The Sunglasses Sessions song 3 is called Second . . . I always thought that was funny . . .

Second

Song 6 from The Sunglasses Sessions . . . That's What She Said. Sort of a Walt Mink inspired guitar part with Adam singing lead.

06 That's What She Said

In 1996, a kid named Ryan Becken asked some local Duluth musicians/friends of his to help him do a limited-time-only Misfits cover band. Tony Bennett was one, Scott Litwin was another. They both had played together since high school in the band Relapse, which had broken up the year before. Bennett (bass) and Litwin (drums) brought pal Rusty Johnson on board to play guitar for the tribute, which was dubbed "Devilock" for obvious reasons. They played two shows: one at the Orpheum in downtown Duluth, and another at Le Petit in Superior. That was that.

After Becken went off to school, the three remaining Devilockers decided to keep on playing together. Bennett and Johnson swapped instruments, and they began playing original songs. Before long, the band had amassed a ton of material, and they soon found a name for their band: The Dames.

Almost exactly twenty years after this tape was recorded in a tiny room in a dance studio above the Electric Fetus, and in recognition of the original Misfits' reunion, here's a bunch of obnoxious kids playing punk rock. It sounds like shit, the performances aren't great, but it's got spirit and heart. And this is where the first baby steps of The Dames were taken. 

Twenty years ago.

This recording is dedicated to the memory of Scott Litwin.
