The archiving has begun.  I randomly grabbed a 4-track tape and it happened to be called Moose Dick.  That seems like a good sign.  This is tape #31 of ???.

This song was a collaboration between Volumen^2 (Bryan) and Volumen-2 (Dugginz).  Pretty sure it was recorded in the old house on Dearborn before we moved to the Volumen Compound.

I think it was some classic Volumen "first take" 4-track shit.  And, from the sounds of the lyrics, professional wrestling was on the TV.

"I found the 4-track original recording of this song!"

That sentence bounced across the canyon walls, the words calling back to only each other.  

JK, y'all.  I know you are listening.

The Squares (UWYO) - 4-Track Tape #5 - Oh Eee Oh Eee Oh (remix)

Some Kind of Cream? (SKOC) existed in Cheyenne (and later, Laramie) Wyoming in the 90s.  This was one of our earlier songs about a minor supervillain from Spider-man comics.

Some Kind of Cream? - Rocket Racer

This is the second song, Kick in the Eye.  This was from the 10/26/2013 Bauhaus Montana show.

Kick in the Eye

These two songs were so close together and I just left them like that.  Plus, the title of both of them together works nicely.

In The Night / In The Flat Field

Some things only look good on Instagram. 

This was another demo from the Honeybee Sessions with Erika singing the main part this time.  We also called it "The song of me".

Instagram Marriage

This is a song we workshopped for a band that didn't (yet) have a name.

Idiot Balloon

Another demo of a song for a band that doesn't practice anymore and never had a name.

Happening

Swingline

Another instrumental that didn't quite get finished.

Infinite Chord

This is an unfinished song about a Djinn that you summon with cigarettes.

Obsidian Djim

I wrote this song to trick an amazing lady to fall in love with me.

Erika

This was from the first Volumen show at Jay's Upstairs.  Sammy J Adams from the Fireballs of Freedom is on drums, Doug on guitar, Shane on... uh... also guitar?  I think we practiced with Sammy like twice before this show.

Chris Bacon (Volumen Bkawck) worked up lots of variations of The Launch.  Here's one of them.

The Launch I

The Launch II

This is a song about "trying" beer.  It's also about that magical land between your 2nd and 3rd beer.

In 2016 or 2017 there was a rock lotto where all bands had to perform songs from albums that were released in 1986.  Additionally, every band had to do a version of Final Countdown by Europe.  This was a recording from our practice room a day or so before the show.

This song became a Volumen staple for quite some time.  This is the original 4-track version.  

Volumen - Teejay (4-track version)

Another song from our 03/30/2012 practice

Cure Music - The Hanging Garden

This was our first stab at Telegram Sam.  Holy crap this is a fun song to play.

Bauhaus Cover Practice - Telegram Sam

I am a lover of all things novelty and bubblegum.   Yet, for some reason I often find myself in nerd rawk bands.
