thanks darek! u rule for starting this.




Hopefully this thread will eventually have some videos as well but for now, here's what we've collected for Audio, all in one place for the new folks. Thanks to all the members who have contributed. If there is anything I've forgotten, messed up, or anything new you'd like to add, feel free to comment or PM me. Also, if you happen to know where and when a track is from that doesn't have an attribution, let me know so I can update it.

All praise to the original tapers of these tracks and shows. If there is something on here that is yours that you'd like removed, simply shoot me a PM and I'll take it down.

Thanks a ton Darek! thats a lot easier than sifting through old posts etc

[finks]

Would it be wrong to ask if someone could post a MP3 file or better of Shish Boom Bam considering it is out of print, and sells on Amazon for $157-$300? If I am out of line, sorry in advance, but.. well, it's Rustic history ya know?

[mrhanalei]

I have Shish but I don't know about the legality of putting it here.

Like you said, it's OOP and I can't see how putting it out would hurt the band (or maybe they will re-release it??) That would be great!!

But I won't do it until I hear something that says it's okay.

The band has a very generous show taping policy, and don't mind you trading live material, but they specifically requested that studio material not be traded or shared.

The best thing to do would be to try to contact the band and express your interest in purchasing the album. If enough people ask, they'll probably re-release it, at least via iTunes.

Here's a copy of the official band policy on taping from Archive.org:

On February 6, 2003, Spencer Albee gave permission to Aaron Parker for shows to be hosted at the Archive, emphasizing live material only:

Subject: Re: Permission for Rocktopus and Rustic Overtones shows at archive.org?
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2003 16:43:39 -0800

as long as no one it turning a profit on it, I have no problem with trading
shows. I'd also like to point out that I don't want any studio recordings up
on the site either. Thanks for asking, good luck with all.

Policy Notes
from btat.wagnerone.com
Rustic Overtones (a,BA) board access, mic's ok, stands ok. Very encouraging of tapers in general.

[finks]

Hrmm, arite. So the now to contact them.

[jeff]

I'm not sure if the band has an official email address anymore, but I can think of a few ways you may be able to reach them.
1. You might be able to get to Spencer through the email address on the As Fast As website (www.asfastasmusic.com)
2. You might be able to get to Dave or Jon through the contact form on the PSC website (www.pscmusic.com), though they are typically harder to reach than Spencer for some reason. My guess is that Spencer is just more of an internet junkie.
3. Jason Ward is usually pretty easy to reach via the email address on his website (www.jasonwardsaxophone.com) or via his MySpace profile (www.myspace.com/jasonwardsaxophone).
4. The band has a MySpace profile there too. I'm not sure if or how often they read their comments or private messages, but that might be a possibility.

[Darek]

You can also try PMing Jason Ward. I talked to him Saturday night after the show and asked if it was really him on here and it is, so if you look through the members lists you could shoot him a message, he also might reply here if he's so inclined.

[finks]

Yeah, I sent a PM at the myspace profile, will give that a day or 2, and if no response, will try to get a hold of Spencer. Also asked outright if Shish still counted as a studio release in their eyes as far as hosting it on the web.

Thanks for the info!!

This is awesome to have everything here in one place. Here's a challenge to all you hardcore fans. I heard a song at a WCYY Rustic patio show possibly between 1996 and 1998. Dave introduced it as a funky song called "The 6th of June". I think i may have it on cassette tape in my attic because i remember taping the show. Has anyone heard this song or knows of a recording of it? I emailed WCYY but they told me any recorded material from the patio shows is property of the band but Rusty above stated the fact that the band is cool with trading live recordings. Is there someone who can pull strings at WCYY and see what can be done about getting a copy of this seemingly rare song? If no one has heard of this song or i am just crazy then i apoligize in advance.
