Bio
Illicitizen started as a side project for Singer-Songwriter Eric Cavanaugh for items that were
too “arty” for his conventional outfit (The Blots). Originally a solo project Illicitizen released
one single (Detached) in 2002 on the Sticky Gum Release (SGE001) “Communists Are Just
Part Time Workers” (a compilation of South Eastern American artists). After The Blots
reached their potential Cavanaugh revisited the Illicitizen project with renewed vigor and
fleshed out the rank(s) with a programmed rhythm section and bassist Maria Zaccaro. The
two quickly moved forward writing eleven songs for their first album and have set out to
start play-testing them live before formally recording beyond the demo stage. The new
songs move away from the experimental frame on which the Illicitizen house was founded.
This music moves to the space beyond the post-punk rock that inspired the two to start
playing music in the first place. The enclosed demo CD contains 5 self-recorded/produced
efforts that will be included on the first album.

there is this song called 'ANTI', it needs ears to find a home, go listen and maybe the highly raved about acoustic single will find a place to lay it's tone, much love Jostel, p.s. don't be afraid, it's just me pouring out my soul, all emotions you feel are reel and are regarded vital in sustaining a meaningful life,......
