If you have to have a band, why not hire Ian McLagan (Small Faces, etc) and ex-members of The Damned, PIL and 3 Mustaphas 3? Then get our wonderful pal Grant Showbiz to produce, with the ever-patient...
Singles, outtakes and rarities from a band that lurked through the grunge years in Seattle. Note that Jack Endino played guitar in this band and probably recorded/produced it all though there's no...

Our buddy Mark Addison is 1/2 this band with Nina Singh, and they recorded it at his fully-equipped Slaughterhouse home studio in Austin. Modern- sounding rock-pop with some cool production twists and...
