China Street was one of the many RSS-feed-owner's bands that formed and functioned for a few years in Houston, TX circa 2002-2005. Nick Lombard played drums. They played their first show at Mary Jane's on Washington St. under the name "Charlotte's Web" when founding member Alex Hughes was still in the band. The first demo is elusive and likely lost. This album, "The Last House on China Street" was recorded after Hughes left the band. The RSS-feed-owner and Nick Lombard recorded it in the bedroom of Lombard's childhood home, and the RSS-feed-owner mixed it at Houston Community College, checking the mixes in the stereo-room of the Circuit City across the freeway in between classes. The band played a few shows booked by Hands Up Houston, mostly opening for the underrated D.C. superpower, APES.

Later, Justin Blandford joined the band and they made some more elusive, lost recordings at HCC and this iteration of the band also once opened for The Gossip with The Red and the Blue at Aztecas on Richmond Ave.

This podcast is almost certainly not space-alien free at this point, and it is becoming more Alan Johns-free by the day.
