Sounds Like"...Listen Up!"
--Relix Magazine

"One of Burlington's 5 bands to see." Burlington Free Press

"Like a good pair of patchwork pants, the Fiasco seamlessly blends mountain and island music with quirky narratives and British invasion harmonies to create a unified sound that is truly unique and utterly cohesive. The Fiasco's sound is rooted in the crafting of their songs, deeply hearted in late seventies and early eighties rock and roll. Campus Activities Magazine

“A rare combination of mountain rock groove and island music. The post-jazz reggae stylings are a breath of fresh air in the jam-rock scene and Casual Fiasco may as well be the forefathers of a new sound. Save your money on Police reunion tickets - Roots rock hasn’t sounded this great in years.” Stowe Reporter

"It takes a special band to actually take the jam band sound to a new level and succeed in the world. Phish did it! Dave Matthews Band did it! The Casual Fiasco? They can do it. The sound that we could be hearing in big theaters and arenas all over the country." thisISmodern.net

"We saw it before in Sublime and Mad Caddies; now, The Casual Fiasco show they know how to get their pucca shell-wearing audience to really groove." Boston Phoenix

"The group's tasty blend of rock and reggae has found a wider following throughout the Northeast. The arrangements on Body Over Mind manage to give every band member a chance to shine, and sometimes the songs take unexpected turns from head-on rock into laid-back reggae... The result is a pleasant blend with a little bit for everyone, including those who love it when music just plain makes them feel good." Press and Sun Bulletin

"Designed to put a smile on your face. Combining the open-ended vibe of groove music with the solid hooks of pop, the Burlington-based band bridges the gap between Sublime and Paul Simon. Throw in a little exploratory jamming and you've got a recipe for laid-back good times." Seven Days

   About the casual fiasco

Higher Ground 6.7.06


Blending elements of roots-rock, groove, backbeat and Americana, The Casual Fiasco has been turning heads down the east coast with their shirt-soaking live shows and unique songwriting. Live sets transition seamlessly from foot-stomping rock to breezy backbeat, flush with three part harmonies, dynamic changes and melodic overtones. Arguably one of the busiest independent bands in the northeast, the Burlington, VT based quartet of twentysomethings has logged 500 shows in 3 years and is packing venues like the Knitting Factory (NYC), Higher Ground (VT) and Paradise(Boston).

The Casual Fiasco has been on bills with acts as diverse as MOE., Disco Biscuits, Little Feat, Dickey Betts and Great Southern, Toots and the Maytals, Tim Reynolds, RAQ, North Mississippi Allstars, Tea Leaf Green, the Slip, Brazillian Girls, Addison Groove Project, Cat Empire and State Radio to name a few.

The Casual Fiasco will be releasing a new EP this fall. For music, video, tour dates, and band news, visit www.thecasualfiasco.com Catch the FIASCO!

Jun 28 2008 12:34 AM

Hi there the casual fiasco first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark www.tthlabel.com so that in the even that we do close our myspace account you will not lose contact with us. Thanks again for being our myspace pal!

AMERICA AMERICA “WE THE PEOPLE”

LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE BRAVE
OUR COUNTRY “WE” MUST SAVE
IRAQ…..A WAR OF CHOICE WHERE IS OUR VOICE
SHOCK & AWE A WORLD EVENT
REMEMBER “WE” WENT ON LENT
INNOCENT BLOOD SPENT
HAVE “WE” SEEN THE FEMA WRATH
LET US TOGETHER DO THE MATH
OUR REPUTATION & WEALTH DESTROYED
IMPEACHMENT………….VOID
OUR DOLLAR IS DOWN
OUR INTELECTUAL PROPERTIES SOLD AROUND
OUR JOBS FREE TRADED AWAY
OUR PENSIONS STOLEN ONE DAY
NOW FREE MARKETS TAKE OUR HOMES TODAY
HEALTH CARE & EDUCATION STANDARDS A DISGRACE
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM BY CLASS & RACE
OUR PORTS & BORDERS NOT SECURED TODAY
ALL THOSE TRILLIONS BUSH JR. THREW AWAY
“TERROR” HE DOES SAY
NOW WE THE PEOPLE STILL HAVE A SAY
NETWORK THIS TRUE IMAGE…THAT’S THE WAY
IF “WE” WANT TO STAY FREE
BE PATRIOTIC ONLY TO “WE”

POWER TO THE PEACEFUL

Hello,

We are going to everyone of our friends and personally asking them for
their help in the making of our next record!

What can you do to help you ask? Well, buy our record. That is what we
need you to do most, and of course tell your friends that don't know
about us, yet!

On our page, we have some sneak peeks of our upcoming album titled
"Distance". Weekly we will also be posting new songs and videos so keep
checking back!

We also have extensive touring plans on this record, so drop by and sign up for our mailing list so you can “be in the know” when we’re coming to your town.
