21 years ago we were taking the stage as opening act for Soul Asylum at the Metro in Chicago. Our sound man Mike Komm decided to stick a stereo mic on top of the recording console and I wound up with the cassette so I have this to share with you. We were pretty exhausted after a week of chasing the SA bus around the east coast in our crappy van but spirits were high as our record was starting to get some airplay, we had just played the WHFStival side stage in our hometown of DC, and things were looking bright. If you ever wondered what it was like to be in a hot and crowded club in the mid 90's, play this as loudly as possible and cover yourself in cigarette smoke and stale beer !
