about

This is an album that we recorded live, with just our voices and two guitars. The recordings were made in Hamburg and Koln in February of 1993. It was during a deep-winter-chill, and the only time we warmed up was when we were inside the clubs. WARNING: These shows were not unplugged. Plenty of electricity was used.
