Post-Sesquipedelians/Hungery Ghosts part 2

After Jonathan Hess left the Sesquipedelians in 1990, Ed Brister and Cathy Livingston, (Cat), played some shows in San Francisco and in Santa Cruz, CA under the names "Hungery Ghosts", and "The Aquarium".  A friend of Ed's who had moved back to the USA after playing in a pop band in the UK, Steve Ridder, joined us on the bass guitar at this time. Here are some fliers for some of the shows we performed-

Sesquipedelians video on Youtube

I am reconstructing my musical past from ancient cassette tapes, photographs and scraps of paper with lyrics written on them. The Sequipedelians was a group that was formed briefly in Santa Cruz and then re-formed in San Francisco in 1990-91. Here is a video containing photos of the band while we recorded some tracks with Greg Freeman in San Francisco. Read a short biography of the band here:
