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.

A vinyl rock show that works the room without worrying about artists sharing the same vibe. I loved programming this show and believe it is a great listen end to end. First 10 songs are from the 80s, then two from the 90s, then 3 from the 70s. All artists are well-known in their fanbases, but as grouped together will surprise all listeners.

Happy St. Patricks Day! No leprechauns today, but a Gulls Window Circus rock CD show with tracks from between 1992 and 1999 does await you. The show starts with the biggest name in it (Pulp) then explores a bunch of super-worthy other names. Some you might know, like NY’s The Mommyheads, His Name Is Alive or Inspirial Carpets, but you will hear many that are new to your ears, and none of those are in this set merely for that reason – all have greatness which you will hear.

This Gulls Window Circus show covers lesser-known rock bands 1995-1999 that released stellar songs, without finding larger exposure. Nothing here is sub-par, the only thing that was missing for these bands was a lot of ears, something this show hopes to rectify.

A rock vinyl Gulls Window Circus show that starts off with a Tucker Zimmerman track (RIP Jan 2026) before entering an 80s (7 tracks) & 90s (6 tracks) balanced out with a Sundowners track from 2009. A nice listen that touches on a lot of different sounds.
