.Elaine.- A Discography of a High School Memory

Well I finally found every single thing related to the big deuce .Elaine. To me .Elaine. will be a huge part that played in my life although I won't lie I have been in better bands in .Elaine. but this band it is definetly what emo is in Long Beach, California. The songs define the sound of this city we lived in and defined the sound of our shit in high school. We got drunk, high, and played together though we were varied of different musicians on each fucking shitty stuff that were never releasded I finally put it all in one file. 16 songs of a heartbreaking high school memory that it is now turning to a sepia color flashback in my brain whenever I listen to this. I finally made shitty discography CDr's I am selling for 3 bucks. I am only making 30 of these. I think these songs should be free and physical copies. Although the other people I played with don't know of this actual release though I am sure a smile will come out there face just remembering these times we played. I remember our first show at a big house at the edge of Long Beach. We ended up playing the entire 2009 demo, except for the song "Actual Moments" which I am still embaressed about and I never played that song like EVER again. Another show was in the east side in Long Beach on Thanksgiving we did played those same 3 songs along with the other 3 songs from 3 songs, yeah?. I enjoyed playing the stuff from 3 songs more. I felt like we were less booed by the crowd of Ska and Punk teenage kids. I guess they couldnt tell if this was a indie punk, screamo or emo band. To be honest, I don't know neither. We never agreed to what to play. I guess I mixed a bunch of genres and turned it into a big pile of sad dump. But kids didnt know these songs were some depressing shit. They either would shake there head to some of the songs or just had a blank stare towards us thinking "Okay, what the fuck am I listening... Should I walk away? Boo at them? or just stay at the show and buy that 3 songs cd copy? I feel very akward now." I even felt akward playing a show with the wrong crowd that often disrespect this kind of shit but because we mixed it I guess we were an exception to them. We usually played in my backyard and stuff whenever we practiced. Or got high and drunk there. We know our songs were very horrihow often do you come up to a song where the whole world can agree that its a good song, hmm? None. The discography is a set of 16 songs. So not only was it that 2009 4 song fall demo or 3 songs but along with 9 other songs we never fully released. The CDr contains the Bio of the band inside the insert, a half assed booklet on the releases of the shit that was nenver fully released and info of the material. I have made about 5 so far. Will make more if anyone buys. If not it doesn't matter the songs are here for free download.
