sadly, lucy’s fur coat is just one band in a long line of many san diego based bands that have gone the way of the cassette tape. during the early - mid 90’s it seemed like their was just a shitload of great bands comin out of san diego. then after a year or so they just rolled out like a fog, never to be heard from again. the music, on the other hand, was kinda like teenage love makin. hard, fast and no style, but thats what made em great. lucy’s fur coat’s jaundice is what i would catagorize as the epitome of the san diego scene - at least from the outside looking in. the record is a hot mess and sounds like it was recorded over a long weekend that included, but not limited to copious amounts of beer and weed… its absolutely glorious though.
luckily for you, the gentelmen of lucys fur coat have both of their records available for download free o’ charge.

Hey I really like the demos you posted and its a shame that Lucy’s Fur Coat is not on myspace also:( I just read your blog and will be adding them to my playlists.:)
I was wondering if you know of the band RED and ever heard of their Breathe INTO Me, both the hard electric and the acoustic versions.
I found the electric on PP but I am trying to find out how to get a hold of the acoustic version of Breathe Into Me and another song Pieces, which is Not available on Project Playlist anywhere. Any ideas?
Thanks and if you hit a wall with this, thanks anyway for reading:)
cheers
hey sesame i have not heard of red. what are they like? and it is a shame about lucy’s fur coat. they showed a lot of promise.
Wow,, I’ve never heard of Lucy’s Fur Coat but man, those are some great tunes. Thanks for the demos.
yeah they were indeed great even if it was such a short time. luckily for us we have these things called “recordings” to remind us. keep up the awesome work rock juice!
the greatest band to ever be featured in a vw commericial? Ween.
