I was living in Chicago during this time period, were you in any bands around that time?

Wasn’t in any bands, no. But lived down in Peoria and came up for shows ALL the time. Was friends with the people on Castevet. Went to shows at Strangelight a bunch. Loved that house.

My memory has become a bit foggy, but strange light sounds familiar. There were tons of house spots during that time so a lot blurs together for me now. Shout outs cstvt tho!!

Mothlught were great. Thom played in Majorel and In Wolves Clothing with me when he was in Richmond after this band broke up, he also played in 60659-C with members of Ostraca. I believe Nate plays in the current Coma Regalia lineup.

Good looks on the info! I did see they had a split w Coma too. My homie was saying he thought Tim Mack was playing drums in this. Tim was in a band called Churchkey with Corey from Acidic tree
