August 03, 2021 Lost Tapes! Cinderblock Baby - We Are One 1995 Live Demo
Just found a month ago, a recording of Cinderblock Baby, the band that started it all for me, resurfaced. On the evening of September 17, 1995 we recorded 14 songs live to prep for our CD. 11 made the cut. This one didn't and so it's just been heard for the first time in 25 years. Little did I know when I started this show, I'd be holding this amazing piece of nostalgia.
