THE VANDALIAS / SPARROWS (1992)

Released in 1992, the single was supposed to be released as the Sparrows (see labels below) by Susstones Records but a Ten Pop sticker was put over the Susstones label. Actually the long-out-of-print single was the Vandalias debut single and was released by Tenpop Works and Susstones Records. Both songs "Build This House" and "I'd Be A Boy" were Sparrows songs and were both included on Mach V. With the full connivance of longtime partner and Sparrows drummer Pete Lockner, the singer/songwriter introduced the Vandalias to the world with the 1992 single "Build This House." Sarka designed the Vandalias characters and illustrated their first two releases, but surrendered his illustrator's hat to Greg Reinel (see Nicoteens & Nutrajet) when the two collaborated on the Vandalias comic book in 1995. Today check Stingray Green.
