about

New York City's Art-Rock outfit Run On first released this as part of their debut album Start Packing for Matador in 1996. It was re-released last year to raise funds for the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide.

All Music describes the band having 'combined their love of pop, rock, and the avant-garde into complex, eclectic but accessible music. The group's extensive history in New York's underground rock and noise/jazz circles made them comfortable with bouncy pop or extended improvs -- and many of their songs employed both'.

Rick Brown has also lined up in 75 Dollar Bill, Fish and Roses, V-Effect and Information.

The band claim "Xmas Trip" is a 'fantasy on the imagined memories of a touring Canadian musician recalling her former employment selling Christmas trees on the streets of NYC. Shout out to Julie Doiron, ex-Eric's Trip, who maybe never really did this'.

Rick Brown - lead vocal, drums/percussion
Alan Licht - guitar, voice, piano
Sue Garner - bass, voice
David Newgarden - trumpet
Katie Gentile - violin
