March 1993 Unfinished Instrumental Demos

1993-03-23T05:54:00.000-08:00

On March 23, 1993 Eric did a couple new guitar demos for the band to work on. We never finished the songs and I think that Eric took them off to later band(s) at later times. Not downloadable, but I threw them up as Youtubes.

Demo Tape To Get Gigs With

1992-12-15T07:44:00.000-08:00

In like November and December of 1992, Slept On It! went down in the basement and recorded a demo tape in the hope of getting gigs in 1993. The strategy worked, probably in no small part due to the scorching version of the song "Good" that kicks off this shindig. Tracklist: (1) Good; (2) Job Interview (With The Devil); (3) Seeing Other Women; (4) Lady Preacher; and (5) Quietude.

Live Around Halloween 1992

1992-10-30T07:50:00.000-08:00

Recorded at a Halloween party in October 1992. Not a good recording. Too much drums, almost no vocal. Fun to hear how rowdy the crowd was and how good Matt's drums were, even though he was pretty new to the band at this point. Tracklist: (1) Ready Set Race To Yer Death; (2) I Cut It Off!; (3) Tom's Song; (4) Quietude; (5) Lady Preacher; (6) Good; (7) RAD; (8) Ambidextrous Reader Song; (9) House Onna Hill; (10) Seein' Other Women; (11) 6-Man Carry; (12) Congressman; (13) One And A Half; and (14) Walking.

Bekeley Graduation Party June 1992

1992-06-15T16:06:00.000-07:00

This was a party at a friend of Josh the drummer's house, and the "Theme From Shaft II" video, below, showcases what a talented drummer he was (and probably still is). Sadly, his style was not always a good fit with the band's punk and rockabilly sides, so there was an amicable split soon after this party. I am very glad this document, lo fi though it may be, survives. This was the first time I ever sang (if you can call it that) in public. I was nervous and happy. Tracklist: (1) Hobson's Choice; (2) House Onna Hill; (3) Tom's Song; (4) I Cut It Off!; (5) Congressman; (6) One And A Half; (7) Ambidextrous Reader Song; (8) Heaven (Talking Heads cover); (9) Lady Preacher; (10) Seeing Other Women; (11) Theme From Shaft II; and (12) Job Interview (With the Devil).
