-Who LOST CAUSES is-
In March of 2003, Trevor and Tick were looking to start
a new street punk insurgency in the musically waning town of Las Cruces, NM. In
front of a cloudless southwestern horizon, they set up their gear for what would
be their first practice in Andy’s (the original drummer’s) living room. As
the three were figuring out what to play first, a guy walked into the house
carrying a cooler full of beer and a notepad full or words, it was Curtis Rofo.
By chance, after the departure of Andy, Tick and Trevor
ran into a young mohawked drummer whose name was Sam. After being christened
Sammy Boy, LOST CAUSES, with little downtime, picked up where they left off.
-What LOST CAUSES is-
LOST CAUSES play a brand of street punk that is
dirty-intense, dogged with energy, faster than sin, akin to old ’85 skater
punk. The shows are non-stop momentum; the songs are abrupt, lean, and get right
down to what the fuck it’s all about. (Without taking themselves too damn
seriously.) It’s drunken songs about real life--about existing in New Mexico
as a Lost Causes Scallywag!
Dang.
We play to anyone that will listen. We play for anyone who understands. Sucka!
Lost Causes is:
Curtis
who sings the songs.
Tick who
plays guitar.
Trevor who
plays bass
Sammy Boy
who bangs on things.
Bands we’ve played with in our rock odyssey: Lower Class Brats, Broken Bones, Total Chaos, Envain (R.I.P),

the Above, Vena Cava, Liquid Cheese, All or Nothing HC, Midnight Creeps, Avoid
One Thing, Go Betty Go, The Nicoteens, 12 Step Rebels and many more.
They were all swell people.
