Caustic Casanova Announce EPPPCOT Live Album Due Sept. 29
Wasn’t I just posting about Caustic Casanova like two days ago? In fact, I was, but that was my own fault for being late on the arrival of their “Memory King” video. This news? Current! How about that?
EPPPCOT reportedly stands for Experimental Protoprog Psych Punk Concert on Tour, which is enough to make one thankful for the acronym. All the more appropriate that the second Caustic Casanova self-released live album of 2021 was tracked in Orlando, Florida, since, you know, Disney and all that. If you, like me, have been known to enjoy a soundboard bootleg from time to time, dive into “Boxed and Crated/Show Some Shame” knowing that’s what you’re getting in mixed and mastered form. They were playing as a trio at the time. They’re a four-piece now. As they tell it they’d had a hard few days, but the songs (united as one track here) still sound right on. Maybe the rest of the thing is a mess. I haven’t heard it, but I’m thinking I might preorder a tape.
It’s out later this month, as per the below info, which I nabbed right off their Bandcamp page, thanks to the cut-and-paste-readiness of the internet at large.

EPPPCOT (Experimental Protoprog Psych Punk Concert On Tour) by Caustic Casanova
On November 18th, 2019, Caustic Casanova played at about 1 am at Will’s Pub in Orlando, FL on a Monday night. The band was on close to 24 hours of no sleep. Stefanie had experienced a personal family tragedy in the past day. It was a rough night, but we endured. This is a document of that.
There are two sides to touring, and they are beautifully captured on a cassette release that will feature EPPPCOT – Experimental Prototype Psych Punk Concert On Tour (named lovingly after an Orlando landmark) on one side, and Lïve Läugh Löve Malört (named lovingly after a Chicagoland alcohol benchmark) on the other. In Chicago, in 2018, we played on a Saturday night to a packed house of drunk metalheads. In Orlando in 2019, we played on a Monday night, nearly hallucinating from lack of sleep, to the few people who dared to stick around into the early morning hours. We rocked both nights with everything we had. The 2018 Chicago gig featured the classic Yonki-Zaenker-Beringer lineup, and the Orlando 2019 show featured the (at the time) very new Kimberley-Zaenker-Beringer lineup, yet another way these two shows exemplify two sides of the live CC experience. Hopefully the next live CC set can show off the four piece lineup in all its glory.
