JUBANO! is a music project by Carl from Paris Street. It is his outlet for all the ideas that don't fit within the general framework of Paris Street's pop songs. Though things tend to veer towards the experimental, a strong melody remains as the central focus on most of these songs.
Carl has recently finished a collaboration with his good friend Casey Mensing. It is a companion piece to Casey's book of poetry, Love Is A Ghost Thing. In May of 2008, Carl flew to Honolulu and recorded Casey reading several of his poems. Over the course of the following year, Carl added music to these recordings.
The fruits of this labor is an 8-track album called The March Of The Tongue Brigade, named after a little-known group of Civil War soldiers who met an unfortunate fate atop Lookout Mountain in Tennessee. The album incorporates a wide range of instruments - keys, mandolin, trumpet, melodica, voice, plastic bags, guitar, and more - along with computer-manipulated loops and samples of various sounds, including sneezes, snow shovels, and even an orgasm. The main focus throughout, though, are Casey's words.

We've Got Videos Now!
Casey and Carl have started making videos for the songs on the album. Here is Casey's take on 'Adventures In The False Mirror':
A bird once crapped in my can of coke. It went cleanly down the hole. If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have known, and that would have been bad. Kinda like you're hangover.
I can't read whatever it is that your profile is trying to say. Maybe the words are mispelled. I see you're friends with Paris Street and Stuart which is a bad sign but I guess we'll accept you for now.
