I first became aware of desert rock in roll wizard Sean Wheeler through his band Throw Rag. Who still play the occasional show to this day. I saw them open for the Supersuckers at the Bluebird in November of 2002. That was Supersuckers at the height of their rock n roll prowess and Throw Rag gave them a run for their money that night. I was instantly a Throw Rag fan starting that night. I've seen them at least 20 times over the years. I once even traveled down to Tempe Arizona to see them.
Sun Trash is one of Sean's multiple other projects. He has solo albums, a project with Joe Buck, Charley Horse, a stint with Zander Schloss, Sean Wheeler and the Reluctant Messengers, he sang with Brant Bjork, to name a few.
They opened up for Supersuckers at this show with their groovy punk rock sound. If you are a Throw Rag fan this is right in that zone. I think this might have been the 1st and last time Sun Trash ever came through Denver.
It had been a long while since I had listened to this. I quite enjoyed it and have been giving it repeated plays. The studio output of the band is pretty sparse so it is a nice to hear live versions of these songs. I have one CDR album, Wicked Awesome Vol. XI, with 5 songs and another 3 demos as mp3s. There is a 2017 self titled CD/LP release that I still want to get a hold of a vinyl copy.
As always go support independent artists and rock'n'roll lifers like Mr. Wheeler anyway you can.
