about

For the past 15 years, I have been staring at this little clear box of minidiscs, some labeled, some not, that has sat on a shelf on my desk but I could not find the blue Sony MZ-N707 Minidisc recorder I bought in the early 2000s to play them on.

That is, until about a month ago when I went snooping through old boxes I had in storage. I found my Minidisc player and after I replaced the batteries, it played as though I had not let it sit, abandoned for the past 15 years.

I started listening back to the minidiscs and found mostly weird demos of solo and 7Seconds songs, along with episodes of my first podcast.

Then, I stumbled onto some audio of me performing live, as the special guest, of an open mic my friend Grub Dog hosted here at Old Ironsides in Sacramento back in 2001. I was playing electric guitar and had a crack backing band (Cary Rodda on bass, Mark Harrod on drums and harmonies and David Houston on Tambourine). I was shocked by how good it all sounded, both the band and the actual quality of the recording.

I transferred it onto my studio computer and started EQing and messing with it and I love what I was able to come up with and decided to release it as a "live album" here on my Bandcamp.

All of the songs were songs released on my album, 'Heaven's Near Wherever You Are' that had been released a few months prior but somehow, I love the energy of them here about 100 times more than what was captured on the album itself.

I hope you dig it,

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
