NEW RELEASE: Whiskey & Starlight

DOWNLOAD AT BANDCAMP

Born at San Francisco's Secret Studios over a bottle of bourbon, Vagabondage began the long process of hewing together the anecdotes, tall tales, and memories that would eventually become Whiskey & Starlight. Full of road trip blues, and gallows heartbreak, this brand new album from Vagabondage is the perfect companion for a late night drive to nowhere.

FREE RELEASE: The 99

To mark the 82nd anniversary of the stock market crash on Wall Street, and to honor the brave protesters occupying cities around this country and beyond, we're proud to release this free download.

THE 99
Remember the great economic decline
Of 10/24/1929
That crash on Black Thursday is echoed in time
Different day, same old crime
Different day, same old crime

High in their towers they look down on me
But I am a neo-revolutionary
We are the broken American Dream
But to them, we're the end to a means
But to them, we're the end to a means

So lay down your burdens and turn to the sky
Grit your teeth, open your eyes
Behold a new era and let out a cry
We are the 99

They ride four green horses made of your dollar bills
From Lower Manhattan to Beverly Hills
Their greedy filth-fingers will squeeze us until
Their corporate consumption kills
Their corporate consumption kills

So lay down your burdens and turn to the sky
Grit your teeth, open your eyes
Behold a new era and let out a cry
We are the 99

CD RELEASE: Live at the Boxcar

DOWNLOAD AT BANDCAMP

The album Live at the Boxcar was born at the Boxcar Theater in San Francisco in January 2011, when Vagabondage opened for their friend and musical cohort, the ukulele genius Kelly McCubbin who was doing a series of live shows to record his new album. On a whim they asked if their set could also be recorded for posterity and so Live at the Boxcar was born.
