A bunch of kids from central Jersey and points beyond digging through their closets and blowing the dust off old demo cassettes, VHS tapes, records, photos and setlists written on napkins. DIGITIZE IT!
This album compiles live versions of songs The Sick Passengers never properly documented in the studio. The sound quality isn't great and the performances are occasionally ramshackle, but sometimes imperfect memories are better than nothing.
Tracks 1-5 were recorded on November 17, 2001 at the Local Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tracks 6-12 were recorded at Uncle Joe's in Jersey City. Coincidentally, Lungs of a Giant chipped in mighty sets on both of these nights as well.
Mark, Chris, Bill, and I recorded four songs in an afternoon in December 2001 in a tiny studio located just below Canal Street. We were still young and precocious enough to think it was a good idea to start our recorded output with the boast “I know everything” and use mathematical equations in song titles. This demo helped us to land many a gig in the early years.
