This disk was recorded mostly live at MeGaPaGaTeXaPaLooZa Austin on
Pagan Pride Day. It's half Loke E. Lite (Trickster solo) and half
SONA. If you like Loke E. Coyote, you'll like SONA too. They play
goofy Pagan bluegrass, polka and folk. The band stayed at Trickster's
place for a week or so and we had more fun than any group of musicians
should be allowed! We cut this CD and had it ready for Houston Pagan
Pride Day. It's been featured on
WGDS Goddess internet radio
and many of the cuts can be heard on
Loke E. Coyote's mp3 download page
and
SONA's mp3 download page
.
Here's what's on MeGaPaGaTeXaPaLooZa Austin - Pagan Pride:
These songs are by Joe, Joe, Beltana and sometimes Trickster, otherwise
known as SONA! Dig it!
-
Mary's Blue is a song about good people rotting in jail
for smoking weed while murderers and rapists go free. Features
Joe III on vocals and mandolin.
-
Blessed Be proves that you don't have to be Southern
Baptists to play gospel music. Tasty harmonies and good mojo!
-
Pagan Polka - Damn it! Joe beat Trickster to writing this
song! The cows and chickens will think you're crazy for listening
to this one!
-
Land of the Sidhe showcases Beltana's writing skills and
vocal abilities. A magickal mystickal ode to otherworldliness!
-
a Paean to Mead was recorded at Wiccabilly Studios and is
kind of a commercial for the finest drinkin' stuff on the face of
the planet! Trickster plays washboards and harmonica and everyone
makes bee noises!
-
Snails Ho is another Beltana creation all about life at a
Pagan gathering. You've been there, you know it's all true and fun,
but what exactly did the faeries do with her nipple rings?
-
Burning Time in Texas is Joe's take on rednecks who just
can't seem to understand we don't worship Satan. Altho the idea
of burning witches is somewhat less than appealing, this song
lets us laugh about it! BTW, did you know Jesus was at the Alamo?
The rest of the disk is Trickster's solo set from Pagan Pride Day. Lots
of great party tunes, some politics, and teases from his forthcoming rock
opera Druid Four Winds.
Castin' Circle proves that every Pagan band must have a
song to call the elements. Jesus left Chicago in his V8 Ford...
Labor Day of Love tells the true tale of a bunch of Pagans
facing down the bad old rabid preacher. An anthem for tolerence!
Pagan Night Out is a dozen of our favorite parties of the
year, and now with PNO Classic every 23rd, it's TWO dozen!! It's
fun! You should start one if your town doesn't already do it.
Move Over Jehova is a Jehova Witless's worst nightmare -
knocking on Trickster's door. What fun he has with them!
Pan And Aphrodite
is an accoustic version of a song from the Pagan rock opera
Druid Four Winds,
and is all about the ages old mating dance. Been there. Done that.
Can't wait til next time!
Beltane
is an another accoustic version of a song from the Pagan rock opera
Druid Four Winds
- ah Beltane! Perhaps our favorite holiday! Magick at the maypole!
Hell to Pay proves that it's not all fun and games. There
are dark forces at work in this country and we'd best do something
about it before it's too late. Like support
the Libertarian Party
Don't Bogart that Mead my friend! Pass it over to me!
Ganga George is of course about that historical pothead
George Washington. Man oh man, did Trickster get in trouble for
playing this one!
and THEN some! There's also three short mystery cuts, but we
can't tell you what they are cause that would spoin the surprise!
