Rocklon:
I need to put a full bio up here, but the last rock band I was in (that played shows) was called Home of the Wildcats. The band had Gary Flom (purkinje shift, moreland audio,) Rick Moore (Barrel, John Brown, Copa Vance, Lay Down Mains) and Lee Corum (Some Soviet Station, Copa Vance, Lay Down Mains (Chapter Hall?.)) guitar&vox/guitar&vox/drums+dancing. I played bass and sang some as well. I feel like it was a pretty natural extension of everything that had come before, but that was not a turn on for the current Atlanta scene. Maybe it was because we used manamps, but we drove both the indie/softie/shaggers and the metal/devilhorn/you're sure the ace of spades chain wallet is still cool?/fakers out of every club we played in (EXCEPT for our first show at the Art Farm...people were clapping because they were that much closer to seeing the carbonas (hi there.)) We recorded what I consider to be a great album (a personal great...not great in the annals of rock great) and then I think overthought why no one liked our music so we broke up. No cd release...no nuttin'. West Side Red layed it to tape. Carls Saff (nutrino, Emperor Penguin) mastered. Sorry but I still think all the current atlanta rock sounds really weak (except this.) If you're gonna dance...flow with the noot and our kissin' cousins.
Man oh man this is getting needlessly long winded so here is the link to the Home of the Wildcats full length album. It is not in the sequence that we chose but I still have to figure out media fire stuff (hell, I just figured out how to make hyperlinks.)

I had to comment on my own post because Adam Overton sent me this in a private email:
"that's funny - some of the hotw songs sound like they're from a
broadway musical
"might as well get used to it" "
Wow, I can't believe I found this site. I'm a huge fan of Purkinje Shift and Moreland Audio, and I have to admit I was very excited about HOTW. It's too bad what happened, but I'm happy to at least to hear these masters, what was the desired track sequence? Congrats on a great record anyway and please do not stop making music.
