Watching that Blake Babies 88 at the Rat video was like being on drugs! Wow

That phase, with Evan on bass, is when it all came together. Such a fun phase.

Yes, you guys were awesome. Wish the four of you could reunite just one time. I love his new song “Deep End” —When Evan & Juliana sing together it sounds like it’s coming from a higher dimension

That wasn’t easy to pull off, the Jules vocals. I was persistent. Freda has retired from drumming due to chronic injuries so that reunion won’t happen.

Great post. I'm a big fan of putting a wah after a distortion, myself — you can get some really nasty and abrasive sounds that way.

Hey Dan! Any sort of orthodoxy about pedal order is lame. The coolest sounds come from doing things wrong on purpose! In fact, the coolest things generally come from doing things wrong on purpose.
