Couch of Eureka

about

Originally penned "Couch," Couch of Eureka was a punk band that formed in the summer of '93 in the burned-out industrial town Eureka, CA. The group consisted of Sara Gambin (vocals), Bandon Taylor (drums), Brandon Bay (guitar), and Chris Colland (vocals). Colland was meanwhile several other bands of local fame such as the Cosmetic Puffs (with Aaron Cometbus), Thee Audio Lobotomies (with Ethan Miller), Audio Wreck, Eureka Garbage Company, Heroin Glowbugs, and Hookah. Having lost their drummer but gained his cousin Kris Cunningham, they put out some modest recordings, and subsequently embarked on a few small tours, the band was eventually forced to add the suffix "of Eureka" to their moniker when they faced a possible lawsuit by the Ann Arbor, MI. band of the same name. Couch of Eureka soon signed to Lookout! Records, then run by founder Larry Livermore, and in 1995 released their debut 7'' entitled "This Life?" which included a cover of Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba." A year later they released their full length, Year of the Zombie, which was produced by Greg Freeman, a man known for having worked with groups such as Smog, Pell Mell, and The Thinking Fellers Local Union 242. The vinyl issue of "Year of the Zombie" was limited to 1000 copies, while the CD version contained 4 of the 5 recordings previously released on their 7". Later in '96 they contributed their track "I got the Boom" to the Lookout! Records compilation "Heidi Sez..." which included tracks by artists such as Mr. T
