V/A - An American Tragedy - benefit compilation for Judi Bari's case (7'') Diffusion #03 1996



One of the many benefits back then for Judi Bari, an former Earth First! activist who died from breast cancer in 1997. If you want detailed informations about the lawsuit and her activities, visit her homepage. Decide for yourself; there is also a booklet included in this 7" and I added it with the scans.

I posted it due to the version of Three Studies For A Crucifixion's "operation: dandelion" which is better than on the split 7".
Also quite funny: Dead Silence from Denver, CO are covering "angry" from Rapid City's Dissent! Dead Silence had some nice records in the late 80ies - especially the LP.
The Still Life track is also on their "madness and the gackle" LP on The Sunflower Tribe.
Never heard of Watercolour than on this compilation - quite typical indie emo mix for this time, like a poppy, less chaotic version of Cap 'N Jazz; I like it, anyone with more informations about them?

"watercolour was an indianapolis band - ex-jaded, pre-racebannon, rapider than horsepower, and others. they played at the re-opening of the sitcom collective in indianapolis in the mid-90s along with ice 9 and birthright. i'm pretty sure most or all of them went to pike high school. if i remember right, they sometimes switched on instruments. heartfelt music and words, poetry in between songs, melodic and rocking, etc."

"

besides this song they also made an unreleased lp which is floating around soulseek.
