MP3: Zafio Records, Pt. 1: The Gr'Ups
Zafio Records was a brainchild of Jesse Luscious (who has his own tribute page) and Kamala. I dont know the entire discography, in order, I just know that I own most of their releases, so when Jesse asked me to post MP3s of his releases, on my website, it made perfect sense.
The Gr'Ups were formed in 1990 or 1991 with former mebmers of Blatz, Operation Ivy and future members of Cypher In The Snow, Criminals, Rancid and Naked Aggression. The band toured in the US and Europe (with Citizen Fish). Sadly, the band lasted for a two or three years, releasing only two 7"s: Self Titled (click the link to buy it from Jesse) and Building Are The Purtiest Trees I've Seen.
Here are some pictures from a show at the Autonomes Zentrum in Heidelberg, Germany ("borrowed" from StuckOnEarth.com).
Both 7"s are out of print, but Recess Records is in the process of reissuing those tracks with some bonuses on CD in the near future.
There's also rumors of reunion shows...
Here's a live performance of 'Lil Lost from YouTube.com from, I believe, the Oriental Transistor video comp:
The songs are my favorites from both records:
Gr'Ups - Oink
Gr'Ups - Rockabilly Song
Gr'Ups - RR Hood
Gr'Ups - Yer A Job
Enjoy.

Both records were technically on Zafio (although the first EP has a Zafio sticker covering the Immature Records label, then later both EPs were on No! Records. The No! Records versions were just stickers over the Zafio labels. There were no later No! pressings as far as I know.
