Garbagedrink - Storyforest

Technically not a Put On Your Drinking Cap release this album was from the same tradition of self-released and homemade albums. There's the Eggboard cassette tape that came first, but hearing that will depend on getting a cassette player connected to the internet.

Garbagedrink was Christopher Eckart, Brendan Munn and Chad Ingles. Chad joined the band having never really played an instrument before. It's a somewhat embarrassing memento of the time. Lovingly recorded mostly on a Tascam 8-track cassette type thing. It could really use a remastering.

Storyforest was released in 1995 using an ingenious "buy the CD in advance and get three for the price of one" special offer that resulted in near-instant market saturation, ensuring nobody could unload their extra two copies. It features a bunch of sci-fi songs about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Star Wars, The Death Gate Cycle, and so on.

There were lots of shows at the X Club and a highlight of our lives was opening for Eric's Trip there.

Yah Yarpalogue!

Here's a list of all our shows as far as I know thanks to Brendan's meticulous record-keeping:
