Mp3s of the Week: Crayon live in ’94

As promised, here's a live set from Washington State's too-short lived twee ambassadors, Crayon. It comes from the Burlington, Vermont stop of their 1994 cross-country journey with the Softies (I shared their set here a couple weeks back). It ended up being their only tour, as they broke up shortly after, and was in support of their solitary full-lengther, Brick Factory, on one of my favorite pop labels ever, Boston's Harriet Records.

Again, keep in mind that this audio comes from the single microphone of an old camcorder, copied to a now ten-year-old vhs tape, then transferred into my pc. I've done my damndest to clean it up, but set your audio expectations a little lower. Oh, and if you know the titles of tracks six, seven, or eight, please let me know in the comments (Thanks to Crayon/Tullycraft's Sean Tollefson for filling in the song title blanks, and for giving the ok to share these up). Enjoy...
Crayon
live at 242 Main, Burlington, VT
Saturday, July 2nd, 1994

From Crayon's remains rose the also-pretty-excellent Tullycraft, who just last week released a new album called Disenchanted Hearts Unite on Magic Marker Records.
