It's been a while, yes. But just want everyone to know we are still writing/working/etc. We will be posting some live stuff though, stripped down - if all goes well via YouTube or something, stay tuned for details.

Overall the music doesn't stop. That's as much a testament to our fallen comrade as anything else, I would hope. We're not going anywhere, we're just a soul shy.

Anyway, this is a catch-up post. We'll throw some more real substance here a little later. After our March 12th memorial for John. Just didn't want you to think we'd forgotten or abandoned you.

Be well, stay safe and as careful as you see fit, be kind, don't be an asshole, carry on.

With peace and love. Yes, peace and love - fuck you ;)

Good Citizen

It is with great sadness and regret that we announce the tremendous loss of Citizen J, John Feijoo - Drummer, Father, and incredible human being - to Covid-19 on 12.25.20. 

We, the Citizens, are devastated as is everyone that knew him. 

Please hold a place in your heart for this good man and if you can, help his daughter out via the link below. If you can’t help, we understand, but please share. She is a good person as well as a good musician.

We love you all.

We will miss you more than you could ever know, John. There will never be another like you. Rest.

Hey there Citizens.  Just a little note to let you know that Good Citizen is about to release our latest music endeavour.  It is a song cycle called "Stupid Covid" and consists of 4 songs inspired by living through the recent pandemic.  The song titles:  This Little Thing (is turning out OK) , Run With A Pack of Wolves, Stupid Covid, I Miss My Public Library .

Release date is December 29, 2020.

This little ditty is an ode to fire season. Those living around LosOra, and other parts of this great land, will know what we mean. Imagine the years as kids body surfing with fire ash falling on the swells. It's almost nostalgic, and certainly deadly. This song was originally written in 2004 and we play it every year to ourselves at Poverty Level studios as a celebration of sorts, and one we'd like to share.  See the video below.

We are currently working on a 4-song cycle of tunes regarding our current times. Yes, it's a Covid song cycle

Led by Citizen D - her songs and her voice.  We did some rhythm tracks yesterday and they're really good. Looking for an October release.

Also, the west coast is on fire so in that spirit please enjoy a tune from circa 2006 titled "When the Hills are A'Blaze" just added to our songs section. A rollicking jaunt of country flavor as an homage to fire season.

Be well.
