Recordings
 
EXPLANATION
Recorded sometime around the middle of 2006 mostly in Jef’s living room, with remote recording at John's parents' house in Bethany, where he kept an honest-to-god Wurlitzer organ in the basement. Mike split mid-recording and by the time the CD was pressed, Martin was also long gone. The photo on the cover is of the house across the street from Tyler's parents' house burning down, circa 1996 or so. True story.

PERSONNEL Tyler Trudeau: vocals, guitars, bass, organ Jef Wilson: drums, percussion Produced and recorded by Jef Wilson in his apartment in Hamden, CT, summer and fall, 2002. EXPLANATION As there was no real band in 2002, this was meant to be a demo, but things got out of hand. On most songs, the amplifiers were placed in the stairwell and mic-ed from the landing. However, most people are less curious about that than the title, which came from a line in “Sherry” by The Four Seasons. Lyrics to most of these songs have been since re-written. This disc is out of print, and physical copies are just about gone. home
