Garden Weasel at the chicken coup studio 02/92

 I didn't have this recording until Ed sent them to me recently.  We were really starting to settle in as a band at this point and probably had forty or fifty songs we could play.  I wish you could have heard us do the "Stray Cat Strut" or " Stayin Alive" covers.  I loved this band and I think alot of other people dug us too.  Man we got to play some really fun shows too (gw2).  In Dead Ed's blog (see links), he talks about our practice pad in Manilla.

"We somehow secure a practice space at one of the most bizarre locations in the world: a row of chicken coops in the town of Manila. Now, Manila is not your ordinary town. Located on a sandy penninsula, not far from the disgustingly fragrant pulp mill on Humboldt bay, Manila was basically a sea-side trailer park with a few ramshackle houses thrown in for good measure. The chicken coops were located on a farm that was populated with a cast of characters that even John Waters couldn't have thought up. First off, directly over the farm house were the 10,000 volt power lines that carried power out to the gigantic pulp mills further up the road. We reasoned to ourselves that this was why all the adult children that lived there seemed a little...different. We're talking giant munchkin-land, here, people. The mother was a dead-ringer for the Egg Lady from Pink Flamingos. She never left her big chair in the living room and was surrounded by her large, egg-shaped adult children who seemed to be very slow in the head. Our favorite was Nick, who looked very much like the ogre from the HBO series 'Fraggle Rock'. Nick was always very curious about the bands playing in the chicken coops and would come and hang out with whoever was around. "

Steve and I used to take the Turk mobile, the Dodge that Dodge Or hitch hike to practice out there.  My favorite was hitch hiking because you really met some interest characters on the way to Manilla.  We used to go hang out at that place just to be there and go check out other bands practicing.  Anyway enough words.  I hope you dig a song or two
