The Roots of Noot

Dream Sanitation with Ed Rawls at the Living Room circa 1998.

Here is a collection of sorts from previous bands that members of Noot have played in over the years. For more music and details, please check out my other blog - Beyond Failure, as well as Dr. Kinje's blog - Master of None. The links to these blogs are on your right.



Now let's get down to the music.
