Artist History This goes way back to 1984, when Orwell was said to walk the earth, there we were in this two hundred year old farm house in Massachusetts with an 8 track and a whole bunch of instruments and friends. Those were amazing times and this is amazing music. What can I say, the band broke up when we were all evicted on Christmas eve by the town of Maynard. The charge: running a bording-house! True? NOT!!! But then, I don't think they liked us very much, and were just looking for a reason to anihilate us. I remember hearing that the meter-readers were afraid of us. "Feathers in the windows" they said...Oh yeah, there was that time that Tom lit off 200 bottle rockets in the woods out back...and then there was that time that Crispy got all dressed up in a white wedding dress and chased Morningstar around the outside of the house with an obscenely large zuchini squash. Could that have been it? The squash?

Albums Walks of Life

Press Reviews This is an 'underground album'. It was never 'discovered' to my knowledge, but I heard some boot-legs of it were floating around out there somewhere. If any one's ever heard these songs and been mystified, I'd love to hear from you.
