Even MORE downloads...

More of my own shit...this one's pretty old. Jim Jones Catering Service was probably the 3rd or 4th 'real' band I was ever involved in. I wrote most of the music and lyrics for our tunes, and it was a chaotic blend of Nirvana-ish rock, math-rock time signatures, and free-jazz saxophone...all with catchy choruses and 3-part dude vocals. I dunno, that's how it was described to me more than once, anyhow. I'm not sure if everybody wants me using full names, but the lineup (for this record) was as follows:

Kellen - Drums
Matt - Saxophone/Vocals
Me - Guitar/Vocals
Kyle - Guitar/Vocals
Chris - Bass
Tom - Keyboards/Vocals

although our bassist from conception until about 2 months before this album was a dude named Boe. Not to get into too much detail, but we played for about 3-4 years, cutting 2 EPs and 1 full length album all ourselves before deciding to do a 'studio' LP with Mark Larmee at Broadside Productions. Probably the best-sounding recordings I've ever played on.

The music (save saxophone and keyboards) was recorded live, mostly in 2-3 takes (sometimes less). If I remember correctly, we tracked to tape (1/2"???) and then Mark mixed and mastered the whole thing in Pro-Tools.

The catch? We broke up about a week before the masters came back to us, and never did a damn thing with this record. Oh well.
