Here’s a tune written by Steve back in 1993. We’ve rehearsed this one countless times over the years, and finally captured a version worth releasing, with a little help from Logic and Melodyne.

This take is from December 26, 2018. Edited and mixed in June 2020.

Happy New Year!

We managed to get in a rehearsal over the holidays, and recorded a few tunes. Mixes will be posted here as they become available. Check out the latest versions of “The Android Fandango” and “Yoko Ono's Tupperware Party ”.

Rik partnered with Jason Orris of the Terrarium Studio to have our 1998 recording sessions transferred to digital. The original sessions, recorded on 2” 24 track analog tape (Neve console, Studer recorder) were in good shape but needed to be baked before transfer to ProTools. Rik then made digital copies for Steve and Todd. We’ll now review the recordings and see what is there. Perhaps some new treasures - such as “The Trio” will emerge?

Also, on July 5 and 6 we rehearsed some of our back catalog, including “Bump”, “I’ve Seen Deadwood and I’ve Seen Mine”, “Speed Punk”, “Beware The Cartoon Mouse” and “Born Out Of A Dream”

The beginnings of a new tune, which emerged out of a funk riff by Steve was recorded as well. Title: “Fruit Salad Surgery”.
