Demo CDR/Tape
Released 01/2003
This is long, long out of print. All the songs on this recording were re-recorded and/or re-released on other releases.
There are three different versions of this that we
put out. The first was an unmastered CD-R. The second was a mastered
CD-R with a different track order than the first. The third was
a mastered tape, awesomely made by Chad, with the same track order
as the unmastered CD-R. These audio files on this site were ripped and encoded
from the mastered CD-R version.
[…] Its most release, July’s Midwestern Minutes, is available on the band’s Web site as a free download. —Kirsten […]
I have listened to all of these shows so many times. You are my favorite band of all time!
