A collection of stuff Russ has done on the 4 track, solo demos, plus full band cuts and experimental tracks, all raw. Tracks 1 and 7 are from an abandoned "mellow" solo record, never did vocals. Just a bunch of guitars in an empty room, natural reverb too. 2 and 9 are Rocket Cottage tracks I did for a video that Nick made of us, live in the space, plus a second vocal, me bass/vox, Nick drums, Chris guitar. Tracks 4 and 10 are the band Table, might be all live in the space (I don't remember!) Probably Brad drums, Tom bass, me guitar/vox. Track 5 is from Night Moose, Brian drums, Mole bass, me guitar/vox. Did an extra vocal. Need to someday do that to the rest of the tracks, live vocal is buried on em. Track 6 is from a tape I credited to Exploding Planet, me on guitar, bass, and real drums. It's messed up stuff. Track 8 is a version of a song I wrote for blues duo The Bar Code (me guitar/vox, Todd Sandvick drums) It's me on guitars, bass, vox, fishtank. This is just a sampler of stuff I recorded over the years, there's much more craziness if you want it. Vol 2 anyone?
