Havalina Rail Co. (or just Havalina) was an eclectic folk/jazz/rock band from Long Beach, California. From 1994 to to 2005 they played chaotic shows and recorded five albums, none of which sounded like any of the others, or like anything else in the world. At the end, frontman Matt Wignall spoke of them [[Deconstruction|deconstructing]] pop music, and (jokingly, one presumes) described them as "the last true punk band in America"--which still isn't really a good description of the music. It would probably be more informative to give an album-by-album breakdown:
Line 24:
In 2006, Havalina released a retrospective album, '''''We Remember Anarchy''''', as a free download on [http://mattwignall.com/havalinaland/ their website]. Besides the obligatory "best-of" tracks, it featured previously-unreleased material: early recordings, live-in-the-studio tracks, and two [[Cut Song|cut songs]] from ''Pacific''.
* Matt Wignall: primary vocalist, guitar, banjo (plus lap steel guitar and mouth harp on ''America'')
* Orlando Greenhill: upright and electric bass, noise, backing vocals
Line 39:
And those are just the actual band members. Who knows how many ''guest musicians'' they've had.

* [[Break Up Song]]: All the love-themed tracks from ''Space, Love, & Bullfighting'' (so, about a third of the album) are about a relationship on the brink.
* [[Book Ends]]: That sax riff from ''Diamond in the Fish''.
