Audio
For your listening pleasure, we provide for you the following audio downloads. Also, there is probably something at our myspace page too:
- Firestorm (Live)
A protest/march song, inspired by the tune of the same name by the straightedge hardcore band, Earth Crisis. Recorded at the Catalyst, Santa Cruz, Feb 2008. - Ladies & Gentlemen!
A Trash Orchestra introduction of sorts. Recorded at Sunday practice March 2008. - Modesto Jam #3
A series of improvisational songs inspired by a larger teenage punk rock audience on the streets of Modesto, California during an Anarchist Cafe in which we chased off the Modesto Chief of Police not only with high-decibel percussion but with noise about our constitutionally protected right to free speech. - Modesto Jam #1
Another in a series of improvisational songs at the Modesto A-Cafe. - Circus Waltz
Trash Orchestra's only dance song, a lovely little improvisational waltz that vacillates between glacier and frenetic. - Rain
Our long-time song "rain" performed during practice in March 2008. - Things Break Down
A great performance song in which we end by chaotically destroying the stage, sledgehammering the equipment, dousing the venue with gasoline, smashing the windows, etc. Inspired by a Crash Worship song. Recorded at the Catalyst, Santa Cruz, Feb 2008. - Free Skool Radio Report
Using recycled food cans, hubcaps, barrels, sheet metal, and other discarded oddities, the Santa Cruz Trash Orchestra is a bone-shaking, recycled ensemble â a marching percussion band - who show up invited or otherwise, to make a cacophony of noise and celebration at parties and protests. Trash Orchestra players held an instrument building workshop as a Free Skool class in early December, 2006. DJ D. Rail attended, and brings us this sound collage, which attempts to make sense of the discordant noise, and mystery of the Santa Cruz Trash Orchestra.
