about

These are all old mixes of songs we'd recorded for the “Pig Tail World” CD but that didn’t end up on the album. Songs that were long ago given up for dead. But listening to them now, although the recordings were pretty rough around the edges, they also had good energy and some good performances. It seemed like with a little sprucing up they could be made presentable. So with the assistance of friend John back east in the Grasshopper Records Massachusetts office, in conjunction with Grasshopper's state-of-the-art mastering facility on planet Uranus, we worked tirelessly, day and night, going without snacks, in a painstaking effort to restore these long lost tracks to their rightful lo-fi glory!

Listening to these songs is the same as taking a time machine back to the 20th century.

We're putting them up as a 6-song EP for free download. Enjoy. (Just click "Buy" and enter $0).

Pseudonym is a band consisting of me, Paul Desjarlais, and other real or imaginary people. Back in Boston a long time ago I used to play bass for The Uncalled Four, and then for Haberland.
