Pete's been working overtime!!!

Goombas hail from Long Island, New York. Tropical rockers, their sound is not so easily pigeon-holed. Each member brings a rich and varied musical background to create the luscious Goomba sound.

Richie Saccente plays guitar and shares lead vocals with his cousin Cosmo Mallardi, who also plays bass guitar. Brian “Uncle Bee” Johnson sings backup vocals and shares percussion duties with Randy Knudsen, also on vocals. Kevin McCann plays guitar and sings backup. Special guests on their debut album include Richie Cannata (sax player for Billy Joel, Elton John, The Beach Boys, etc.) and Bob Cassera on trombone.

Filmmaker Jake Gorst first met Saccente as a student in his guitar studio. Over the years they have worked on many projects together. For the Young Rebel Goomba album, Gorst assisted the band in the production of the CD. Pete talks with Richie Saccente about how trop-rock is all about "FAMILY", and why moving Trop-Rock into the main steam radio is important. http://www.youngrebelgoombas.com/

Showcase #49: At Least It's Not Coming Down Here

Simply amazed at the fact that the Eastern Seaboard is getting nailed and it's sunny here in Western New York. Figured we'd bring you some new debuts to keep you warm. Stay home, make yourself a boat drink and listen to TropiCast.

Enjoy,

The first new TropiCast Spotlight in over a year, we're pretty excited about this one.

Our new host direct from Kingston, Jamaica, Pascagoula Pete, has the heart of a showman and the soul of a beach bum slacker and extremely entertaining.

In Pete's first Spotlight episode he interviews Indiana Trop Rock artist Kyle Hurd from the sunny safety of his beachfront studio.

Episode #48: Our Third Annual Holiday Extravaganza

A few days early to maximize your holiday pleasure. It's that time again for our annual holiday show, about an hour of Trop Rock Christmas Classics and some new stuff too. The best part about it, my gift to you, is the fact that the show straight music, breaks or interruptions from me....

Episode 47: Musical Comfort Food: JimmyPirate's Favorites

Took a look at the TropiCast Library the other day and noticed we have over 2100 songs and it's always growing. Got to thinking about some of my favorites that we've been sent over the last three years and I thought I might share them with you in the confines of one show. Not all of them mind you, but a few.
