Sprites - Starling, Spiders, Tiger and Sprites
(March Records)

Once upon a time in D.C. a bunch of self-professed computer nerds started making music. With songs like "The Downside of Computer Camp", "I Have the Password To Your Shell Account" and "Robot Trouble"... these were not your average skateboard punks trying to hammer out a tune. The band was Barcelona. From from the death of one thing spurned another as Jason, Jen, Ivan and Christian aren't making music together anymore. The first offshoot to arise on record is Sprites. (Those of you who were paying attention have already heard a Sprites song on our Flirt compilation... and may have also noted The Positions formed by another former Barcelona Boy.)
