In July of
2002, Spud and Mad Dog (then known as "Bro") were travelling to Lancaster, PA
for Octothorpe's first real live show. On the plane with us, headed to D.C. was
an old acquaintence of Mad Dog's, Matt Robesch (mattro). After some catching
up, we gave mattro a copy of a four-song demo CD that we had brought with us.
After listening to the demo, he told us about a project he was contemplating to
create an Oingo Boingo tribute album, and asked us if we would be interested in
participating. Do we look stupid? A year and a half later, we got a call from mattro asking if we were still interested. He sent us a CD of some Oingo Boingo tunes to choose from, and Spud starting arranging "Little Guns" for recording. A year later, we were in the studio with Leland Hirschman (lelando) producing, It so happened that Blue Lang and Glenn Case were in town to play a show with MC Frontalot (with Spud on keyboard and horn), and we were all practicing for the show at Octothorpe Studios. We worked up Little Guns as well, and we got them into the studio with us. The lineup was as follows: Mad Dog - vocals Spud - horn Crash - keyboards Glenn Case - bass Blue Lang - drums Now, another year and a half later, the CD is out, and it's a winner. We are in good company with 16 other bands from up and down the West Coast, Texas, and even Wales. The playlist includes: Who Do You Want To Be - Mark Lemhouse Running on a Treadmill - Woodrush Grey Matter - K23 Orchestra Heard Somebody Cry - jack the original Lost Like This - They Walk Among Us Nasty Habits - Sick On the Outside - Disbonded Spider - Scott Fisher Band Nothing Bad Ever Happens - The Cheats Skin - Maneja Beto Little Girls - Sneakin' Out Only a Lad - Delta Nove Not My Slave - Shiftless Layabout Stay - Lelando Little Guns - Octothorpe Private Life - Brett Dennen Dead Man's Party - Intervision |
