Crawling from the muds.





This is just for the curious. It is from a cassette recording of the band that eventually turned into Purkinje Shift. It was originally a four piece group that had the bassless lineup of Gary, Scott and me but with the third guitar of Sadek Bazarra (now of Bear in Heaven) added. It's kind of funny because it actually sounds more like Helmet than anything else (to me anyway.) We were toying around with band names and at the time Sadek was WAY into the word "android." I mean like as an adverb or adjective. He would walk around saying things like "man, that shit is so fucking android." I could never figure out exactly what he meant because it seemed to apply to just about everything that he was into. Anyway, he wanted to name the band "The Android Symptom" and even had a circuit board cut into a pick guard for his SG. I'm so happy to say that the name didn't stick (sorry Sadek.) Well, I guess it's obvious that it didn't stick. Eventually we became a three piece band and...Bob's your uncle. Even after two separate fiddlins with the sound quality falls into the sludge-o-phonic category, but it's still interesting. This was recorded sometime in 1996 on Gare Bear's cassette recorder. You may need some Stanbacks afterwards...0nly one song, by the way...
