Donner Party- Donner Party

This long-defunct band from San Francisco, CA featured Sam Coomes (Quasi/Heatmiser/Elliot Smith). This, their debut album, was originally released on Cryptovision in 1987 and immediately went out of print. The release has been a collaboration between Sam and Trussed Recordings and features 8 unheard demos of the album including two songs that never made the final cut. The album has been remastered by Mikey Young in Australia.
