These recordings were taken early in the bands short carreer. The band
fragmaneted thusly. Norm began to take Kirk's suisidal, nilistic,
psyopathic lyrics a too seriously on stage. I was never able to
repeat the walkman scrachings of the Linden show. 4 or 5 gigs later,
Arron got an offer to tour with the Crucifucks. Later, Kirk
moved on to Fat Amy, and some other bands I wasn't there for.
Currently, Kirk is in a band called Ity Bity which i can say had a fine
show around christmas time in 2001at Mac's and, as far as i know, is
still playing the Lansing area.
This just in, Fat Amy will be playing on ABC Primetime Live, Sept 22 2003
Other bands playing around that time and frame of mind were:
11:55, Army of God. Crusifucks.
Thanksyous: the late Jeff Szeremet, for loaning me tape. Shawn Smith, Lisa,
Jenny Pancakes Mitchel, Tracy Hankins, Jason Frank, Lara Stapleton,
Jason Frank, Joel Kuzai, Gilman Miller, Raff AOG,
1st recording: Feb 1985. This was recorded in Kirk's basement. It was
very loud. Norman didn't make it so Kirk had to do all the singing. It
was a casual after school thing.
Live on the cornet of Linden and Mac. March 3rd, 1985. I
forget who's house party this was. The walkman scraching was completly
improvised The tape borrowed from Jeff was a snippit of a childern's
concert at Marble Elementary. We were the warm up act. 11:55 and Army
of God headlined. Another Norman kept fucking with the recording
levels during the show. Fuck you Norman!
