear for validation.
