About

Plan was a full album, but ended up with an ep. Trombone player is in FL, one bass player recorded here on 2/15, drummer recorded 2/18, second bassist recorded and e-mailed 2/25. Recorded for us, but may turn this into an actual band project (recording and perfoming). More songs would have been included, but the universe did not cooperate.

Favourite Moment

Recording the drum tracks. My bird was at attention.

Advice

Take a day or two to review all the requirements for finishing, because it will all change from year to year. Yes, I'm bitchin'.
