Handy w/ Shovels! Rich Varone! Jimmy Bean! Updates!!

Alright, it's time for the first real update at the new site. We're still hoping to get the Hw/S cd done soon. I'm getting more and more emails about our demo's floating around on ebay, and where can they get our music. It's awesome that so many people still dig the band, and still want more! So here's where we're at... The original master reel is lost somewhere in Stockton. Until we find that, we just have our cassette copies, which don't sound too shabby. In regards to the 5 songs recorded in San francisco in 1994 (the SF Sessions). One of the two DAT's got eaten in a freak accident in a studio in Sacramento. Talk about bad luck. I've posted 1 song from the SF sessions in the music section. Please feel free to copy it, and pass it around. It's a rough copy, but it gives an idea of where we were headed musically before we split up. I'm hoping to get the full CD done this year. The title as of right now is "One of these days". Tell all yer friends about it! Also we recorded an Aggression song "Body count" for a tribute record coming out this year. Unfortunately we can't find our original drummer, Chris Gonzales, but Brian Tomei's room mate John filled in, and did a great job. Chris, if you're out there send me email or something! Stay tuned for more on that. Rich Varone just left the studio, after a day full of tracking drums. Rich is a great songwriter, guitar player and vocalist. If you can imagine Bob Mould meets Michael Stipe who meets Robert Pollard and they all go get coffee in Seattle... You can't, okay, but you'll get it when it's done.. I promise. Jimmy Bean is still tracking here also. About 3 rough songs have been done, great stuff also. Speaking of the Bean, the Cd's are almost gone. If you don't have one, you'd better get on it. That's all for now... Jimmy......
