Kurt Mayberry's Mod/Ska/Reggae/New Wave band from Arizona during the 80's, these are the 3 releases I know they had.
The 7" K-15 Presents from 1980, the 12" I am guessing is from around 1985 and the 6 song ep In The Night from 1987.
Excerpts from the Pete Gilstrap New Times article June 29, 1995, a few weeks after singer Kurt Mayberry's death:
...The X-Streams, one of the bigger Valley bands to come out of the New Wave/ska scene in the early Eighties. Mayberry, along with his wife, Debbie, purchased the Sun Club in 1989, a legendary Tempe rock dive now immortalized forever on the cover of Dead Hot Workshop's new 1001 album.
Bob Steinhilber co-founded the X-Streams with Peter Tessensohn, Steve Kriol and Lorraine Springer. Steinhilber played drums in the band until 1985. He says that Mayberry was the final ingredient that made things take off. "We had Kurt come along, and from the git-go, it was just great. I've played in a lot of bands, and for some reason, this just clicked right away. . .
...the X-Streams were a big draw in Phoenix and Los Angeles.

BIG THANX! I lost my copy of the X-Streams K-15 record decades ago. One of my favorite records. One of my favorite bands. Good people. I will never forget seeing them live at the Razz. Boy, that Loraine...
By the way, the other 2 discs are gone, can you re-upload them?
I have re-uploaded the files, enjoy!
Hello,
My name is Nicole (daughter of I-RAINE Springer), I particularly would like to talk to Greg if he would sign on. I was a young girl when the x-streams were gigging and I have many fond memories of the band practicing in the living room of moms' apartment. Greg, please contact me at Triniprefect@gmail.com
If you could forward any recordings for Kurt`s daughters, Singer and Jasmine that would be great!
I have refreshed all the links, enjoy!
Thank you very much.
I came across your site while I was searching for a tracklisting for the EP and I struck gold!
Thanks for taking the time to re-up these!
Hey Pat -
Thank you for this. Shoot me an e-mail some time - you & Matt were definitely huge influences on my life, and I'd love to catch up...
